“ A wonderful day in Kyoto ”

We had an absolutely lovely day with Hiroshi. We had given him an overview of what we had hoped to see in Kyoto, and Hiroshi absolutely exceeded our expectations. Hiroshi not only took us to the places we wanted to see but explained in great detail about the particular place. We have 2 children and Hiroshi, kept them entertained and amused all day. Hiroshi was willing and very accommodating to assist us in our needs and even make changes if necessary to accommodate our children. I would highly recommend Hiroshi, especially if you are travelling with children.

Hiroshi:

Dear Marianne Thank you, Marianne for your heartfelt reviews on Oct 1 one day tour in Kyoto. I had a really enjoyable day with you and your family. I was so amazed to hear that when I gave a question in terms of the Kannon buddha statue at Sanjyu-sangendo temple such as ' What do the Buddha statues are made of ? ' to all of you, your youngest daughter replied on the spot ' It's made of timber ! ' what a great imagination she has ! I always feel happy when my guests show us great interest and concern of Japanese culture and history. Best regards Hiroshi.Y.

“ Hiroshi?a great guide! ”

We a had a fun day with Hiroshi! He picked us up at our hotel promptly and showed us Kyoto for the day. He had a well planned route that used subway, taxis and train. He is a retired teacher who speaks English well and engages you so understand “why” things happen. He is very energetic and he brought along his camera to photograph us at various spots during the day, he is to email us the photos. We were sorry to have to end our day, but had a train to catch to return to our ship, so tiredly we left Kyoto.and Hiroshi, wishing we had more time to spend there.

“ Hiro is a very nice man who was very punctual ”

Hiro Had some challenges because we did not get off the ship until late in the afternoon and we had limited daytime available. He did what he could to show us some of the highlights, but again I think we would’ve had better success if more daylight was available. I will say that he walks very fast, but I think he was trying to show us as much as he could within the limited time that we had. He was very kind and even nice enough to get us some delicious chocolate. His English skills are pretty good, not perfect, but we did not expect that. I thought that his prices were fair. He is a gentleman and it was a pleasure to meet him. I enjoyed seeing what we could of Kyoto and I appreciated his expertise and kindness.
