Review for: Private Kyoto & Nara City 1-Day Tour

our tour guide Aiko was amazing and accommodating getting us away from the crowds where possible and guiding us to areas within each site for great photos and experiences. I have a bad back and knees and Aiko provided options for me to still experience everything. the itinerary was a full day but we did not feel rushed. the driver was great as well and very safe driving. All our questions about anything & everything about Japan were also answered. I did not want the day to end.

We had a fantastic day exploring Kyoto with our guide and driver, Renz. He was amazing, professional, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Renz took care of everything, from navigating the city with ease to ensuring we visited all the key sights in one day. His local knowledge and calm approach allowed us to truly relax and soak in the beauty of Kyoto without any stress. If you’re looking to see the best of Kyoto efficiently and comfortably, this tour is an excellent choice.

Our guide Vanessa was lovely. What we managed to do in one day would have taken us at least three on our own. Whilst we still walked plenty it saved our feet especially as we were travelling with an elder. Not to mention the air con as the humidity is a lot in July! Would recommend the tour to anyone, Vanessa was happy to give us extra time in the places we needed it and shorten/adjust other areas we requested.

Review for: Private Kyoto & Nara City 1-Day Tour

I had a VERY LAST MINUTE decision (past 8 pm) to secure a booking for a day tour to Nara and Kyoto from Osaka. I am really thankful my booking was accepted - It was Saturday night and I decided to go on a Sunday before my evening flight… The package honestly was a tad bit expensive as I was a solo traveler. But since it was last minute, i am okay with it. If you are a group of 3, I think it would be more cost effective and more comfortable rather than joining larger groups. What I love about this tour were: 1) I Got the most friendly guide - Sir Zek who really helped me to make the most of my visit in this day tour and snapped great photos that serve as souvenir for my 1st trip in Japan 2) the comfort of having a private car allowed me to move at my own pace and let me soak in the beauty of cherry blossoms and tranquility of the place without rushing. 3) As a person who has an ill sense of direction, with no planned itinerary at all (lol), I was really just happy to have an instant hassle free IT to enjoy Nara and Kyoto. Thanks Again to Sir Zek, looking forward to visit Japan again soon.

Our guide, Steven, is very accommodating to our requests. Picked us up at the hotel lobby on time. And we managed to go to all the places where we want to go. Too bad, there are a lot of tourists at this time so it’s hard to get that perfect shot (hehe).

I was traveling with my eldery parents and the private tour was definitely the way to go. Yoshi was very patient with us and gave us some great recommendations. We got to see a lot of Kyoto in the limited amount of time we had. Will definitely recommend.

Review for: Private Kyoto & Nara City 1-Day Tour

Great tour and condensed version of the highlights in Nara and Kyoto was perfect for us. I had to book it because my kids would not do long train rides with me lol. Keiko was our tour guide. She was very sweet, accommodating and knowledgeable. She knew all the good spots to take pictures without the crowds. Overall timing was great! The driver was also great at parking in little parking spaces with a big van.
