Reviews
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.
Our driver Chen Fei is very nice and friendly. We sent the tour operator our itinerary and they made suggestions on how to enjoy our tour better. True enough, we didn’t encounter too much tourists in our destinations. We did a customized tour of Kyoto as follows: Fushimi Inari - Ninenzaka/Kodai-iji - Shirakawa Lane - Philosopher’s Path - Kyoto Imperial Palace. Tourists started flocking Fushimi Inari at 9am. Ninenzaka, which was packed a week before our visit was almost empty. I highly recommend this tour group and Chen Fei. thank you for making our Kyoto trip unforgettable.
Our trip to Kyoto and Nara was wonderful. We were able to visit so many sights such as the Arashiyama bamboo forest, Tenryuji Temple, Kyumizudera Temple, Fushimi Inari, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Nara Park. Our helpful and hospitable guide helped us courteously along the way and even recommended a nice Japanese restaurant where we could enjoy nice Japanese food. Being with 3 kids, my elderly mom, and hubby, this luxury ride (where seats could raise our legs, have heater or airvent on our seats, electric recliner, etc) was definitely worth it. 👍🏻
We’re happy that we are able to visit most of the top attractions in Kyoto in a day. Our driver Liu was very helpful which made our trip a breeze. I’ll recommend to get this package if you’re traveling with a big group 👍
it is very convenient and relaxing to hire private vehicle for this tour especially we have senior citizens to roam around Narra and Kyoto. for convenience, I recommend this trip to those who will be touring Narra and Kyoto from Osaka.
Our group had 2 children below 6 and both of my parents are elderly already. Private charter is helpful for us as we are not pressed for time as we go around Kyoto and Nara. Our driver Zhao was friendly and his driving was well and smooth. We both used translator on our phones to communicate at times.
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!
driver was very punctual and very polite. he also helped to change my tickets for the whirlpool when we could not make it on time. also advised us about the traffic and times we would not be late
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! ✨
