Imran khan - The driver, Imran khan, did a great job taking my family around. He was on time at each stop for pick up and the car was clean I would recommend using his services for sure!

Experience with kids - Sha, our tour guide, was very friendly, and was very patient, even though we are a very noisy family, with three kids. He has a very comfortable car, with seven seats. We saw very beautiful places, like the gold temple, the bamboo forest, the monkey park and a lot more. So, you should try it!

Amazing sites in Kyoto - Amazing sites and guided trip with Hashan in Kyoto. Hashan spent the day trip taking us to amazing sites, explaining the history and culture. Great trip. Ask for Hashan if coming to Kyoto.

Kyoto private tour review!! - This is my first Viator/ trip advisor trip that I’ve been disappointed with. The guide Hussein was a very kind and thoughtful person, but he lacked knowledge of the destinations. When I book a tour, I expect to have a proper English speaking native guide. Hussein knew limited English, and spoke Hindi, which only my husband knew, so he had to translate for me and after a point, we started reading up about the places on Google to get ourselves informed on the sights!! I feel that after paying do much, we should have got better guide. ☹️ It was not Hussein’s fault, but the tour organizers fault for not picking the right guide for us!! Please make sure this does not happen again. I will call the customer service on my return to the US

Very expensive and you are on your own. - Very expensive ($700). No guide just a car and a driver. We were taken to the correct list of locations but were almost completely on our own. We went on this tour because we couldnt find any other available tour as it was Jan 2 of the New Years holiday. Im glad we went on the tour because it was our only chance to see the sights but it was very overpriced. If you can go on a different less expensive tour. Be aware that it can be difficult to do anything during New Years in Japan. Very very busy and tour sites are packed. New Years say is kind of like Christmas day in Japan…..very quiet and alot of stores, restaurants,tours etc are closed.
