Don was an excellent tour guide! He sent us a text soon after booking asking about our preferences on what we wanted to see and what we wanted to eat (along with asking about allergies/food preferences/if we wanted his recommendations). We chose to view the major historical parts of Kyoto, and he tailored his guided tour towards that! He even offered to meet us at a place of our choosing.
We spent all day in Kyoto and he offered some history on the things we were seeing, he helped us navigate Kyoto through the subway/buses, and he guided us to a traditional ramen/udon shop to eat lunch! He also took pictures of our group for us!
10/10, would recommend.
