Yuri was wonderful, my husband and I got to see all the highlights of Kyoto. Thanks Yuri for your dedication.
Hello Michelle, Thank you very much for sending me such a generous review. I hope that your family enjoyed the tour in Kyoto. I was happy to be your guide. I really appreciate it if you could come again in near future to visit Japan. All the best, Yuri
We had a very enjoyable day with Yuri who took us to the main sites we wanted to visit - The Golden Temple, Ryoanji Temple (our favourite with Zen temple and rock gardens), walk through the amazing bamboo forest and ending with the Sanjusan-gendo temple with the 1001 buddhas. Very manageable on a very hot Kyoto day using buses, trains and taxis. Yuri was very informative and efficient. Would highly recommend.
Dear Carole, Thank you for your kind review. I had a very pleasant time, guiding and talking with you and your family. I hope you enjoy the tour to Naoshima. Thank you again. Yuri
A great day with Yuri. It was a hot day but she managed the day well. Kept us well informed about what we were seeing and little stories along the way. Thanks Yuri.
Dear Martin, I really appreciate your positive review. It was surely my pleasure to served you all as a guide. Thank you so much again. Regards, Yuri
Yuri met us right at osaka pier and took us by train to Kyoto which of course saved us a ton of time. We packed a lot into our tour and surprisingly she got it all done. We even had a mid tour change of plans which she accommodated. She definitely kept the pace going. Good English, knowledgeable and caring. You cannot go wrong hiring Yuri as your guide.
