Fauzi helped us get to Kyoto by bullet train and helped us get back to the correct train. Without his assistance we would never have been able to navigate the train system. Just a lovely day!! Thank you.

We loved the tour around Kyoto, and we were amazed at how much information Mike had about the area. We not only got to see the surrounding area, but also were introduced to a little bit of its history.
