From Kobi port, 4 hours of traveling to Kyoto and back but saw sites not to be missed. Our guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and considerate.

This is a fabulous day trip to Kyoto. Our guide, Akihiro, could not have been any better. He was very friendly and full of information about all the sites. He made transportation and all the logistics very easy. As three older women, we really appreciated that. I highly recommend this tour.

The experience was made all the better by our guide, Akihiro. His Interpretation & enthusiasm of the sights, his historical knowledge, & his flexibility to adapt the tour made to our requests made it all more memorable! His English was good & he made the best use of our time! He was prompt picking us up at our location & made sure we were back again safely! We are an older couple & he was cautious not to stress us beyond our capabilities. If we could have stayed in Japan longer, we would have hired him for more trips! We highly recommend Akihiro & Viator!
