Seeing the sights of Kyoto

TeWaiti_R, May 2026

We had an awesome day with our driver and guide Malik. Thoughtful and respectful, he made our itinerary of seeing the major sights of Kyoto a breeze. Making our experience of Kyoto’s highlights easy-going and informative. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the major attractions of Kyoto!

Osaka to Kyoto

glorielydumaguing, Mar 2026

Great tour! We enjoyed setting up our own itinerary. Perfect for those with kids and a bit older. Our tour guide Malik was amazing, he was chill, informative and knew his ways around quite well. We started in Osaka end ended up in Kyoto. We did a quick stop at Glico Man then headed to Katsuoji Temple, had lunch at Nishiki Market, next stop was the beautiful Kinkaku-Ji Temple then headed to Fushimi Inari. He was ready to take the walk with us through the gates but we were beat. Malik was very patient with us, specially to our toddler with her never ending “why”! Thanks for taking our photos!

We had a great day tour...

Makoto_Y, Jan 2026

We had a great day tour in Kyoto with our guide Malik he was polite and courteous, answered questions gave us some history on Kyoto. He picked us up in Osaka and drove us to Kyoto giving us a great view of Japan on the way. While we were at various historical sites, he took his time allowing us to walk in and out of shops take our time and soak in the experience. He even offered to take family photos. We enjoyed our experience and our guide highly recommend!

Recommended private ride .

We only booked the ride 2 days before the trip but guide , Malik has been very reliable and accommodative to our requirements . Malik picked us up from our hotel in Osaka and brought us to the few places we wanted to visit in Kyoto. Highly recommend Malik .

Excellent Last-Minute Kyoto Tour with a Fantastic Guide

Kylie_B, Oct 2025

I booked this activity for my client very last minute on their Japan trip (24-hour notice), and Malik was responsive and excited to accommodate their special requests for what they wanted to see in Kyoto. Here's what my clients said about the tour: "It was amazing! The ride worked out perfectly, and Malik was a great guide. We managed to get in everything we wanted. We did so much, and it was perfectly paced." Overall, I'm very happy with the service provided by Malik, and I would recommend him to anyone wanting a knowledgeable guide and a comfortable ride for sightseeing in Kyoto. Thank you again!
