Great tour experience with Paul! From the beautiful but crowded of Kinkakuji to the peace and serenity of Ninna-ji, we had a wonderful time learning from our guide Paul. He was very knowledgeable and it was great to learn about some of the history of the places we were visiting.

Machiko was an excellent and kind guide who shared a wealth of interesting information throughout the tour. She allowed us to set the pace, which made the experience very comfortable, and she continuously enriched the walk with explanations while also answering our questions along the way. Having her accompany us made the tour especially engaging and truly memorable.

Takashi was our guide and he was great. Very knowledgable, friendly, and a wonderful picture taker. He even had flyers to take home with us about the history of the temples. The tour was awesome. I would highly recommend it for people visiting Kyoto for the first time. The park was beautiful. The cherry trees were ready to pop. Wish we could see them in full bloom.

5 Stars! It cannot be less. It was a wonderful tour. Our guide was just perfect: kind, passionate, well prepared, wel informed and with great English speaking skills. You could feel she is a professional. I happened to be in Golden Pavilion before but still there were many things I discoverd thanks to the tour. But the best part for me was Ninnaji. I had never been there before, and it turned out to be very beautiful and interesting place. Meeting and speaking with the monk was unusual experience, and entering usually closed buildings was something I will definitely remember. Thank you!
