Reviews
We were so lucky to have such a kind and thoughtful driver, which made our entire trip enjoyable. He arrived 10-20 minutes before our scheduled time, showing great preparedness and excellent manners. The weather was rainy and very unpredictable, but having a private taxi made our travel so comfortable. Thanks to him, our group of 9 (two elementary school children, one toddler, and six adults) made wonderful memories.
We had a wonderful experience with our private charter to Osaka city and Nara! The driver was punctual, friendly, and drove very safely. The journey was smooth and comfortable, and we didn’t have to worry about directions or transport changes. Everything was well arranged, making our trip stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Japan! 😊
The driver contacted me a day in advance, was punctual, and communication was smooth. Their timing was excellent. The ride was smooth and comfortable, and the car was very clean. Overall, it was excellent service.
On time and the drivers have such excellent service. Yuri, their customer service representative is quick to respond and provides exceptional service as well. I have booked multiple services with them while I was in Osaka. Thank you again!
Our driver Xiao Li arrived on time to pick us up. Very nice guy and share alot of information about kobe to us. He even suggested a super yummy kobe teppanyaki restaurant and help us make reservation. We ended the tour earlier as my nieces were too tired to go around. Xiao Li suggested he could drop us at a shopping mall and the rest back to the hotel. Thaank
Excellent driver and very nice car. Wonderful experience in Jeju. Many thanks to Mr. Cho for everything. Five stars for his kindness and professionalism.
The driver was very cute, helpful and gave good advice. The driver gave very good advice on various places.
The company contacted us and had no problem changing the route according to our requests. The driver doesn't speak any Japanese or English and wasn't familiar with the place, but I assume we were the ones who changed the route.
Efficient and friendly service. The car (Toyota Vellfire) was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Our driver was very helpful and flexible with our fluid schedule. Would hire this service again!
