Fabulous 8 hour private tour

Riku was wonderful. He picked us up from the train station and then began our private tour. It was a rainy day but still spectacular. We saw the Golden Temple, Bamboo Gardens from a rickshaw, enjoyed a delicious ramen lunch and drove to Nara to see Todai-ji and the angelic wild deer. We learned so much about these sites and really enjoyed Riku’s knowledge and company. I highly recommend!

A beautiful day through Nara

Nara was a great place to experience. The deer were fun to feed but beware they can be a bit wild especially the big males! The shrine and temples were amazing too and the massive Buddha statue was outstanding to see. Our guide Ayana was friendly and knowledgeable too!

Had a wonderful time!...

Had a wonderful time! Christine was energetic throughout despite the long tour hours. She was an exceptional guide who could clearly articulate historical nuances about distant relics while also pointing us to a good coffee shop. She offered a flexible, well-designed itinerary; we also never felt rushed. Would certainly recommend this tour…

Hiroshima & Miyajima Tour From Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka

Rachel_M, Oct 2026

Great day - even with questionable weather...

Great way to see a lot in one day. Guide was funny - very well organized. Audio devices helpful in crowded areas with a lot of noise. My only complaint was the timing - it seemed we arrived at the Hiroshima museum at exactly the wrong time - line to get into museum and main exhibit were long, many school groups arriving, and I noticed no such line on the way out. Not sure how to resolve this though.

Our tour was led by Heli and it was really enjoyable. The pace was good and her ability to switch up between English and Spanish so fluently was impressive.

Fantastic four-hour Osaka tour

We had a wonderful time on this Osaka tour. Four hours went by quickly because the guide kept things engaging, shared plenty of local history and food tips and made sure everyone could keep up. The pace was relaxed, with enough time to take photos and try local street food along the way. I'd happily book again and recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka for the first time.

Laura_N, Oct 2026

A fabulous day in Kyoto!

We had the absolute best guide - Keiran! Yes, the pick up was easy, the bus driver was careful, the bus was comfortable, and the sights were perfect in capturing Kyoto in a day. BUT what made the experience so extraordinary was our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, provided excellent recommendations on food and omiyage, and went out of his way to lend his expertise on our travels. So blessed to have him lead our special day in a very special city!
