A good tour with a very nice guide - The tour to the golden pavilion and the Kyoto residence of the Shogun during the Edo-period was very interesting and the best part of the tour. They were both very beautifully. I especially appreciated that they had preserved the forest covered hills behand the pavilion that made the pavilion to really stand out. And I liked the animals that were painted on the walls of the shogun reception rooms. The was quite nice, even if it was obvious that the artist had never seen tigress and leopards. We real appreciated our guide Yoshida. She was knowledgeful and very nice. Especially how she took care my wife, then she got a little tiered in the heat stands out. We liked her a lot.

Amazing Guide in Osaka and Kyoto!!! - Just returned from a 3 week trip to Japan and I already want to return! We had a large 20 person family trip planned starting and ending in Tokyo. We had a 12 day cruise booked to get around Japan since it was easier to travel that way with 2 wheelchair users and several elderly travelers. Because we had some unique circumstances, we booked our own private excursions at each port. Based on the reviews online, I went with Omakase since they had some experience with travelers with limited mobility. And they did not disappoint!! But my favorite guide throughout our whole trip was MIYO. If you’re going to Osaka and Kyoto, see if you can get a tour with her!!! She is the sweetest, warmest and most accommodating person!! She really listens to your requests and your needs as a traveler and goes above and beyond! Several of my family members bonded with Miyo (including me!) and we could not have had a better time in Osaka and Kyoto with her. She really is a wonderful guide and helped to make our trip to Japan an unforgettable one!!! Thank you!!!

Kyoto Cultural Tour. - Yuki designed a fascinating introduction to Japanese history and culture. We visited the Yasaka Shrine & geisha district, the amazing Kennin-ji Temple with its dragon - painted ceiling and dramatic Tori gates of the Fukukayasabunouc Shrine. Yuki spoke excellent English and this provided a much better understanding of the sites we visited. We highly recommend this tour with Yuki!
