I recommend the tour to anyone who wants to take a break from the city pace and immerse themselves in a spectacular corner of nature.
Graziella made the experience even more successful thanks to her sparkling and engaging friendliness and passion. A thank you to her for the dedication and professionalism shown to us, which certainly went beyond normal standards. Best wishes for a good life and an affectionate hug to her... a girl from our south.

Relaxing tour in nature around Kyoto. Also feasible with a stroller with large wheels, although in some places it must be carried on your shoulder.
Second tour with Graziella! I couldn't have asked for anything better! A nature tour with lots of useful and always new info: you can't find everything on social media! Every break is always an interesting conversation!
Translated
A very pleasant, relaxing and interesting experience.
As I mentioned in my other review, Massimiliano was truly outstanding: incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to explain everything with great clarity. His way of sharing information was engaging and easy to follow.
We did our second excursion accompanied again by the guides Teresa and Graziella, both were great!

Great! we visited popular places but also hidden locations.
Graziella is very friendly, positive and she answered to all my questions.
Fantastic experience that enriches culture.
Serious, prepared and patient person.
the bamboo forest and the temple was awesome. The Arashiyama district is very peaceful and sourranded by nature, a beautiful place to visit.
Massimiliano was very kindly and knowledgeable. It was such a pleasure to have a tour with him.
Teresa and Graziella were super! Nice and knowledgeable, they entertained us with anecdotes of the places visited without ever boring us. Attentive to everything, they were really kind and helpful. If we could, we would give more than 5 stars! Congratulations!

Beautiful tour, full of interesting facts and details about Japanese culture. Graziella was professional, helpful, and attentive to everyone's needs, respecting the schedule and established times. Unfortunately, an unpleasant incident occurred during the day: a participant reacted rudely and aggressively to a simple stop of a few minutes to taste a typical ice cream, not sharing the group's spirit. Despite the hostile attitude and inappropriate tones, Graziella handled the situation with extreme calm, politeness, and respect, preventing the tension from escalating further; all other participants were enthusiastic about the tour and the activities. Thank you Graziella for the passion, availability, and competence you demonstrated: I highly recommend anyone to rely on her for an authentic and pleasant cultural experience.

Giulia is full of positive energy and her guided tours are a very interesting experience, for the high number of information and curiosities provided. In addition to the purely cultural aspects, in its guided tours you also learn how to buy train tickets and much more.
