Marc was a fantastic guide - he was very knowledgeable and insightful, and took the time to get to know us throughout the day. He gave us a deeper understanding of Kyoto and Japanese culture as a whole. The lunch was incredible as well - one of the best on our trip to Japan. Marc also gave us dinner recommendations which were a hit! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto - it was a highlight of our trip.

We had Marcin take us around Kyoto for 8 hours and it was fantastic! We visited the golden temple Kinkaku-ji, the Kiyomizudera temple, a zen temple, bamboo forest, and had dessert at a matcha green tea dessert cafe Gion Katagawahanbee. WOW! We would not have know what the historical or cultural significance of what we were visiting without Marcin. He was knowledgeable, informative, and my teenage daughters had so much fun. Because of this tour and Marcin, we will be back in Kyoto to visit some more historical sites and enjoy the city and people again. Thank you Marcin!

Marc was one of the best tour guides I've ever had. You can tell he is really passionate about teaching others about the culture and history of Kyoto. Also he catered to our interests; he didn't just give a cookie-cutter tour. I wish I had more days to pick his brain about different things. Perhaps I'll be back one day and hopefully can go on one of his other tours. Context guides in general are very knowledgeable and vet their guides very well. I would not choose any other company.
