“Great service ”
Excellent service, our driver was very professional and always willing to help. He was on time and very cooperative. I recommend to use any Translator app to be able to communicate as the level of English is limited.

“Wonderful Tour!”
Our family loved our Kyoto tour with Kanae! She is kind, very knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with. We appreciated some of the less touristy sites we would have never seen on our own. Great to let her do all the planning and driving! We saw so much in just a few hours. We highly recommend her!
