The service was great to have guides set up and things to suggest on the days we didn't have anything planned or places to be. We really enjoyed the local guides as they were all very knowledgeable on the areas we were wandering around. Would highly recommend using the Kim Kim service as they have local knowledge and can build an itinerary to what you like to do and see. Look forward to using Kim Kim in the future as it takes a lot of guess work out of what to do and where to stay as there are so many options of where to stay and they helped out making it spots that were easily walkable, nice hotels, and quiet. But they can help build a trip depending on your budget and what you would like to get up to while traveling.

Terry our guide was so good. The full day spent venturing went by so fast. We learned so much about Kyoto.

This was a life saver, as if you are coming from a city with no transport, getting on the train system in Japan may seem over whelming, but having a guide help you get the basics and rhythm of how it works is worth it.
