Amazing experience of Kyoto with Kuni
Our guide , Kuni, was excellent . We discussed the itinerary in advance and Kuni tailored the trip for our needs/ preferences. We would have never been able to experience Kyoto in the same way: Kuni showed great knowledge of the history and present of Kyoto: it was money very well spent . I would recommend this tour to everybody.

Wonderful tour of a beautiful city!
We had a wonderful visit with Mark's plan for us! We saw parts of Japan we never would have seen without his help. We loved our visit to the Mejei Shrine, Takeshita Street, Shibuya/crossing, the Fish Market....and we ended a lovely day at Gyoen National Garden. Mark was very knowledgeable and patient with us; he helped us with pictures, and also saw us struggling with chopsticks and ran and got us some forks, lol! :-) He is energetic and knew exactly where to bring us and the best spots to see! He also helped us navigate the trains, something we had not been able to figure out, lol. We highly recommend Mark and Viator for this wonderful tour!

Keiko was the best
Keiko was an absolutely outstanding guide, one of the best we’ve ever had. She’s completely fluent in English and took a lot of time beforehand to craft an agenda that suited us. We saw several of the most important temples and shrines in Kyoto. She carefully explained the history abs significance of each of these places, which allowed us to understand much better the context of our visit. We also walked through the Higashiyama District where she showed us many of the nicest shops. She’s a totally willing photographer and took several great pictures of us throughout the day. You’ll be very lucky if you get Keiko on your tour.

The best Tour Guide in Kyoto
This is a must due tour. Our tour guide Chihiro was outstanding and truly amazing. If I could give her 10 stars, I would the 10 sites that we saw were all very worthwhile visiting and our guides knowledge of the areas enhanced our visits. She spoke good English, had a good sense of humor and was very knowledgeable. She is an experienced Tour Guide and would request her unconditionally.

Exceptionally great experience. You wont be disappointed!
My husband and I scheduled an 8 hour tour with another couple we were traveling with on 9/26 from Azamara cruise line. Mia Sasaki picked us up at the ship and coordinated taxis and transportation to Miyajima and Hiroshima . We saw so much and instead of being jamed on a large tour, we had private explanations and attention. Mia was very knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and was a joy to be with. She navigated through the ceowds and we were able to see so much in one day.

One of the best guides we have had so far!!!
We tour Osaka at night hitting all the things we wanted to see. This was more of a food and culture tour but it had some history thrown in. Our tour guide, Rat yes that is what his nickname was, was incredible. English teacher by day and tour guide at night. He new so many people on the way and suggested many things to see and do. 10/10 would recommend.

Seeing Tokyo with a friend
Exploring with Amir was like exploring a new town with an old friend. He was keen to ensure we saw what interested us, but at the same time he was able to add in some suggestions we hadn’t thought of. As this was our first time in Tokyo he gave us a quick lesson on using the metro, and pointed out an ATM near our hotel.
Amir had a great knowledge of Japanese culture as well as the history behind it, but was able to make it feel like a casual conversation with a friend as opposed to a history lesson.
We loved our time with Amir, and would certainly recommend doing this tour.

Great opportunity to tour Tokyo.
Loved this Tokyo tour. Our driver/host Deric was great! Informative, friendly, helpful. We were able to customize our tour and adapt to the weather. Deric had great suggestions. We saw a lot more with this tour than we would have seen on our own. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Custom Tour of Tokyo
We took the Tokyo Customized Private tour. Japan Wonder Travel did an excellent job of communicating with us prior to the tour. They had recommendations and welcomed us to make suggestions. They introduced us to our guide, Yoko-san. We were able to communicate with her directly about our interests before the tour day. Everything was handled for us, entry to venues, reservations for lunch and transportation. Yoko-san is cordial, informative and ran our tour efficiently so that we got to see everything we wanted without ever feeling rushed.
We recommend Japan Wonder Travel and request Yoko as your guide.

Tokyo is amazing!
The tour was amazing. John was our tour guide and his English was perfect. He shared so much about what we were going to see and experience. The tour was flexible which definitely met our needs.
Thank you John for making our first day in Tokyo extra special!

Had to Cancel
The cruise port in Osaka is a significant distance from Kyoto. We booked with Viator really not realizing how far was nor the cost and time to get there. Stupid us. Better planning was clearly needed. Viator we will continue to use because it’s always worked out well for us in the past.

Ask for Toru!
Our travel date for this tour came during Silver Week so sites were definitely crowded, but our guide, Toru, created an itinerary that allowed us to see the places we wanted to experience in an enjoyable way. We had no problems communicating with Toru during the lead up to the trip and he was so considerate of our wishes. Toru also shared a wealth of information about Japan and the spots we visited. The personal attention on this tour was such a welcomed change from the packed bus tours we had been on with our cruise excursions and the cost wasn't any different! Thank you, Toru, for a wonderful, enlightening experience in Tokyo!
