Jake was an amazing guide! He kept in touch with us a couple weeks before our tour and offered to make dinner reservations for us and gave many helpful suggestions to make our stay in Kyoto memorable. It was nice being able to interact (thru Jake) with the locals and this definitely was an added perk. He was so easy to be with and we enjoyed his company as if he were a good friend rather than just our tour guide. Thank you again for a great day!

Jake knew his stuff, where to go, what to eat, how to order, how to be respectful and most importantly the way to beat a crowd. If you want a taste of the best Kyoto has to offer, (with the south west charm only an Utah gent) can offer, Jake is the guide for you.
