Fuji was a great driver and was very flexible about the itinerary. He knew all of the back ways in town and took us to all of the things we wanted to see and then some. We really enjoyed the lunch at a small, traditional restaurant where Fuji helped us order. This was not the tour with a guide but a private driver, there is a difference as he just takes you to the places to see, you go on your own and meet him back qt the car. We felt that we were well taken care of.

Amazing! Full day tour of Kyoto. This tour is unique in that you can curate, with the help of a local driver, an experience that can take you all across town. Our driver was amazing at guiding us through the city. And we were able to do things that we had not done yet in Kyoto.
