We absolutely loved our 5 hour tour with Kenya. He's so smart, well studied in history and great at English. He wove our desires to see & learn about specific famous parts of the city with some "hidden treasures". He brought us to several food and drink spots where the locals go. He knows so much about the history of Kyoto, the area and Japan as well as current affairs. We loved our time with him!
