Great! - We had a great experience, we got to do many things! We wish we would prioritized our time better in different areas that we went to. But overall it was great and Ali stayed in contact with us via what’s app and recommended a great ramen place to eat in Kyoto! We only paid to go into 1 temple that we thought would be nice to see and it was for the ojakko-ji which was around 600yen to get in. We opted out of buying biscuits for the deer in Nara but you could do that as well. Lots of people, which was expected but Overall nice experience!

Private tour of Kyoto and Nara - Today’s tour was phenomenal. I was traveling with my boys and we had specific things we wanted to do before leaving Japan. They created a tour that was specific to our needs and our timeframe. Our true guide was very knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Osaka Tour - We had a wonderful time exploring Osaka with our guide Ali. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. Ali shared great insights about the city’s history and culture, and took us to some fantastic spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. His warm personality and professionalism made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka!

Kyoto & Nara tour - 10am - 4.30pm - My wife & I, along with a friend & his wife loved the tour. Especially Ibrahim who was our driver, friendly and easy to talk to, made it a very special day. We loved the Golden temple Kinka ku ji, Arishiyama , is a bit over rated though, the Temple next to it Tenryu ji is really beautiful. Nara with its deer park and Todai ji temple is a great experience. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is a beautiful shrine & would recommend. The tour was just about right and we loved it. Subramani Iyer

Driver Ali was very nice! - We had Ali as a guide and he was amazing! He was very patient and flexible while we tried new things and figured out what we wanted to see most. He was always great about making sure we didn’t get lost and that we knew where to reach him and where to meet. We felt very attended and cared for. You can tell that he puts his best effort into making sure we had the best trip possible. He made our day!
