Ray is very knowledgeable and created a really off the beaten path tour for us, taking us to a shrine and a temple, on top of beautiful views of the outskirts of Kyoto! He also got a true talent for finding the best spots for pictures, that he took for us and sent to us right after the tour. Amazing! Can highly recommend.”
