5.00Renting a trip with a driver was well worth the cost, especially since one of our group was less mobile. Mike was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and personable, and we appreciated his flexibility especially in light of the extreme heat.
Day Tour in Kyoto

5.00We recently had a few days to spend in Kyoto and, wishing to make the most of it, we booked a tour for the day. Our driver, Toshi, exceeded our expectations. He was exceptionally well-prepared, offering us maps, thoughtful explanations of local customs, and even recommendations for seasonal treats. Not only was he a knowledgeable guide, but he was also someone whose company we truly enjoyed. We saw far more than we could have on our own and gained a deeper appreciation for Kyoto through the history and cultural insights he shared. Toshi was flexible and accommodating, striking the perfect balance between giving us time to explore independently and guiding us through key sights. He was a wonderful host for our introduction to Kyoto, and I would recommend the tour to anyone looking to experience this beautiful city more fully.
Best way to see lots of sights with a large family

5.00This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was wonderful and showed us an additional place in Kyoto that we enjoyed and would have missed without his recommendation. I look forward to booking more tours this way in the future.
Amazing Toshi!

5.00Toshi was an amazing tour guide! He gave amazing insights and history to all the locations. We had a 9 yr old and a member of the family who could not walk long distances. Toshi 100% accommodated. He took us to amazing shrine as well as other gorgeous spots. Don’t hesitate and book, you will not regret it.
