Absolutely recommend! Personalised & well organised - We had such a great day exploring Kyoto with our guide Sachiyo. We had the opportunity to see lots of different places and also experience different modes of transport such as train, subway and bus. Everything was so well organised. I am vegetarian and they had already arranged four vegetarian friendly lunch options for us to choose from. We are doing another tour with Sachiyo when we are in Osaka! Sachiyo also took so many wonderful photos for us which was so kind. Thank you & would definitely recommend!

Kyoto - Sachi was just amazing, we had an absolutely wonderful day with her. She knew everything about where we were, she knew answers to questions we had and she had so much fun with us and showed us so much in so little time. We would love to come back and would love for Sachi to be the guide again!

Fun Time in Arashiyama: Sagano Romantic Train Upstream and Hozugawa River Boat Ride Downstream - My 76-year-old mother and I had a wonderful time with our tour guide Megumi. We went to Arashiyama to see autumn leaves. We took the Sagano Romantic Train. The views outside were stunning. After that, we joined the Hozugawa River Boat Ride. We enjoyed this very much. We saw different types of birds and trees, and rocks of animal shapes. The meandering course of the river plus occasional rapids just added some excitements to the ride. The skillful steering and oar control of the boating team were also fun to watch. I highly recommend this route as it’s more than just sightseeing. It was an adventure! Many thanks to Megumi who chose this option for us. This was the second time I've had Megumi as our tour guide. She was very nice, thoughtful and also knowledgeable. Overall, this is a memorable trip for us.
