💯 satisfied
Meli was our guide and we were very satisfied with the service. The places we visited are the best. The driver and the car were first-class
Relaxing, private tour of Kyoto’s key attractions with the most incredible guide!
What an incredible tour! We were initially slightly worried about the price as it wasn’t what we were considering for our budget, but we are SO glad we chose this experience. It was well worth the cost. You get to see several key Kyoto sights that would have taken multiple days if you tried to do it on your own. Plus in the July heat, you have the wonderful comfort of a private van getting you from place to place. The cherry on top of this tour, though, is the guide. We had Kana as our tour guide and she made the experience truly once in a lifetime. She gave us so much background on each location, answered all of our questions, took several photos, reserved a delicious and special restaurant experience, hurried to get all of our tickets before other groups, ensured we always had time to stop for souvenirs, drinks, etc. and treated us to a nice, cold snack. Thanks to her, I tried matcha for the first time! It was a much-needed, peaceful day after our packed vacation itinerary. We are so thankful for Kana and the amazing day we just had in Kyoto. We will remember this day for years to come.
Outstanding Kyoto tour experience
We are a dad with teenage son visiting for the first time Kyoto. We had an amazing Kyoto private tour that truly exceeded our expectations. Everything was seamless thanks to Jack, our professional and smooth driver, who made getting around effortless. The highlight was our guide, Mary—fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, she brought Kyoto’s history and culture to life in such an engaging and personal way. Her energy and warmth made the experience feel special from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a stress-free and memorable way to explore Kyoto.

Best day ever!
The best day of our trip to Japan so far! Jimmy was an incredible guide, adapting our trip based on weather and my grandmother’s mobility challenges.
