Fumiko was an amazing tour guide! we utilized her services to be picked up at the port of Osaka (cruise ship) and then train to Kyoto. Once in Kyoto she gave us an amazing and informative tour. We had decided to end the tour in Kyoto so we could experience dinner at Lurra (but that's another review!!). She gave us detailed instructions for us return to Osaka via the train after the later that night. She helped us navigate the trains using what's app after the tour was completed. If we are ever in Osaka or Kyoto again we would definitely get on her schedule!! Thank you Fumiko for an amazing day!!

A full and very interesting day with Khalid; very empathic of our needs (old / infirm and with a wheelchair). The day was tailored to our interests and all the experiences and sites were uniquely Japenese. Despite it being a fiercely hot day, we covered alot of both urban and rural Kyoto. Khalid was a super guide, organised and caring; good english and good local knowledge; I would have no resevation in recommending him as a guide for this tour.
