My reviews

The half day tour of Kyoto with Kenya was one of the best experiences that I had while in Japan. He was so knowledgeable about each place that we visited, answered all of our questions and even surprised me and my brother with a special treat for our shared birthday. It was so nice and thoughtful of him. I will never forget it! Thank you Kenya!
