Exceptional Private Tour with Ken!

5.00Most enjoyable day with Ken. English is way above expectations. He also was very flexible for my specific desires for what to do/not do. Effectively, I was able to customize the day! I will absolutely book with Ken again!
My first time in Miyakojima

5.00Since it was my first time visiting Miyakojima, I was a bit nervous about driving a rental car, so I decided to join this tour. The guide took us to hidden beaches and breathtaking cliffside viewpoints that seemed too secluded to even appear on Google Maps. For lunch, we enjoyed a delicious meal at a local seafood restaurant. The six-hour duration of the tour was just right—not too long and not too short. I would definitely love to join this tour again if I have the chance to visit in the future.
Superb Guide in Miyakojima

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Ken in Miyako. He was very personable, thoughtful, and knowledgeable as he toured six of us around the gorgeous beaches of this island. His itinerary was perfectly timed and we experienced sites we never would have found on our own, including a stop at a local grocery store and restaurant for lunch, complete with a fish-carving demonstration. Would highly recommend his tour!
Great Miyako tour in English

5.00Ken gave our three couples a fabulous tour of Miyako and related islands in his air conditioned minivan. The tour lasted about 5 hours and the itinerary was flexible. We saw many beautiful beaches and Ken provided insight into local life and culture. We highly recommend his tour!
A great tour

5.00Ken was an extraordinary tour guide. He could not possibly have been more welcoming and helpful. Completely devoted to making sure that we had a good time. He took us to all of the sites, including some that the large tour buses don’t go to. The beaches on this island are as beautiful as any you’ll ever see and Ken was the perfect host.
Best Guide You Can Have in Miyako

5.00If you are to Miyako Island don't waste time renting a car. Call Ken from English Miyako tours. He knows every corner of the island, has an amazing personality, is super communicative and even moreover spent the whole tour taking photos of us with his professional camera and then sent us a link with the photos without charging anything for them. We spent 2 amazing days with him and we knew not only the best beaches of the islands but places that only the locals know and secret beaches. To add he still speaks English perfectly and even a little Spanish. His car is super comfortable and he also has all snorkeling equipment. We recommend them with closed eyes.
If you want an English-speaking guide and an amazing experience, book Ken!

5.00Incredible in every way! Ken made our experience on Miyako Island unforgettable. He was professional, punctual, with a lot of experience and great knowledge about the island. I love learning about the history and culture of the places I visit, and he shared fascinating stories and details that made us appreciate Miyako even more. His English is perfect, and he even speaks a little Spanish, which was a very fun surprise. Additionally, he was very flexible and took us to all the places we wanted to visit, adding hidden gems that don't even appear on Google Maps and delicious local restaurants. Thank you for everything, Ken! See you!!!
Great private tour guide

5.00Originally intended to participate in the general bus team, but after seeing a lot of trips, I felt that each attraction stay time is short, lack of a sense of relaxation to travel to the island, and finally chose a private trip, the actual experience felt worth it. Communicating through email and LINE before departure, the attractions you want to visit will be discussed first, and the schedule can be flexibly adjusted, which is reassuring. The day's private guide, Ken, is a Japanese traveler who is fluent in English. My own level of English comparative foundation, he is compatible with my level, with simple easy to understand English communication, encountering the more difficult part will use translation software to Chinese to see me, the whole process is very careful, no pressure, and help to take photos on the way. Recommended some good restaurants before the end, help to make a reservation by phone in Japanese, really great. Overall, it is a comfortable, self-sufficient and pleasant experience, recommended for those who want more flexible schedule. The beauty of the island is stunning, it is hard to imagine that in such a place close to Taiwan, you can see such a clear and fantastic view that people want to visit again every year.
Paradise is here, unavoidable!!
