Reviews
Excellent car rental experience from Nara to Kyoto. Our driver, Zhao, was very professional, punctual, and flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Great value for money for 6 pax, saved us a lot of time and energy. Highly recommended for first-time travelers, groups, and families with children. Will definitely use this service again when in Osaka.
We had a wonderful trip from Osaka to Kyoto with a group of four. The journey was smooth and well organized, and our driver, Mr. Bai, provided excellent guidance throughout the trip. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful in directing us to some of Kyoto’s most beautiful destinations. The highlights of the trip included the Bamboo Forest and Fushimi Inari Shrine, both of which were truly breathtaking and unforgettable experiences. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to fully enjoy each location comfortably. Thank you very much for arranging such a memorable trip, and special thanks to our driver, Mr. Bai, for his outstanding service. We highly recommend this experience
We had a great time with our driver Fan who kept us safe from our Osaka to Kyoto travel and tours. He speaks english fluently so communication was not a problem. He was also patient communicating with my 8yo son who was very talkative asking random questions and telling stories. 😆 Thank you Fan for your great service.
Chen-san is epic! He is fluent in English and really understands your needs. There were a few minor hiccups, like waiting for him at some places due to traffic and narrow roads in Kyoto, but overall it was smooth. We used our own itinerary in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari (10 mins for photos) Stop to buy matcha powder at Otanien Shop Walk along Ninenzaka (about 1.5 hours) Lunch at Arashiyama Bridge (spend around 3 hours) Ride the Sagano train from Saga Station to Kameoka, where Chen-san picked us up and drove us back to Osaka on time His driving skills were superb, and thanks to him, we had a truly memorable day. All the best, Chen-san!
We toured around Kyoto at our phase and ease because we chose the customized itinerary for 10 hours in Kyoto. Considering the major destinations were full of tourists, having your own schedule will make it more enjoyable. We are grateful to our driver Chen!
We had Mr Jiang as our driver for the day, and I couldn't have asked for a better driver! Mr Jiang was professional and very helpful. He went above and beyond by recommending an additional stop in our itinerary, and also recommending us a restaurant for lunch. He even opened the car doors for us whenever we got on and off the car 😂 Overall I would highly recommend this if you have elderly or kids and its not so convenient to take the public transport.
We are happy that our companion/driver is very kind and accommodating. Our tour today was amazing we did go to place we want to go amd experience Japan. Zhao Wudi is very helpful and professional, he made sure our day will be perfect as expected. He is really good English and communicate to us fluently. We would definitely book again when we come back and highly recommend Zhao, car is so and ordorless actualy. Thank you.
Alex was a fantastic guide. We had the best day of our trip exploring Kyoto with Alex. highly recommend this experience, you won’t regret it!
Because I had an elderly with me, I decided to charter a vehicle with driver for my day tour to Kyoto. Driver came on time and was very professional. Overall a good experience.
Our Klook driver provided exceptional service throughout our trip. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, especially toward our elderly companions. Because of the extremely hot weather, he was very considerate and willingly adjusted our route and schedule to make the trip more comfortable for everyone. He always prioritized our safety and well-being, ensuring that our elderly family members didn’t have to walk long distances or spend too much time in the heat.
