Great guided private tour that can be customized. - Yash was a fantastic English-speaking tour guide. He was very informative and explained culturally significant facts about the temples and points of interest all along our private tour. The car was clean and comfortable. This was our first trip to Japan and chose this tour so we did not have to do hours of research and plan transportation. Our guide even took us to a local restaurant to have authentic ramen soup. At the end of the day he gave us recommendations for how to spend our second day in Kyoto, based on our interests. This was my first tour ever booked using Trip Advisor and I highly recommend this tour. Hotel pick up was included and made our travel extremely easy for the day.

A fun day with Yash - Yash was our tour guide for the day. He was such a delight. Kind, patient, considerate and very knowledgeable. He showed us many sights in a way that met our desires. He even changed plans and took us to the Monkey Park when we asked. Saving the best sites for last he ended on such a high note. He was a save driver and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He knew how to find a great restaurant too!

Fantastic Kyoto tour at your own pace - Yash was an incredible guide for our tour of Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating! We were able to take our time at each location (my family likes to enjoy things at a more leisurely pace) and still did the whole itinerary in a day. And all in the comfort of having our own private car! Yash went above and beyond for us—even took our pictures for us and gave us a lovely souvenir—and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to see the great sights of Kyoto at their own pace.

Good guide and delivered fast day. - Our Guide was prompt and picked us up at our hotel. The van was clean and also could charge my phone. Van had AC which was great when it got hot. He was extremely efficient in getting us to the many spots on our itinerary in a safe manner. As a result we finished earlier than expected and on our early spots we beat the crowds. Also means we don’t need to use up another day here and can spend it elsewhere. Only criticism for me were his photography skills which need some work but is par for the course.
