Adria san was awesome. We literally did everything in Kyoto, from walking to various sites, taking the train, riding the bus...it was neat to discover different sites the local way. He took us to areas were there was not a lot of people, which was nice. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and wanted to make sure we could see as much as we can.

Honestly, it is hard to do a walking tour of the entire city of Kyoto in just 1 day. I wish we had broken it up in 2 days as I think it would give us a better experience. We will keep this in mind the next time. Doing a private tour is the way to go. I love the personal interaction we had with Adria and getting his perspective not being from Japan. Thank you Adria san for taking us around, we really had a lot of fun with you. Hope to see you again.

I highly highly highly recommend Kyoto Daily Tours, specifically Mr. Tadashi (Tad). We were very lucky to have Tad as our tour guide for the day in Kyoto. He is very knowledgeable about every site that we went to. He was also very kind and patient with my three little children! He also knew the best place to have lunch, an authentic Japanese cuisine location with a beautiful garden and delicious food. It was soooo good, that My five year old and nine year old wanted to go back to the restaurant for dinner! Tad took pictures of us at all the good spots that captured rhe beauty of each site and took video clips of us there, and at the end, he created a beautiful video of us and our tour ❤️ 😀. The tour was worth every single yen 💴 ❤️. I decided last minute to surprise my husband to a day tour of Kyoto for Father's day and made a request at 2am. By 7am I received a call and message that they had an available guide for us. Shortly after, I received an email from Tad. He is an amazing tour guide and a beautiful person as a whole. My kids love Tad and ask about him everyday we were in Japan. I wish we could've had an extra day with him to explore more of Kyoto, but he had an arrangement already for the next day. If you plan on visiting Kyoto, I highly recommend Kyoto Daily Tours, specifically Tad, to take you on the tours, and do 2 days with him! We love Tad!!! Thank you so much for teaching us about Kyoto, giving us inside scoops of each site, even showing us a hidden bamboo Forrest! Doomo arrigato gozaimasu, Tad!!!
Tad is so very passionate about what he does and this is hard to find nowadays. It was very touching that we were able to learn so much from Tad about Kyoto and each historic site we went to. We have a deeper appreciation and love for Kyoto and it has become our favorite place out of all the places we have been to in Japan. Big love to Kyoto Daily Tours for your wonderful service and people!

Our tour guide, Jose David Santoir, taught us so much about Kyoto!! There were 6 of us and we were able to experience more than I thought we could in a day. We used the metro to go to the sites.
Jose took us to the popular sites that we had requested and the quiet sites we did not know about-my favorite was the gardens!
We did a lot of walking and saw more in this one day that we saw our full trip!
Highly recommend this tour and Jose!

Peter was great, showing us around which we could have never managed on our own in one day. He told us its history and background at six different places, and it was very informative. We are senior citizen and were very glad to have a private guide taking us around on our own pace. It felt as if we had a friend taking us around. Strongly recommend!

Jose David, our guide, immediately made what could have felt overwhelming into a wonderful experience. He took our pace in stride and showed us Kyoto’s amazing temples, shrines and gates. He knows the Japanese history very well and answered all of our questions. He showed us and explained to us the detail of Japanese culture we would have missed on our own. He’s a must for a very enjoyable day! A memory worth the value!

Jose made an impression right away picking us up in our hotel lobby. He went beyond showing us Kyoto’s amazing Shrines, Temples and Gates. He knows his history and was eager to share his knowledge answering all our questions. We feel like we made a unique friend today! Thank you

Jose was an amazing guide as he took us on our journey through the beautiful city of Kyoto. Highlights include kinkakuji, eating at local Japanese pancake restaurant, and walking through pontocho alley. We were able to see quite a bit as he quickly navigated us through the Tran and bus system. Would highly recommend!
