Kyoto Japanese Gardens Private Tour with Licensed Guide

A Wonderful and Memorable Day in Kyoto with Olive

We had a wonderful day in Kyoto with Olive. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and personal. We visited the Golden Pavilion, the Bamboo Grove, and the beautiful Kimono Forest, and Olive helped us enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. She also introduced us to delicious local food, including okonomiyaki and yakisoba, which made the day even more memorable. We did a lot of walking, but Olive was thoughtful throughout and made sure we were comfortable. Her kindness and genuine care stood out. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and would gladly recommend Olive and Japan Guide Agency to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you for helping make our visit so special.

Memorable day with Tom

Our guide, Tom, went above and beyond to create a special experience for us. We appreciated his knowledge of history and culture, as well as his meaningful connections to the local people. He is a true ambassador for Japan! We will cherish the memories and photos (taken by Tom, who is also a fantastic photographer)!

Kyoto Private Family Tour from Kobe Port

The entire experience with Japan Awaits was extremely organized and professional. Absolutely zero hiccups along the way. Although the tour guide, Takeshi, was essentially just a chaperone (little to no explanation of the sites seen), he and the driver were very cordial and accommodating. We would absolutely book them again for another tour. Thank you for the great memories.
