Kyoto Private Car Tours

“Amazing day full of many sights and treats! We will cherish the memories forever!”

From the start, Kanae was so lovely and helpful in helping organise a magical day for our group of 4 (adults and teens) from Australia. Initially there were weather reports that potential snow conditions may affect our plans for the day but luckily she had everything under control. She was in constant contact to update us and was so professional in her approach. Thankfully it was a gorgeous day and we saw many sights yet it felt at a relaxing pace. Kanae was extremely flexible and catered fully to our wish list of attractions/food options/breaks in her clean, comfortable and modern car. She was extremely fluent in English and continually engaged everyone in the group. All of us really enjoyed the tour and she even went out of her way to take us to the best ramen restaurant! We look forward to our next visit to Kyoto and would love to have her guide us again. Thank you Kanae! Hope we can soon meet up again. Xx

Jenny, thank you so much for your generous and kind review. I truly can’t thank you enough. I’m so glad that everything turned out well today, despite the snow alert in the Kyoto area. I really enjoyed your company, as well as the kids, who were a real pleasure to be with. I hope I’ll have the chance to guide you again in the future. Enjoy the rest of your stay!

“Perfect day in Kyoto ”

Kanae was a great guide to work with from the time we first scheduled with her until the time that she dropped us off at our hotel at the end of our tour. She was quick to confirm our tour, and then was great in communicating and seeing what it was that my wife and I wanted to for our day in Kyoto. Her excellent English allowed for even deeper conversation about the sites we went to as well as the culture and history of Kyoto while we drove between the sites we visited. Kanae’s expertise and friendliness ensured that my wife and I made the most out of our limited time in Kyoto, we are both grateful to have had her as our guide.

Nick, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a generous and kind review. I am truly delighted to know that both of you enjoyed the tour. I really appreciated your enthusiasm and your respectful attitude toward our culture. Your insightful questions deepened my own understanding of Kyoto and Japanese culture, and I truly enjoyed spending time with you. I hope I will have the pleasure of assisting you again when you return to Kyoto.

“Best tour guide in Kyoto!”

Akira was an incredible tour guide, very professional but so warm and accommodating, with a lovely sense of humour. He made us feel very welcome and at ease. His superb historical knowledge of Japan and the Emperor and Samurai brought Kyoto alive for us. We were totally enthralled for 8 hours. He is just simply the best! Totally and unreservedly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
