The samurai class was amazing and the instructor was very interactive. He had a great sense of humour as well. Unfortunately when I was at the class, my wife and two daughters (12 & 6 years) had an awful experience just outside at the reception area. They were waiting for me to finish my class and my daughter wanted water to drink. One of the staff (a pregnant lady) was very rude and even turned off the water - in a country where even tap water is considered safe, its hard to believe someone refusing water, that too to children. My wife left with the kids and they spent their time at a cafe upstairs. I am appalled that someone could be this way about water and that’s why I wrote this review.

Enjoyed seeing the night view of the Gion District, the Yasaka Pagoda and seeing the night life area of Kiyamachi. Julian gave us a good insight into various aspects of the Geisha Lifestyle and also about the surrounding areas including some nice snacks and Dinner. It was a pretty good experience .

Maha our tour was amazing & well versed with Kyoto area & took us to the best place that are less crowded. She was also very kind, care & mindful of our 5 month baby. Definitely made our trip amazing in our 1-day tour in Kyoto. thanks again for amazing experience

I would highly recommend this company. It’s very personalized and you feel like a friend is with you just having fun. Mardi is a great guide. She’s so helpful, easy-going, smart, and flexible.

Toan was very knowledgeable. He was very patient and we had a great time hiking to the top of the Fushimi Iñári Shrine, the Higashi Honganji Temple and walking around the Nishi Market.
