Wonderful Rickshaw Arashimaya Tour
Great tour with Yuya, our personable guide. He has a good command of English and made us comfortable in the rickshaw. We went thru a path only for rickshaws and he was able to take beautiful pictures minus the crowd. He knew where the good spots were which saved us time searching for them walking on our feet. Definitely recommended.

Amazing day in Kyoto!!
Katsu was absolutely amazing and made our day in Kyoto so seamless and fun. He’s a Kyoto local and took us around to all of the main attractions while sharing so much interesting history and local knowledge that we definitely would have missed on our own. He also took tons of photos for us throughout the day, which we really appreciated.
Beyond being a great guide, Katsu was just so normal, kind, and easy to spend the day with — which honestly makes such a difference on a full-day tour. His car was very clean and comfortable, and he was incredibly accommodating, stopping anytime we needed water or a bathroom break.
He really catered the entire day to what we wanted to do, including lunch. We mentioned we wanted sushi, and he took us to an amazing local spot that we never would have found ourselves. It felt like spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend and told him to visit us in San Diego! I was nervous since this tour was not as big but was soooooo impressed! Highly recommend Katsu if you’re visiting Kyoto!

Khan is the man with the plan! We had a wonderful outing from Kyoto. Khan was polite and so accommodating to all of our wishes. He walked us to the sites, gave us some tourist information and was always sure to pick us up right where he said he would be. He suggested stops we may not have considered but was quick to assure us that they were only suggestions. They were great suggestions though! He's an excellent driver and knows the area well. Highly recommend khan !

Superb
Fantastic trip. Our driver was amazing, we really enjoyed the sites.
The tour was organised in a way we really enjoyed and it was very flexible to our needs so we could spend longer in one place and less time in another. The driver always recommended times and places to meet up.

Magical tour in Magical Kyoto!
Our tour in Kyoto was amazing! Kyoto is a magical city especially during Sakura blooming! Our guide Takuma managed to show us Kyoto’s most iconic sights as well as the city’s hidden gem and treasures. Takuma was super knowledgeable and passionate about Japan’s culture and history, he was also very friendly and flexible with great command of English language. Takuma organized everything and made our tour relaxing and enjoyable. It was an amazing day in Kyoto! We highly recommend this tour, our guide Takuma and Japan Wonder travel.

Great way to see several shrines and the Gion district
Yui was super communicative and very warm and friendly! She took us all around the Gion district and nearby shrines. She explained to us how to navigate the shrines (the customs around entry, offering, and prayer) as well as the purpose each one served, and she gave us ample opportunities along the way to take photos or participate if we wanted to. She was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the area and culture that we took with us on our future days in Kyoto. Overall, I really enjoyed this tour, and it felt thorough and well worth the time and money! Thanks again to Yui; she really was great! She even helped with some questions I had after-the-fact and recommended a good shopping area and some good restaurants.

Malik was our driver and tour guide for the day; he made a difficult itinerary with 2 kids and a stroller toddler a breeze! Plenty of rest room stops and suggestions for navigating each location with the stroller. Never rushed us when stopping, highly recommend! Ashan will reach out the day before your event to confirm pickup if you choose that option.

Great private tour of Kyoto!
Fantastic tour worth every penny. Kyoto has a lot to see and having a private car with driver in ADDITION to tour guide is a huge benefit. You can get dropped off by entrance of each destination and then picked up by the exit. Very convenient! Our tour guide Ken Yokosuka was FANTASTIC. Professional, friendly. Knowledgeable, organized and extremely accommodating! Ken made it a great day for us.

Learn and Love with Yuka
We had a four private tour in Kyoto with Yuka. Great communication, friendly and very knowledgeable. She shared history and information about each spot we asked to see, made great suggestions to round out our time and her input made each spot feel more personal. Yuka was a pleasure to be with, patient and understanding with the four of us (2 of us who all over taking pictures) just a perfect guided time. Truly. Thank you Yuka!

Excellent experience!
We had an excellent experience with our rickshaw driver! He was personable, cheerful, full of information, and just made the whole experience delightful! We really appreciated his personality and kindness. It was a relaxing and entertaining way to see the city.

Morning Bike Ride
Our family had a great time. Going in the morning is definitely the way to go as Arashiyama can definitely get busy quick. We went in the spring so it was a bit cold during the beginning part of the ride, but gloves are provided. Don, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the area and Japanese culture. Our kids had a great time. Would definitely recommend for families with kids.

Josh is amazing!
Josh is excellent! He made sure to optimize our schedule according to major tourism times so that we could avoid overcrowding as much as possible during our 7 hour tour. He had great recommendations for shopping areas and lunch. Our tour was incredibly informative and he was so nice. I highly recommend.
