Excellent introduction to so many elements of this city's history. We learned about the emperors and shoguns who lived and ruled from Kyoto during the time it was the capital of the region and nation. The walking tour enabled us to see close up historic structures, visit inside temples and contemplate shrines. Our guide was excellent at sharing the area's history, pacing our advance to unique places and answering questions. By the end of the walking tour we had visited three very separate regions of the city, connecting by taxi and by foot. So glad we signed up for this.

Mia was an excellent tour guide. Very friendly and patient with her tour mates. Highly recommended to go around the town

Mia was amazing. I am not normally one to want to go on tours of old religious sites when I am on vacation. But I thought I should give it a try since this may be the only time I ever go to Kyoto. Well, I am so happy I went on this tour with Mia. Mia made these ancient sites come to life. Her insights into Japanese history and culture were fascinating. She also brought us to a hole-in-the-way Ramen place for lunch in the middle of the tour, which was the best food we had in Japan! Overall, I found that Mia made this a profoundly moving travel experience, one which I will never forget.

Mia was an amazing tour guide. I’m actually not normally very excited to walk around old religious sites. But Mia made all of places just come to life. She offered fascinating insights into Japanese history and culture. I was emotionally moved by my time at these sites with her. She also took us to a great ramen place - it was the best meal we had during our time in Joan! I cannot recommend Mia more highly. She gave us such an amazing travel experience, one which I will never forget.
