Fantastic day tour

Felicity_M, Jan 2025

Great experience being walked around all the locations and taking photos for us, he had great English skills and was very kind and interactive with the children too. He was able to provide a bit of background information about all the sites too. We really enjoyed the special experience and got to see more then we could have navigating the day on our own.

Brennan_H, Jul 2024

The private driver picked us up from the train station and toured us around Kyoto. It was a hot day but the air conditioned van was helpful!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Not so great

Dana_K, Mar 2024

The driver/guide is very nice. But the car was kind of noise during driving. And the guide has limited knowledge about surroundings and visited places. P

Response from Host, Mar 2024

A driver not a tour guide

Tresilian_S, Feb 2024

Whilst our driver was friendly he was not a tour guide, he hardly spoke to us al all on the full day trip. I explicitly messaged the team asking for a guide and not a driver. We were left to our own devices and no real information was given, we had to google it all ourselves. He was a driver and not a tour guide - what a shame because on a separate trip our driver was a guide and took us to special places, shared lots of interesting facts and advised us of places to see and things to do.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks for your feedback. As we already mentioned in our Subject that we provide English speaking driver Not Guide but our driver can bring all the places of itineraries mentioned and give you information also. Our driver speak very good English and very professional, humble polite and friendly. Even he gave you tour more than 10 hours. He gave you 12 hours tour and not charge you extra for that. Thanks for your review

Change the description. Too misleading

Carlos_V, Apr 2023

Pros: > "tour" was customizable. They allowed us to change the attractions to a shopping mall by the end > Driver tried his best to speak english Cons: > that was not a guided tour. You get a private car and a driver. > driver didn't offer to show us around. He just stayed in the car > driver asked for payment for parking. It should have been included as advertised > car had a foul smell

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks you so for your feed back If our driver ask for parking we will take strict action against him Thanks you so much for your feed back

Only driver, no guided tour

ERNESTO_G, Apr 2023

I’m dissatisfied with this booking because it is advertised as a tour but in reality you only get a driver and car without any guidance. Car was in great shape and driver was very courteous. The downside is that there is no proposed itinerary or any guided tour. Driver drops you off at location and waits for you. For the price paid and advertising I expected a tour, not a driver-only booking.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for your feedback Our diver is in person tour guide & driver he knows all the places of kyoto & have good knowledge he is very professional & friendly. Our driver gave you whole day tour & tour was 10 hours but spends more than 14 hours on all places and driver did not charge overtime and he brings you on your choice of itinerary. Thanks you so much for using our services

The driver was punctual and very friendly. He accommodated our plans and allowed us to decide what we wanted to do and see. He was knowledgeable about the city and culture. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. I would did take this tour again. Thank you Rana Usman

Tour di 3 giorni Kobe-Kyoto-Osaka

Mery_T, Sep 2024

Cu siamo trovati veramente bene con questi tour. Io ho preparato l'itinerario e loro ci hanno portati in ogni luogo richiesto. Educati, puntuali, e nonostante non parlassero bene l'inglese, ma tanto neppure io... ci siamo trovati bene
