Jasmine was a fantastic guide and clearly knew a lot about Kyoto, the snack stop was great to understand what locals would eat at the supermarket, her understanding of the local temples and customs was fabulous and the Geisha sighting made it all worthwhile.

We had booked a private tour with Vincent to visit the Geisha District popularly known as Gion in Kyoto. I must admit that it was such a wonderful experience as Vincent walked us through the history of the city and how this magnificent art form came out to be an exclusive tradition. I felt very intrigued and fascinated with the many subtleties of the tradition that a casual visitor will miss. The tour was very relaxed in terms of pace and the anecdotes were very interesting that brought out colors in narration of history of the key period of the region. Vincent almost came across like a history professor who could tailor his lecture based on the class size and the depth it wants to explore. As part of the tour we also visited many shrines and temples and learnt many finer points about the culture and beliefs that have been the foundation of very ancient traditions of Shinto and Buddhist heritage. Vincent is very knowledgeable and patiently answered any questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone. 5 stars all the way!
