My reviews

My wife, I and 4 month old baby were in Kyoto and we did a private tour of Gion with Kenya. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough and we enjoyed the tour very much. He also had the answer to everything we asked in respect of Kyoto and Gion, related or not to the tour. Our baby held the start of the tour up with a poonami but Kenya was happy to move the timing back for us. Would certainly recommend him and this tour to everyone.

We were very happy with our guide, Kenya. He was knowledgeable and proactive. In addition to sharing information about the sites we visited, he was also very generous, answering a lot of questions about life in Kyoto.
