Reviews
We had an amazing day with Hassan, our driver and experienced everything we wanted during our private day trip. Hassan picked us up directly from our hotel at the agreed upon time and was a wealth of knowledge, helping us make the most of our time together and helping guide our choices of what to see and do. Hassan was professional and a pleasure to talk with during our day. We would highly recommend him and the private tour as a way so see many sights in one day. we loved it and will definitely book another private tour again for our next trip.
Haider was our guide, and he was lovely! Our day started a little later than planned due to traffic for Haider, but he communicated well, so we knew what to expect. Haider knows the area well, navigated us efficiently and was able to share insights that we would have never known had we gone to these places without a guide. We never felt rushed, but got to see so much in one day. the restaurant he recommended to us for lunch was excellent. Our 13 and 15 year olds give this tour 5 stars as well! plenty of opportunities to pick up trinkets and snacks along the way (we did both!)
We had a great experience with our driver, Xu! He was communicative, flexible, and made everything super easy for our group of 6. We visited the attractions in Kyoto and Nara Deer Park, all in one day. He even recommended a fantastic restaurant. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see a lot in a short time!
Our guide Mr Asfand is very courteous, attentive and efficient . He gave us an excellent experience during the trip. Arigatogozaimasu 🌸🌸🌸
We enjoyed the customisable tour from Osaka and visited Tōdai-ji, Nara Deer Park, Fushimi Inari Taisha & Kiyomizu-dera.
transport was comfortable. The guide was friendly and answered questions but could have been more proactive with commentary and didn't come into any of the temples though he did go with our proposed itinerary and adapted to our family requirements.
The driver was sensible and alert with our instructions, especially when we are getting caught in the tourist crowd. He can easily find us and locate us to fetch us for the next place to go to. The itinerary was also efficiently curated depending on how close the last location is to our hotel. Highly recommended.
