Beck provided us with a lovely walk through old Kyoto / gion. He was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. We learned about religion, history and architecture. My boys had a blast talking to him about Japanese culture. High recommend.
Thank you for joining us tonight! It was a pleasure meeting you and your boys. I loved seeing their enthusiasm for Japan and anime, and I enjoyed sharing Kyoto's history and culture with your family. I was also impressed by how supportive you are as a parent, bringing them to Japan as a reward for their hard work and excellent grades. I hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your time in Japan and create many wonderful memories together! Beck

It was a wonderful experience for walking tour, Masa has been of great help, he is very knowledgeable and took us to all the best places We had a wonderful tour, he is a pure soul and went extra mile to take us to best photo shoot places during the visit.
Hero is an awesome guide! I was full of curiosity, and he had answers to every question. He had insider knowledge not just about the beautiful sights of Kyoto, but about local customs. He is a genuinely warm person who makes the tour feel like you're seeing a friend's hometown. I will definitely book another tour with him in our future Japan travels.
