“Trip to Kyoto”

Our experience with SoQ Bright Taxi was outstanding. The communication was clear and consistent and they followed up several times on the itinerary and timing or our trip. Our driver Mr, Li was very friendly and helpful. He even helped us find a delicious ramen restaurant to eat at. The vehicle was nice and comfortable and very clean. It suited the 6 of us well and made our day trip to Kyoto perfect.
