I had such a great time on this private tour with Taki-san. Everything was super relaxed and at my own pace, which was perfect. At each stop, we took time to enjoy the views, explore the area, take photos, and try some small snacks. He took me through hidden alleys and really beautiful local spots I would’ve never found by myself. It was perfect for photos, and he also helped take a lot of really nice ones for me during the tour. Overall, it was a super chill and enjoyable experience—definitely recommend!
Hi, Van-san! Thank you for joining our tour! We appreciate for your review! I hope you enjoyed new journey with us😆Have a safe trip and see you next year👍
Our family of 5 (with kids ages 13, 11, and 9) had a wonderful morning with Taki! He spoke perfect English and was easy to talk to from the moment I booked our tour. I requested he take us to Kinkaku-ji, and after that he took us to a shrine and traditional snack shop that we never would have found on our own. We were the only foreigners there (in the middle of cherry blossom season no less!) - what a hidden gem! The icing on the cake was that he took amazing photos of our family with his professional camera the entire time, and sent them over to us right away. I highly recommend taking this tour and having a great time with Taki!
Hi Ashley family!! It was so nice meeting you all. You were the very first guests on this tour, and I truly feel lucky to have shared this special experience with you. Thank you for allowing me to capture your moments in Kyoto. I’d love to use some of your photos on my Viator page if that’s okay with you. I hope these photos will always remind you of your time here. I’ll never forget you, and I hope to see you again someday in Kyoto! ありがとうございます😊
