    We had an amazing day with Fuji. He was friendly and very knowledgeable sharing lots about the different areas. He was also very accommodating as we traveled with a baby and a small child. Highly recommend

    Fuji was a wonderful guide. Adapted plan to our interest. Took us to a wonderful restaurant. Was very engaging and helpful. Also Kyoto is difficult to travel using public transport as tourist attractions are not on train system. So well worth a driver guide. We covered the key sites on this tour. His English is good.

    We originally booked an 9 person van last minute but the company communicated with us to explain that they had to change to a smaller 7 person van due to availability issue. We were able to fit everyone and we got a small discount so we didn't mind. Mr. Fujimoto arrived on time and we discussed briefly how we want to swap out a couple of bigger destinations with smaller temples. He was flexible and we were able to achieve what we wanted to do on a day trip as discussed. Our family friends and our family had an amazing time in Kyoto because of Mr. Fujimoto. We would do it again!

  • Efficient day trip in style and comfort

    Lexi is a great driver. She navigates Kyoto streets safely and manage our time well for 5 different destinations. She also recommenda a great sushi restaurant for our lunch. We enjoy the vehicle quality and cleanliness. Please note that this service is more of a white gloves private driver service. It's not fair to expect knowledge as deep as formal tour guide. If you're looking for deeper history and destination learnings, best to choose a different service. For families, the great part here is kiddos can sleep/ nap in between destinations.
