Our guide Ayumi was just wonderful. Not only was she the most delightful lady who spoke fluent English, her local knowledge of Kyoto was second to none. The content of our tour was superb and enlightening. She made our day in Kyoto so memorable and special that I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
We spent a day and a half with Ayumi seeing so many beautiful and significant sights in Kyoto. From the moment we first met her at the Kobe port to the moment we parted in Kyoto we knew we were most fortunate to be with her. She speaks English perfectly, knows everything about Kyoto from the history to the religion to the culture to the transportation system. We enjoyed a delicious lunch with her and learned how to use the trains and vending machines. Most importantly, Ayumi is a sincere and proud Kyoto native who is a joy to be with all day. Grab her if you can!
Ayumi was absolutely charming. She met us in Kobe as we exited our ship and facilitated our use of the Japanese transportation system as we traveled to and from and around Kyoto. We visited the Imperial Palace and Nijo-jo Castle while there. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating as we spent our time with her. We would definitely recommend Ayumi as a guide. It was emotional to leave her as she smiled and waved goodby to us.
Ayumi was great and was very easy to communicate with in setting up the itinerary. Great tour of Kyoto. We highly recommend touring with Ayumi. In addition to Kyoto, Ayumi was very helpful in orienting us to the bullet train. Our first experience wothh the bullet train., After the tour, Ayumi sent us a detailed summary of our day's activities which we are enjoying now and will in the future. We highly recommend Ayumi and know she will provide a great tour. Thanks, Ayumi
Ayumi was such a wonderful guide for our group of four in Kyoto. She was so enthusiastic and responsive to our desires and needs, and she led us to amazing parts of the city we could not have experienced otherwise. Her English is excellent, and she is a delightful person. We highly recommend her.
Ayumi is a wonderful guide. She took us to all the Kyoto highlights. We felt comfortable taking busses, trollies and taxis with her. She adjusted the tour to fit our specific needs. Her English was great and her knowledge of the area was excellent. She was kind and ensured we fully experienced what Kyoto has to offer.
