Customer Reviews
I highly recommend Tours in Kyoto. Dieter was the most amazing , helpful and knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to make our Kyoto sightseeing special. I can't say enough. We felt so lucky to have him as our tour guide! He showed us so much of Kyoto splendor and knew and explained much of Kyoto's fascinating history !
We had such a wonderful time with Thomas as our tour guide today visiting landmarks in Kyoto. You made the day very fun and memorable. Your knowledge of the area was exceptional. We would recommend you for future tours and to friends! All the best! The Kanaha Ohana.
Our family had an amazing day in Kyoto learning about Japanese culture while sightseeing with Dieter and Thomas from "Tours in Kyoto". We only had one day to visit Kyoto, so it was important that we had the ability to customize our tour to see and do what we had planned. Jonathan was our point of contact and he did an amazing job balancing our sightseeing goals in what amounted to a very short time period (one day isn't enough). On the day of our tour we arrived in Kyoto from Tokyo and were met by Dieter and Thomas at the Shinkansen train station. We spent the day visiting several temples, shrines, had lunch, and did some shopping! Our guides were very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about Japanese culture, history, and traditions! I want to thank Dieter and Thomas for making the tour a true highlight of our family trip to Japan. I highly recommend "Tours in Kyoto", simply a top notch group that will work with you to create a memorable tour of Kyoto and beyond.
