    Andy and Take were amazing. Andy had a wealth of information and gave us so many recommendations for in town and out of town as well. Take did a great job navigating some of the busy streets. I would highly recommend them for a tour anytime.

    We had a full day in Kyoto and Nara and we booked our trip with Viator. As usual, it was a great full day tour of this beautiful area. The tour was very good value for the cost. Or tour guide Taka was excellent who was very knowledgeable of the area and Japan in general. His English was excellent so communication was no problem. The 12 person van was very clean and we had some water available. The pickup and drop went smoothly with no problems and disruptions. All entry's and guide information was very good. Taka visited the most important sites in the area and we we were scheduled for. The Shrine of Thousand Torii Gates was unbelievable. The visit to Nara and the Deer was memorable. We enjoyed a wonderful local lunch in a quaint restaurant area that was recommended by Taka. Overall, a great experience! Barbara and Vic

  • A great trip: don’t miss it!
