Kyoto Must-See Places - Private Tour

Lamine was a great guide and gave us great insight to the history of Kyoto. Even though the weather did not cooperate, we had a great time.

It was our first day in Japan and Lamine did a great job of making sure we saw the highlights at a pace that worked for us. We covered a lot in the day and Lamine shared information on his experiences as well as tips for the rest of our time in Japan. It was a very fun and enjoyable day!

Lamine is an incredible guide from our initial contact through a perfectly planned and executed day in Kyoto. He took us to amazing sights, the best of the bunch, an amazing lunch, and even some fabulous, targeted shopping spots. Knowledgeable, friendly, exceptional command of English, French and Japanese. we would highly recommend Lamine. He’s fabulous!

Lamine was amazing! My husband and adult daughter and her boyfriend all enjoyed him so much. We had a private driver and a beautiful van that took us to many highlights of Kyoto! Lamine was friendly, funny and full of information. We learned so much and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I recommend Lamine to anyone new to Kyoto that wants to see as much as possible in a short period of time and get the layout of the city. Additionally 2 days later we WhatsApped Lamine to ask him where to watch the Japan team play in the Wordl Cup and he quickly responded with a few bar recommendations which we used to see Japan beat Tunisia! Thank you Lamine!

Lamine was an incredibly thoughtful, energetic, and knowledgeable tour guide. My parents are over 80 years old and my dad has significant mobility concerns. Lamine took such good care of them, including renting an electronic wheelchair. Lamine’s English is also impeccable and easily understood by all ages. He also helped us make reservations for dinner the following night, even though our tour ended the prior day. I would not hesitate to book with him in the future!

Lamine was waiting for us at the station and was a wonderful guide, and we enjoyed the private car arrangement and helpful driver Kazuma. We got to see many more places than would be practical by public transport. The weather was wet so again the car was a nice respite from that. Lamine selected a great place to stop in the market for a delicious tempura meal. Lamine told us much of the history of the places we visited and answered all our (many) questions. Lamine also provided some helpful suggestions for our following day in Osaka too. Highly recommended!!
