Rhea Sarah gave us a wonderful introduction to Kyoto. The communication before our arrival was excellent and she tailored our tour to our interests and other planned activities. We really appreciated her insider recommendations on places to eat and shop, as well as the insights she shared on Kyoto history and culture.

Great tour. My guide Reah Sarah spent two hours showing Austin & me around Kyoto. Her knowledge & experience of the area made the tour very enjoyable. We spent the two hours walking a very comfortable pace. We went inside a few shops she recommended and purchased a few items. Highly recommend this tour. AAAAAA++++++++ Thanks Reah
