My reviews

    Hello, my husband and I went to Kyoto and we had a spectacular guide, his name is Toshi. I highly recommend that if you can choose him, do so. He made our day the best. He took us to many places and gave us detailed explanations of each place. In the end, my husband and I decided to make an Orgel music box and he was with us throughout the entire process.

    Our Kyoto tour with Toshi and City Unscripted was fantastic! My 11-year-old son and I had a blast. The itinerary was packed, but Toshi managed the timing perfectly, getting us to Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Temple!), Arashiyama, and Nishiki Market all before our finish time. Toshi was an excellent guide – friendly, professional, and super patient, especially with my son. He really made the tour special for him. The bamboo forest in Arashiyama was a definite highlight, and my son was mesmerized by the Golden Temple. We highly recommend Toshi and City Unscripted for a fun and memorable Kyoto experience! Five stars!
