Passeios por Kyoto Botanical Garden

I highly recommend our tour guide, Jasmine. She is kind-hearted, experienced, and always attentive to everyone's needs. Our family traveled with children, and she was able to look after the kids while also meeting the adults' requirements. She accurately recommended and patiently adjusted our itinerary based on our specific situation. We had a wonderful time throughout the trip. She also gave excellent suggestions for lunch and dinner. I hope you all get to meet Jasmine!

Tour guide Sangtian and two colleagues, a total of three people. There were only four members in our group. Tour guide Sangtian was very professional, and we had a very pleasant day. Highly recommended! A perfect 100 points.

guide: Ceci E. Did a fantastic job! If I could I'd leave 10 stars, she was very kind, patient, polite and an overall excellent guide!

Tuvimos un gran recorrido al atardecer con nuestro guía, Logan, quien nos brindó mucha información sobre el distrito de Gion y la historia y los acontecimientos de la vida de una geisha. Ninguna pregunta quedó sin respuesta. Lo disfrutamos muchísimo, solo deseamos que hubiera hecho más calor.

The morning itinerary in Ine was quite packed. The cafes were overflowing with people, so there was no way to leisurely enjoy the food and scenery. Feeding the seagulls from the boat was indeed very interesting. I accidentally got hit by "golden rain" and even got bitten, but the feeling of being treated like a bird's nest by the seagulls was quite peculiar, almost like being close to nature. The afternoon at Amanohashidate was about 2 hours. Following the tour guide, after taking the cable car, there was only about an hour left. The scenery on the mountain was magnificent, and there were quite a few facilities to enjoy. It happened to be the Emperor's birthday (or yesterday), so many shops were closed, and we couldn't find a place to eat (the remaining few were packed with people). However, there were still a few small vendors where we could buy snacks. The scenery at Akechi Temple was beautiful, and the paper umbrella ema were also very pretty; I really wanted to take them home. The tour guide was kind and very enthusiastic, constantly emphasizing the characteristics of the attractions. When I accidentally broke the handle of a cabinet on the bus, he kindly said it was okay, which made me feel a bit embarrassed. The itinerary was great, and I would consider it again in the future. I recommend it to others.

From the moment I saw the name, I knew this was the person for me... I thought my trip to Kyoto would be really fun, and it certainly was! They were incredibly kind and explained everything in great detail, making the trip twice as enjoyable! Not only did they provide detailed explanations about the spots, but they also shared insights into Japanese culture and their life experiences, which kept things from getting boring. Also, there aren't many tours that include Nara, so I compared many options, and this tour was 100,000,000,000,000% satisfying. :) After the tour, they even recommended a great restaurant near Namba and offered to make a reservation if possible, so I asked for a yakiniku place. The first bite was amazing... It was truly, truly, truly delicious, the best meat I've ever had in my life!!! It was a happy tour where I felt reassured by their offer to contact them anytime if I needed other restaurant recommendations, had questions, or faced difficulties during my trip, and I felt like I had met a wonderful person.

It was such an honor and a great experience. Definitely worth the money. We had fun as Ai was such an excellent guide. She provided nuances between Maiko and Geiko, correcting the preconceived notions given by the movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, and being an excellent interpreter. Umemai-san, the maiko that performed for us, was very amazing. For someone so young to be able to perform for us with great confidence and answer all of our questions, she was just superb. Great job for GuideMe Japan Team for arranging this tour!

We recently had the pleasure of touring Kyoto with Jasmine as our private guide, and she made the experience truly unforgettable. Her knowledge of the city and its rich history was exceptional, and she tailored the tour perfectly to meet our family’s needs. Jasmine's attentiveness was remarkable, especially when it came to our daughter, who sometimes feels overwhelmed by crowds. She thoughtfully guided us to quiet, hidden spots where we could take a break and regroup, showing genuine care throughout the day. She was patient and accommodating as we shopped and explored, and her knack for finding the best scenic spots for photos was a wonderful bonus. Jasmine’s kindness and dedication left us hoping for another chance to tour with her when we return to Japan. Definitely deserving of more than 5 stars!
