Tour kyuto /Nara 2026 with Valerie
It was a great experience especially the one in Nara park with the dear. We enjoyed the view in Bamboo park and love the tall gates experience . About Valerie our tour guide, she made us felt safe and well taken care off the entire time. She did a good job! Excellent work, we will recommend her to our friends.

We really enjoyed our tour in Nara + Uji + Kyoto Tour!
Cali was an amazing tour guide! She was always down to share recommendations for our specific needs (especially when it came to food and activities!). She was also great at communication and was responsive on WhatsApp with meeting times and locations. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone like Cali to guide you in English, Chinese, or Japanese.
I’m really glad I chose this tour as someone who wanted to see as much as I could of Japan within the limited time I had starting in Osaka. It was the only day tour I found that has Uji included along with Nara and Kyoto. I felt like we were given enough time to enjoy ourselves in each city. It’s awesome that we were able to see a bit of all 3 cities in 1 day.
This tour definitely had a lot of highlights for me. :-)

A fun day!
Our tour guide was Very social and informative. It was fun to get to these out of the way place we wouldn’t have gone otherwise. The lunch was fun, the additional seafood dishes were not to my taste but an interesting experience.
Feeding the seagulls may have been the best part! (get a bag of crackers when they offer them)
Overall an awesome addition to our Japan trip

Best priced tour to see Kyoto in one day!
Cesar did a bilingual tour and he spoke very softly and calmly which felt relaxing. It was a hot summer day and my 80 year old mother kept up for the most part but some stops required a good amount of walking, mostly flat except the last 2 stops, Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi red arches. She did not go but was able to get to the first block of old town at Kiyomizu and there is an elevator at Fushimi to get to beginning of arches. Bus driver can only turn on engine 15 min before departures but driver was kind enough to offer my mother to come stay in bus before that. There are many stores to rest if she can’t make it to the main attraction. We did not pay for entry tickets (bring cash!) and decided at each location to buy them depending on how my mother did. Also kids under 15 was less than half price at these places and no wait times so it worked out well for us. Sorry Cesar we could not say a proper Sayonara but thank you for a memorable day!

Private tour in Kyoto
Dhanu was a wonderful guide and though it was extremely hot, we made the most of our day. Our guide toured us through the major sites in Kyoto and was very knowledgeable. He also took wonderful artistic pictures of our group and knew the best photo op spots. He was also well versed with Japan’s history and the sites we visited.

We like our guide Cali!
We had a nice experience with our Kyoto tour guide Cali. She was friendly, patient, and especially kind to our kids. We were about five minutes late for the meeting point, and she kindly waited for us. She also surprised our kids with small souvenirs, which was a thoughtful touch. Thank you for helping make our family’s Kyoto trip enjoyable!

Great experience meeting a real maiko
Got there about 20 mins early so got a good seat. Green tea is provided and a matcha cookie. Toilets available. The guide talked about the history of the geiko and maiko and we watched 2 performances of dance moves. She was very graceful. Then there was a q&a plus she also played a game with audience members. Everyone got a go so not rushed.

Incredible Day Tour from Kyoto to Nara and Uji!
What an amazing day! Seeing all the deer wandering around Nara and bowing to everyone was the highlight of the tour for me but I truly enjoyed all the sights and experiences. Our tour guide, Hiroko, was an absolute delight! Highly recommend on any trip to the Kyoto area. Worth every penny!

Great tour and it really...
Great tour and it really does take you to restaurants you’re not going to stumble into without a local guide. Our guide was awesome and she answered other questions we had about Japan in general and different cultural questions we had. Really enjoyed it!

Day trip to Hiroshima by bullet train
A very well organised tour to Hiroshima by bullet train and to Myajima island where we had enough time to visit . The dome and peace museum were very poignant . Our guide Nob was very attentive, patient and informative about the events. I would recommend the tour

Great tour with Bunny....
Great tour with Bunny. She kept our group together and her friendly personality made the trip enjoyable. We went on a boat ride, took a chairlift up a mountain and learned lots about Japan. Although there was lots of driving the scenery made it worth it.

Wonderful local guide and host!
J was such a kind, thoughtful and fun guide! Being from Kyoto he provided great history and shared his favorite spots. He handled everything with such care and couldn’t be happier! We topped the evening off with a memorable karaoke duet! It was a such a wonderful time. Thank you, J!
