Best of Kyoto

Kazuhiko was a fabulous guide that managed to guide us to four sites in eight hours. Navigating public transit was a breeze with his leadership, and I felt like I was really a local. He is knowledgeable and very happy to take our photos. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a whirlwind tour of the most important sites in Kyoto.
