    Disappointed

    Dominique_B, Oct 2025
    Krisha, our guide, was nice but not proactive. We only had 3 hours in Kyoto, yet she did not suggest nor plan to take taxis. She did not propose a realistic itinerary based on her knowledge of the city. She proposed a route where we had to double back rather than choose a route in a continuous direction, and from higher to lower ground. In trying too much to please, she was indecisive. We saw much less than we could have.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello Dominique, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sincerely sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the itinerary and planning did not make the best use of your limited time in Kyoto. We understand how frustrating this must have been. At Guydeez, we are committed to creating happy memories, and we have already reached out to you via email to follow up directly. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience, and we hope you’ll give us a second chance in the future. Warm wishes, The Guydeez Team

    It was an amazing tour and Christina was super friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to see three beautiful waterfalls and a lake that looked magical.

    Incredible experience,...

    Incredible experience, Cris did an amazing job coming up with a customized itinerary based on what we were interested in seeing and doing and made all of the necessary reservations in advance. Would definitely recommend this tour and Cris!

    Sebastian was an excellent guide!

    We booked a 4 hr private tour in Kobe for our family of 5. We had Sebastian as our tour guide and he was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the area, had excellent suggestions, engaged with our kids, was friendly, present and aware and all around a wonderful guide! We saw the Herb Garden & Ropeway, & Sebastian recommended an excellent high end restaurant Mouriya Lin because we wanted to try Kobe beef. We had time to stop in at an animal cafe which was a highlight for our kids. Sebastian was the best tour guide we had out of all of our stops in Oskaka, Kobe and Tokyo. The tour guide you are assigned makes all the difference and Sebastian was fantastic!

    an enjoyable walking tour

    It was a great day. Our guide Allysa was excellent. Although we had much less time than originally planned for our visit to Kobe (due to disembarkation issues with Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas), we have managed to see most of what was on our bespoke itinerary and get a proper taste of the city and the surrounding area. Allysa also booked us into an excellent Kobe beef teppanyki restaurant for our dinner. The food, the culinary demonstration and the price were all fantastic. We enjoyed our visit to Kobe, Arima Onsen and the Mount Rokko very much indeed :-)

    Customized and Relateable

    Harold was very knowledgeable about Kobe. He catered the tour with my interests and related information that he knew I could relate to as well. I learned so much about Japanese culture and language. I highly recommend this tour.

    Great day in Kobe, thanks Ian!

    Ian (Qianyu) did a great job is showing us around Kobe, including some spots that didn't come up when we were doing our own research on what to see. Definitely take his advice when planning your itenerary.

    I was interested in a tour of Kyoto from Kobe. However I have mobility issues which made a walking tour not feasible. I was able to discuss what I wanted to see and my limitations well before the day of the tour. Samia offered several options so I knew what to expect. On the day of the tour she was very considerate of my situation and handled all the logistics, providing information along the way. It was unconventional but what fit my situation and we had a good day!
