5.00Collected at the cruise terminal. We were very happy with the driver who used a translator device to communicate effectively. Plety of rest stops and short walks along the river to view waterfalls. He asked whether we were interested in shops, we said no so that enabled a few extra veiwpoints. Very happy to recommend.
Excellent Experience

5.00I took the 4 hour tour with Yuki san and enjoyed every moment. She was a skilled driver who didn’t rush at any place I stopped. She was pleasant and friendly and flexible enough to accommodate some minor siteseeing requests that weren’t part of the original tour plan. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a taxi tour in Iya Valley
Beautiful Countryside trip
