Shohei was a great driver (10/10 parking skills in challenging tight spaces, lol). It was wonderful to be able to hit so many destinations in one day with a private guide. It was super hot when we went, so it was also great to be able to have A/C breaks in the car between sites. Shohei was also graciously accommodating of making several stops to look at ceramic shops since we finished our tour a bit early. Thank you Shohei - we had a terrific day with you!

Our day with Shohei was amazing! Kyoto is very busy and having someone help guide us around, tell us about the sights and just know where to go was invaluable. As someone else mentioned he took us right up to the bamboo forest and knew all the best spots for views and photo ops. Highly recommend!!

So much to say here but the experience was EXACTLY why I get private guides when I travel. First, Shohei was perfectly on time, very polite, helpful (holding umbrellas for pictures, taking out photos, etc.), and adaptable on the fly. We finished some sights faster than expected and were able to add a couple of bonus stops on the tour. One example of how much nicer it was to be guided was at Bamboo Forest where he parked right at the entrance to the best part. While this is a really nice spot to see, it only takes 20 minutes or so to get your fill. So we took it in and were right back in his perfectly clean, comfortable, air conditioned van. He also took us to lunch and the market and it was a pleasure to eat the local food with him and learn more as we talked. Clearly one could see these sites without a guide, but one could never do it as comfortably and as efficiently as we did with him. Worth every penny. Highly recommend. Booking and communication were also PERFECT.
