Most memorable tour of Kyoto

Kazuhiko was lovely. He organised our day trip according to our demands and made us feel very welcome. He also took the time to tell us about the history of Japan and its traditions. It was extremely hot in Kyoto but yet we still manage to visit a lot of places. We can’t recommend Kazu enough.

Kazuhiko G.

Thank you for your kind review. I apologize for making you walk in the very hot weather and for not being able to provide you with sufficient guidance due to the heat. Did you get rid of your fatigue? I hope this tour will be a memorable experience for you in Japan. Please come back to Japan again. Thank you!!
