We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tadashi on our two day private tours of Kyoto and Nara! He was an exceptional guide who made both days memorable, enjoyable, and truly personalized to our interests. Tadashi has an incredible knowledge of Japanese history, local culture, traditions, and customs. What we especially appreciated was that the tours never felt rushed or like a standard tourist itinerary. He took the time to personalize each tour for us, showing us beautiful local shrines, fascinating attractions, and special places that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Kyoto and Nara. He was also extremely organized and punctual. Everything ran smoothly and we always knew where we were going and what to expect, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience. And perhaps best of all, Tadashi is a genuinely funny guy! His jokes and great sense of humor kept us laughing throughout both tours and made the experience feel more like spending the day with a friend than simply having a tour guide.
