Miki was such a warm and friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She was patient with us as we stopped to shop and still managed to keep us on schedule for our tour. I would highly recommend booking with her!

Miki was so friendly and a joy to tour Kyoto with! She was a great tour guide. I gave her a wishlist of places that I wanted to visit and she was so accommodating. It was nice to travel around Kyoto with someone who so knowledgeable. I highly recommend Miki to anyone who books with City Unscripted.

MIKI took us to Fushimi Inari and told us all about the history and titbits, then Kennin-Ji temple which was very spiritual. We then cabbed to Nishiki market and had a lovely wander plus lunch of yakitori and wagyu in a little stall. She then left us with directions Nijo-jo Castle which we got into just before 4 and experienced it with little crowds and unhurried. Lovely day. We really loved MIKI.
