Review for: Private Walking Tour (Adult 5-8 People, Child Age 0-12)

Milo is a good, interesting guide who will not let you get bored during the excursion. My son was in Kyoto for the first time and for this acquaintance with the city was very informative. The most important thing in the heat of 40 degrees Milo took us to places where you can also take a break, drink local soft drinks and have a good and tasty lunch. We were not bored. If you need a bright guide with a good sense of humor and who knows the history of the city well, then I can definitely recommend Milo.

Review for: Private Walking Tour (Adult 1-4 People)

Hiro was an incredible guide. He took is to experiences that were beyond looking at historical/religious/cultural sites. Anything we said we has an interest in he was able to find and guide us through. Such as my husband's glasses broke on our trip, and he was able to help us get them repaired and new ones quickly on our tour. We were able to eat and some really great local spots. We had our 17 month daughter and Hiro was so kind to her and acommidated our sometimes slower pace. We weren't sure what this tour would be but it is 100% tailored to you. 10/10 I recommend highly.
