“Very intensive tour, but you get to see many highlights in 1 day, in every location we had quite short time, I recommend to take notes and come back on a different day if you see a place you like, our guide Hiroko was very nice and had great sence of humor, she taught us useful Japanese words, sadly the explanations about the places we visited were not very clear to me, maybe because my seat was in the back of the bus, because of a confusion regarding when the lunch time ends (I didn't pay for the lunch so got separated from the group) I missed seeing the places…”

“Our tour guide Den started and ended with the brightest smile. She gave us so much insight on the history of the temples and shrines we visited. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will get to experience the brightness that Den brought to our day!”

“Tammy was a perfect guide to show us the wonders of Kyoto. She is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and all of us, including our 19 & 21 year old sons, would recommend her highly.”

“Highly Recommend this tour. Full day packed with interesting places to see in Kyoto. The right amount of time spent in each place. The tour guides were informative and knowlegeable and the coach was very comfortable. Very tastly lunch too. I have been on MANY coach tours and this was ONE OF THE BEST. Many Thanks to everyone involved.”

“We were very disappointed with this tour. We discontinued after 1.5 hours. Unfortunately there were many sick passengers on the bus without masks. We addressed our concerns twice with the tour guide but we were dismissed. We had people behind us that clearly had the flu - coughing, sneezing and snorting. We were not prepared to put our own health at risk. Very disappointing response from Viator when we escalated a complaint with no refund,”

“First the tour guide provided no information or stories regarding the sights at Kinkakuji. Very basic reading from simple book with a few sentences that I could have found more details on the internet. Next we went to Nijo castle. Again not any information or details regarding the sights. We ended up reading the panels in front of each structure ourselves to understand more. Then we decided this was a waste of our time and ask him to end the tour after 2hr even though paid for 4hr. Furthermore we had to pay for his taxi cab and forces one family member to ride with him. This was very expensive…”

“Move quickly through the locations, listen to the tour guides advice. Enjoyed the tour very much. All good.”

“constant updates and communication was excellent- without being overbearing or condescending very professional and informative well run and organised well done gents x”

“The staff is very professional! Kimonos are stunning 🤩 I asked for a last minute postponement and they were super kind”

“We recently had the pleasure of being guided by John on our tour, and I can confidently say he was the most amazing tour driver ever! From start to finish, John went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was not only fun but also memorable and easy. His extensive knowledge about the areas we visited made the journey informative and engaging. John was easy to communicate with and had a friendly demeanor, which made everyone feel comfortable and excited during the tour. I truly appreciated how he tailored the experience to our group’s interests, making sure we stopped at all the must-see spots while also allowing us time…”

“Wonderful experience with Tokiko. You can tell she loves the city and was a wonderful tour guide. Despite our late arrival she showed us a lot!!”

“We were lucky to meet Aki, our tour guide. There were only us on that tour. Aki was accommodating and helpful when we asked questions along the way. She understood when we requested halal/vegetarian food only and put effort into thRead more”

“The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to understand. I am very glad that we didn't try to leave navigation between the places we wanted to see up to us as it would have been extremely stressful and taken up more time as we had no clue what we were doing. It was nice to just be able to follow someone that knew exactly where he was going. But he was much more than just a navigator as he did an excellent job at explaining everything about the temple that we visited, introduced us to some local food, offered some suggestions for good photo ops. He had to take…”

“We had an amazing tour of Nara and the deer park. It was relaxing although quite busy. The deer are very tame and friendly. As well as an extensive tour of Osaka we viewed the city from the council building viewing area. Osaka castle was magnificent.”

“Don’t hesitate to book this private tour. Our driver Toshi was the best. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. He even reserved us a great soba restaurant to eat at for lunch. We would not have been able to see all of these areas on our own in such a timely fashion. Highly recommend that you book this trip. Thanks Toshi!!”
