    Cici is an outstanding Kyoto guide for English-speaking visitors to the historic city. She picked us up at our designated starting point and we headed off on our adventure. She helped us navigate Kyoto's public transportation to get to all our destinations. She had a plan for us on the sights to see, but we asked about a few others that we wanted to add and she quickly put together an itinerary that worked great. She's a really friendly, pleasant person to spend time with and I could not recommend her more highly. She really helped make our trip to Kyoto special.

    Kyoto was incredible, and having Nisa as our guide made the day even more special! She knew all the best spots and shared so much about the history and culture that it really brought the city to life. Her pacing was perfect—relaxed but still full of adventure—and she made sure everything felt effortless for us. What I loved most was how Nisa’s passion for Kyoto shone through in every part of the day. She made the experience fun, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Kyoto, Nisa is the guide you want by your side!
