Sam picked us up on time and guided an extensive all day tour of Kyoto and Nara. He knew how to expedite getting to the key points and was knowledgeable. And he was friendly and accomadating.

Sam was the best driver/tour guide and we had an absolute fabulous day! Sam took us to all the must see sights but also was accommodating when we wanted to do extra shopping at try different foods. Having a private car and guide was perfect and this tour is such an amazing value. If you’re lucky enough to get Sam, you’re in for a treat. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!! Highly recommend!

Just car and driver. Not much commentary, but would answer questions when asked. Driver took us to very interesting sites, allowing us as much time as we needed. We using WhatsAp to arrange pickup points and driver was very prompt.
Good English language skills and was a good driver.

Ali was great, safe driving and took us everywhere we wanted to go. Ali was flexible and willing to accommodate our preferences. He was extremely kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend Ali to a friend. We had a great time on our day outing!

Haider, our guide, was great! He accommodated my mum's walking needs (she couldn't go up too many stairs). He also picked us from Osaka, which was greatly appreciated. The Ginkaku-ji was stunning and there were many interesting souvenir shops in Gion. The Bamboo Forest was also scenic, although it was overcast when we went so it could have been better. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much!

Book a tour with Sam if you want a great guide/driver in the Osaka, Kyoto area. We spent a wonderful day with Sam as he safely drove us to Kyoto. He really knows his history and informed us throughout the day about the history of each special place we visited. It was a very hot August day. Sam did his best to organize the day for the lightest crowds and the coolest time of day. We are traveling the world for the next 3.5 years. We have visited many countries and met many people. Sam will be a young man we will always remember. Sam is an excellent guide, smart, speaks several languages, has great communication skills, and took great care of us the entire day! He even made sure he took us to the right station to get to the Expo after our tour with him ended. We Highly Recommend Sam!

It means a great deal to us to be part of your journey as you travel the world, and we sincerely appreciate your high recommendation. We wish you safe travels and many more wonderful experiences ahead, and we hope to welcome you again in Japan someday.
