“The Temples and parks were great: the Buddha, Golden temple, the deer...pleasant experience. My only drawback and why I didnt give this tour a "5" is that everything felt a little rushed. I would have liked to have heard more history at the beginning of the trip. Our guide did become more informative as the trip continued. Enjoyed the time in Arashiyama. Beautiful town. It was great not having to worry about transportation.”

“Very professional and knowledgable staff. I highly recommend for family whom visits Japan for the first time. Hatchi is tour staff with full knowledge about the places and history of Japan. She made people so excited during the trip. We laughed all the time with her stories. Two thumbs up.”

“Delayed bus arrival, only time to literally run through the two most important visits. English guiding was minimal compared to other language.”

“The tour ddn’t feel like a “tour”. It felt like we were just dropped off at the places we wanted to see. How I wish the guides could tell us more about the history of these places. Telling the background of the places and what made it significant makes the tour interesting.”

“We are a family of 4, visiting in Osaka for a few days and wanted a day trip to Kyoto and Nara. Booked a private van with Viator and we are just so glad we did. Overall our trip was really great and it wouldn’t have been possible if not for our tour guide, Hamza. He speaks 7 languages and is super informative. Our gratitude to him for taking good care of us throughout our trip. We met him at our hotel at 8:30am and headed to Nara. It was such a smooth ride up Kasugawa where we fed the deer without the crowd. We proceeded to Todai-ji temple where…”

“The Kyoto and Nara tour was an absolute delight, thanks in large part to exceptional tour guide, Nick worked diligently to cater to our needs, maintain a lively atmosphere and create a lasting memories, his dedication and expertise truly made the tour special, and for that, we are extremely grateful. Bravo Nick!👏👏👏👏👏”

“Highly recommend this tour! In just one day, we got to explore Nara, Kyoto, and Fushimi Inari—all thanks to our amazing guide, Ms. Zhao. She was super friendly, shared cool historical insights, and took great care of us. —thanks for everything, Ms.Zhao and Gogoday travel”

“We spent a wonderful day with Masa, exploring Nara and it’s surrounds and magnificent Temples. From the minute he picked us up at the hotel, he treated us with such warmth and courtesy and we really enjoyed his company. He was so knowledgable and the explanation of meanings in the Temples made the visits so much more meaningful. We wanted part of the tour customised for ourselves with a visit to the old Town, and Masa was delighted to do that for us. Nothing was too much for him. We also felt very safe and comfortable with his driving. Would definitely recommend Masa as your guide and hope to tour…”

“They tell us 10 minutes before this trip is supposed to start that they will arrive 1 1/2 hours after the start time! .,,. Terrible! Do not book with them”

“It is a great way to get a taste of things you might want to revisit or simply do not have the time available to invest in completely.”

“There would have been no way to possibly visit and experience these many places without a tour like this one. Our guide was great and made the day more fun with her knowledge and spirit. Each location had plenty to offer and the schedule of the day was just right.”

“Great visit w tour guide Kou Ran ( Kosa) who shared tour highlights and made sure all participants were well advised and ready for a full day of sightseeing activities. Good tour, read up on history before you join for even more information. Lovely and well organized tour.”

“Great itinerary, friendly driver, and amazing sights. Loved the deer in Nara. Everything was smooth and well-organized. Highly recommended!”

“too much time on the road not enough time at the attractions... but cannot fault the guide it is the nature of the landscape. guide dud her best to keep us all on track, loved her use of whatsapp to connect with us throughout the trip.”

“This is good trip for group travelers, as they bring you to different locations and give recommendations where to go. Thanks Etta for positive vibes!”
