Reviews

“We had a great time on our tour. Sunny, our guide, was very helpful and accommodating. He suggested an excellent restaurant for lunch, too. We were able to see so much in one day! Highly recommend.”

“This was a private tour of Kyoto. Our guide Narayan was excellent. Since we’re Indian and he’s Nepalese, communication was very easy and we connected well. He took great care of us.”

“Isuru was a brilliant host. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He made the day enjoyable and stress-free. We loved every moment. Highly recommend this tour.”
