Experience tomorrow the best of
Kyoto with Withlocals

"Hiroyuki went above and beyond to make our tour wonderful. I would use him again in a minute and recommend him to everyone."

"Hiro was a wonderful host. He filled the full 3 hours and I was thoroughly impressed. Friendly, knowledgeable. There’s really not much more I could ask for. He treated us to a sake tasting at the end to see how it compared to the sake we had a day before. The spot was SUPER local and I would have never found it by myself. At the end he recommended a great local spot for our dinner and it did not disappoint."

"Hiro was a fantastic guide! We happened to visit Nara during the biggest festival of the year. Hiro took us on a walking tour through the major sites, explained the history, and we also caught the parade. Nara has a charming, small town feel to it. Hiro was fantastic with my three kids and very accommodating, helping us store our luggage as we dropped in for a day trip. Certainly one of the top highlights of our trip; we full-heartedly recommend Hiro's tour."

"Ted (Yoshihiro) was amazingly knowledgeable and and friendly. We had such a great time learning about Geiko and Maiko. He took us to such beautiful spots and we learned so much from him. We definitely enjoyed the whole tour."

"This tour is so incredibly thought out and intentional! From the place we met up with Ted til the very last second we were given amazing history and stories of the city. Ted took all the best photos of us and really taught us so much! Highly recommend Ted! Wish we could’ve had him for every place we visited as he really added to our experience! Thank you thank you!!"

"Guia was super friendly and adapted iur tiur to our requirements. She helped us gind a vegan ramen cafe for a delicious lunch and orivided further recommendations for the rwst of the trip. Eould mot hesitate to use her again. "

"Our party of 4 had 2 day tour with Ted-San. He tailored the tour to our request but put a very unique twist by choosing wonderful sites that were not only beautiful but uncrowded. We were also able to see the Golden Pavilion without the usual hordes of tourists, a lucky opportunity! We had 2 delicious lunches recommended by our very professional driver from the M2 car service. We would not have experienced or understood Kyoto’s history without Ted’s incredible knowledge. I would highly recommend Ted-San to anyone considering a trip to beautiful, historic Kyoto."

"The time with our guide was just great and fantastic. We felt from the first minute well and interesting informed Ahmed was flexible and warmheard friendly The places he show us had been just brillant My sons & myself enjoyed the experience so much 🫶 "

"This tour was amazing! It is still the highlight of my stay in Japan. Ted is a great guy and full of stories, he knew all the spots to take stunning pictures. Overall he was good prepared and we had an amazing afternoon. 10/10 would recommend. "

"Our family of 4 (with 2 teenage girls) fully enjoyed our tour with Guia. Her English is perfect and easy to understand. This was the first tour we took on this trip and it was great to get the local information on the culture and the meanings of the temples. Guia was flexible with the tour and seemed to readily adapt the tour for what was best for our family. Our girls were fully engaged in what she had to tell us. She also recommended places to eat, where to shop and what to expect to pay. Overall I would highly recommend a tour with Guia."
