Reviews
I planned my own day trip from Osaka to Awaji Island with a private car, and since Awaji Island is part of Hyogo Prefecture and quite a distance away, the car rental company was very considerate and upgraded our vehicle, making the whole trip very comfortable! The driver's skills were excellent, and at each attraction, they thoughtfully got out of the car to help open doors and load/unload luggage. They also helped estimate travel times. 10 hours felt like just the right amount of time, and we visited Awaji Hanasaki Garden, Izanagi Shrine, the Great Naruto Bridge Memorial Hall, and took a whirlpool sightseeing boat tour at Naruto Strait. We also got to try the Happy Pancakes and Awaji Wagyu beef burger~ I was very satisfied~ Highly recommend it!
this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.
A must-do side trip to Nara and Kyoto from Osaka! With our japanese speaking driver we still managed to communicate through translator app. A very relaxing trip coz it’s a private car. We were picked up from our hotel, carried our luggage and we asked to be dropped off at Airport Limousine Bus Stop. It was a very fulfilling last day in Japan as we headed back to the airport for overnight stay in Hotel Nikko and be ready for an early morning flight next day.
The activity was easy to book via Klook. Mr. Yu and the company reached out to me prior to the activity. We were able to see many well-known attractions around Kyoto City, but opted for a relaxed itinerary as we had an elderly person in the group. We even saw two maiko walking in Hanamikoji by luck. Overall, Mr. Yu was accommodating to our needs and even went beyond expectations by introducing to us the locations we were visiting on the way inside the car. He also informed us how many hours to stay at one location. I would book his services again if I have the chance to.
We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨
The driver was excellent and very accommodating, always willing to adjust to last-minute changes and offering great suggestions. Having such a convenient pick-up and drop-off service was wonderful, especially when exploring Kyoto in the hot summer.
Very convenient. The driver speaks Chinese, which makes arranging the itinerary very easy.
Happy with our trip and very convenient way to do activities . The travel was smooth and our driver was nice. He was not able to converse more because he speaks little English. But overall it was okay.
It's a two-hour drive from Osaka, which is a bit far. If you're driving yourself, it might be a bit tiring. The driver was excellent and arrived on time to complete the trip.
Our driver Mr. Kyo Yu was the best part lf this tour! He socializes with us and made the trip more fun. He was very kind to us and we loved having him around!
