10 out of 10 Private Kyoto Day Tour!

My Husband and I had an absolute blast on this day tour. We had so much fun with our tour guide Ana, who was very knowledgeable on the places we visited, we learnt so much today. Ana wasn’t just the tour guide but she also offered to be our photographer in every site and her photos are amazing! I won’t say too much as to not spoil the great parts but all I can say is this Kyoto Day Tour is so worth it. In between the itinerary of places you will also have time to buy souvenirs. We had lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant where we had to take our shoes off, they had a variety of menu sets to pick from and everything we ordered was delicious! Thank you Ana-san and Cho-san for the best day!

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.

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

Hailey_W, Oct 2026

Hiroshima and Miyazima Island

Mitzuke (if this is her correct name) guided us on wonderful tour of the Hiroshima atomic dome, memorial area and museum. Before heading to Miyazima Island. The fact that she came from Hiroshima and her family experienced the atom bomb dropping on the 6th of August 1945, makes her the most ideal tour guide for such a melancholy but essential cultural, historic trip. She was so kind, full of knowledge and super friendly. Everyone on the tour enjoyed her stories and her beautiful character. I hope to meet you again one day. Thanks again Viator for organising another fantastic tour that is as always amazing value for money <3.

An Amazing Day Exploring Nara with Ayame

We had such a wonderful time exploring Nara! This tour was the perfect way to experience the city, and we felt like we got to see all the highlights while learning so much along the way. Visiting Tōdai-ji Temple and seeing the enormous Great Buddha was especially impressive, and of course, spending time with the famous Nara deer was a highlight! Our guide, Ayame, was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient with our two kids, taking the time to answer all their questions. She also helped us interact with the deer and was quick to step in whenever they got a little too pushy! Her guidance made the entire experience fun, educational, and easy to enjoy. We learned so much, made wonderful memories, and had an amazing time. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the best of Nara! Hopefully you get Ayame as your guide since she was fantastic!
