Our recent visit to Kyoto with PIQTour was truly unforgettable, despite experiencing a heavy rainstorm.
Abigail, our guide, demonstrated exceptional professional photography skills, capturing stunning photos even in the challenging weather. Her knowledge of Japanese culture and historical sites like Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu Dera enriched our experience immensely.
The typhoon-like conditions could not dampen our spirits or the beauty of the memories we created. Abigail's expertise and warm demeanor made this tour a standout highlight of our Japan trip, and the wonderful photographs are a testament to her talent and dedication.
We highly recommend this unique experience!

We spent a few hours with Abigail in Kyoto recently for a photo package. In our group of 6 there were two children and a lady with a medical condition that can have 'challenging' behaviours.
Abigail was on time, took us to some wonderful photo locations within walking distance of the meeting point, and carefully directed the groups locations patiently with the children behaving as children can.
Though it rainded for us on the day the pictures were fantastic and the method of sharing the images was seamless, with a link to click on and download received just a few days after the shoot.
Thanks Abigail!

I had an amazing time taking some really cool photos of the key spots in Kyoto. It's not easy finding places that are less crowded in such a busy city, but my photographer was a real pro at it. She was patient, creative and you could tell that she puts her heart into her work. She always managed to get the perfect shot and was always thinking of ways to make my experience unique. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a great photography experience.

If you are considering booking this and see an open slot, book it first & then read the review!
This was our first trip to Kyoto and I had heard how it got super croweded at popular sites like Fushim Inari & Kiyomizu-Dera. I wanted some good pictures and came across Piqtour's listing while researching here on Tripadvisor.
Abigail was beyond amazing from the start. She was super responsive before we even arrived in Kyoto and once we met, she built rapport quickly with me and my young family. We have a super shy 5 year old and a chatty 8 year old. Abigail managed to entertain both and she captured the biggest smile we've ever seen on our little one's face :)
Not only was she fantasic with kids but she also shared impressive knowledge about the history and traditions related to each site we visited. She came up with question/answer sessions and games which just added so much more to our experience
This is by far the best money I've spent in a while and the the bonus was the fantasitcally editted pictures we recieved in just a few days later. Each one of the picture was amazingly captured and will be a keepsake for years to come.
I would give this experience a 10 out of 5!

Loved our photography - sight seeing tour! Abigail was fun and knowledgeable of local history and culture of tour spots. She recommended we can rent kimonos at the local Kyoto station shops, and it was an experience in and of itself. So fun selecting kimonos, having someone help put it on and getting hair done. My family was dressed and ready for our tour & photography. We stopped along the way for photos, being posed to capture iconic backdrops. Can’t wait to see the pictures, with quick turn around times. We would highly recommend this photography tour to anyone wanting both a tour and pro photos! Abigail is the best! We had a great time.

It was an amazing day with Abigail during a recent photo session in Kyoto. I was travelling with my 11 yo son and he was amazed how easy we spent the day! Abigail was very accommodating to our needs, made a great and interesting tour for us and amazing photos. She also changed a bit the tour to make beautiful photos with Sakura! Thank you for this time!

Our photographer, Aby, was very accommodating. All her picture shots were very nice and we really love them. We are very happy with the outcome and for sure we will refer her to our friends who will be visiting Kyoto.
