“ Entertaining and a font of knowledge ”
My wife and I were so happy to have Hiroshi as a guide. We learnt so much. He knew so much detail. We had a really fun day.
“ Highly recommended! ”
Hiroshi was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and made our tour really interesting. He went over and above - and helped us with taking photos and obtaining transport cards and our dietary allergies, and many other pieces of information which made travelling in Japan so much easier. It was a pleasure to spend the day with this wonderful man!
“ Best guide EVER ”
Hiroshi was AMAZING! We have used tour guides all over the world and Hiroshi was our FAVORITE hands down. He gives you the history and is so naturally funny that you laugh all day!
“ Great Guide! ”
Hiro(shi) really knows his town, the sites to see, how to get there efficiently, and everything you want to know about them. We had an amazing day in spite of issues with public transportation. Would definitely recommend using Hiro to give you a tour in Kyoto!
Dear Jack Thank you Jack for your great reviews both on Oct 19and 20 tour in Kyoto.I also had a happy days guiding such a great person who has a deep knowledge and concern about Japanese culture and history and---has a sense of humor as well. Best regards Oct 27 Hiroshi Y.
“ Half day tour with Hiroshi ”
Tour layout and plan: We did our own planning and Hiroshi was very cooperative in the process. English understanding and speaking:3.5/5 Knowledge of culture and history: 4/5 Customer service: I could not spk with Hiroshi because of the useless policy of Tripplelight. Unlike other guide services, you can only contact them thru email, which increases the time to deliver and receive messages very long. Overall rating:5/5
Dear Jehanzeb Thank you Jehanzeb for your compliment on Oct 11 half a day tour in Kyoto. I was impressed with your understanding of Japanese culture and religion,esp Buddhism and Shintoism. Best regards Oct 27 Hiroshi Y.
