Our half day tour with Makoon was so enlightening, fun and interesting. I’ve been on many tours in many countries, and he is a top notch guide. He consulted with us ahead of time about our interests, and created an experience that balanced history, architecture, and beauty. We saw sights that most tourists miss. Makoon also told us about life in modern Kyoto. He kindly gave us recommendations for restaurants and additional sightseeing. I highly recommend Makoon.
