Makoon was an exceptional tour guide and gave us one of our favorite days ever in Kyoto! To start, he is extremely communicative and tailors to tour to your interests. He reached out with the proposed itinerary weeks before and send a reminder about everything we’d need a few days before our tour. The day was spectacular, we saw the Kiyomizu-dera before the crowds and spent the afternoon walking through Ginza. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area, and when we started asking questions about health insurance, family size, and the average diet, Makoon had PowerPoint slides about all these topics ready to go! The pace of the whole day was great, and it felt like the perfect introduction to our time in Japan. Makoon is a wonderful and special person, and we will 100% be seeing him again when we visit next time.
