The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

Signed up for the 3:30 PM "middle" tour. Would have been cool to do the evening tour to see the city lit up at night, but we had dinner plans. The "danger" with the mid-afternoon tour is that if it were hot/humid/sunny, it'd be pretty miserable in the costume. That being said, we had overcast skies with comfortable temps, so we both costumed up in Donald and Daisy Duck like costumes. Obtained our driver's license thru AAA in the US. (Just be sure to bring it! - we left ours in our hotel safe and forgot and had to hustle back to the hotel) Quick video and model tutorial then hands on tutorial with the cart. We felt safe the entire time. No need to take pictures as both guides take videos and photos throughout and post them later. Even stopped at Dotonburi to get out of the cart and take pictures at the sign. Even though these tours are daily they still turn heads from on-lookers/pedestrians.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
