I received the most kind and wonderful driver today! The driver was really supportive and helped out a lot in the scheduling aswell, giving wonderful advice and an amazing service. I cannot recommend this service and the accompanying drivsr enough. I was truly stunned by the entire experience. I had a beautiful day filled with memories that i will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Yamashita!!!!
Smooth sailing experience on this chartered ride. Driver was approachable and accommodated a few changes of just staying in Kyoto and removing our Nara tour coz he mentioned the Mochi pounding place is closed on Tuesdays. We just decided to visit Arashiyama again 😊. Overall, chartered is always worth it and value for money esp if there are senior passengers. Arigatou gozaimashita! 🫶🏼
I recently had a fantastic experience hiring a car with a driver for day trips from Osaka to both Kyoto and Nara, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Our driver was truly excellent. He was incredibly polite and courteous, always ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. What impressed me most was his driving – it was smooth, safe, and very professional. I felt completely at ease on the road. Beyond his driving skills, his knowledge of the routes was outstanding. He knew the best ways to get around, avoiding traffic and ensuring we arrived at our destinations efficiently. This local expertise really enhanced our trips to Kyoto and Nara, allowing us to maximize our time exploring without worrying about navigation. Overall, this car and driver service exceeded my expectations. It made traveling between these beautiful regions so convenient and stress-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable way to explore the areas around Osaka. It was a truly wonderful experience!
this is my 2nd time availing this. i travelled last year with my family, seniors and kids so it was very convenient. 2nd time with friends, ans again very convenient and we had maximize our time in kyoto and nara. the driver doesn’t speak english but was using the google translate app and i appreciate how hard she tried to communicate with us. she also agreed with our customized itinerary. really realy happy with it. will book this again in the next visit.
I was travelling with my family (5 adults, a 3-year old boy and a 7-month old baby) and we wanted to visit Nara Park and some sightseeing places in Kyoto. Booking a private car was a great and convenient choice as we had a stroller and lots of baby stuff to carry with us. We had a Chinese speaking driver, Ken and he was punctual and helpful with some sightseeing tips. The weather was hot and there were massive throngs of tourists and Japanese students on excursions in Nara Park, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Overall, it was a satisfactory trip.
Professional and worry free site seeing tour. Our Driver knows all the Great places to see in Kyoto and Nara. Thank you for giving us a First Class Service!
Value for money very courteous driver and comfy car! Clean, fast, safe and amazing experience over all! Big thanks to our driver jeffrey who took the time to help ne fix our itinerary
Suki is our driver of the day and offering help to plan out our trip to kyoto and make sure we can visit the places we wanted to go. highly recommend the service from this company.
we have another driver today but he coming ontime yo our hotel a we arrive I Kyoto was heavy raining but driver make a bestvsolution for our trip and find gut sushi restaurant thank
Since we had to leave for the airport around 4 PM, we opted for a half-day private car tour of Kyoto (10 hours). Our driver, Mr. Ma, arrived promptly at 8:00 AM at our hotel near Tennoji to pick us up. The car was very clean and comfortable, and Mr. Ma thoughtfully provided us with water. Mr. Ma speaks Mandarin, which made communication very easy, and he clearly informed us of all pick-up and drop-off locations. The journey from Tennoji to Arashiyama, Kyoto, usually takes about 1.5 hours, but because we departed during Monday morning rush hour, there was some traffic, and it took us nearly two hours to reach Arashiyama. We visited Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, the Bamboo Grove, and rode the Sagano Scenic Railway. We also had lunch and bought souvenirs in the shopping street, which took almost 4 hours, so we didn't have enough time to visit Kinkaku-ji Temple. We were very satisfied with the entire trip; having a private car was incredibly convenient. Highly recommended!
