We fell in love with Kyoto

Reviewed by: Jlo

We went around Kyoto and the tpur was very well managed. Chihiro was our guide and she was amazing. She was always smiling and made special efforts to talk to each of us. She welcomed as many questions as we had. It was an amazing experience. We fell in love with Kyoto thanks to you guys.

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Emi

Our driver Hiroshi was a wonderful guide, and the Toyota Crown he drove was so beautiful.
Hiroshi showed up with white gloves on him, and had a name tag with my name on the dashboard.
He treated us if we were celebrities or something.
He was very knowledgeable, kind and had a great hospitality.
I would say that the price they charged for 4hours of this service is very reasonable. We wil recommend this service for anyone who comes Kyoto for the first time!

Kyoto 1-Day Bus Tour to Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkakuji & Nijo Castle

Morning Kyoto Tour

Reviewed by: Courtney

Far too large of a group. We could never hear the guide speaking unless we managed to get directly next to him. He had a microphone but never seemed to speak into it properly. I’d recommend just hopping a taxi and doing an audio tour instead of this. To be fair, the guide was incredibly nice and polite, as most Japanese we encountered were and the Nijo Castle and golden pavilion were lovely spots. I’d recommend skipping the ex-imperial palace unless you get advanced tickets with access to the interior.

Reviewed by: Alyona

WE booked the tour a day before , spontaneously. On the day of the tour we were not able to print out our vouchers as it was requested in the booking. yet, the colleagues from the office made it possible for us to change the date for our tour and forward our booking to the service provider.

The day of the tour was a greyish and rainy one. Hot green tea and blankets made our stay on board very comfortable. We enjoyed the tour (used English translation).

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Chris

It was a wonderful experience. Mr. Shoji, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and top notch. He was a wonderful company, professional and a delight. At the start, he had a tour plan waiting for as well as consulting our group if there were other things we wanted to see or do. We managed to see what we wanted to see and then some more. There were slight hiccups as some of the sights closed due to the holidays but he manage to find good alternatives. All in all a very good and well planned experience.

SKY BUS Kyoto Drive Around Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Quick Open Top Tour

Reviewed by: Michelle W.

This was the second tour that my husband and I booked using Veltra. The app is so easy to use. I was sitting in the hotel lobby waiting to go to our train. In less than 20 minutes we found a tour for Kyoto, purchased and confirmed tickets. The quality of tour that Veltra books for is consistent. We like that we can search for tours in English or that have English support. The open top bus company went above and beyond. The weather the day of our tour in Kyoto was weird. The day started with a mix of snow/hail which transitioned to full sun only to be followed by torrential downpour. We decided to go ahead a brave the 1.5 hour tour anyway, justifying that rain is only water and we could very easily dry off or change to dry clothes if we really need to. Veltra provided clear directions on our ticket confirmation for where to find the correct bus terminal. The Open Sky Bus tour guides greeted us at the bus terminal and were very friendly. They gave us ear buds for the English audio for the tour. As we entered the bus we were given rain ponchos, hot green tea, and instant hand warmers. This was amazing service and something that really made the tour. Even though it was cold, the sun came out and it ceased raining. The hot drinks and hand warmers really eased the cold of our January tour. Seat numbers were assigned. Knowing this now, I wish I would've asked the ticket counter if could have the seats in the very front of the bus. We had great views of some amazing sites in Kyoto. We felt like we got a great highlights or best-of tour. The audio had great music between talking bits. The information in the audio provided great history and insight into the city of Kyoto. It gave us some great ideas about which places we wanted to go back and visit. As it was our time in town was limited, so after the tour we actually took a local train down to Fushimi Inari shrine, which is not included in the tour, but a quick two-stop local train ride.

We took the monring tour only, with friends and family. The tour was fast, but informative. It really gave you a taste of Japan, that made you itch for more. There is a lot compressed into this tour so time is really of the essence, still we did have time to enjoy and walk around the tour sites. Very good and would definitely recommend.

It was 34 people in our group. The waiter and waitress were so busy catering to two groups of Japanese customers (about 20 people), they did not offer for us to order any drink. Our group was trying to get their attention to order some beverages but they did not walk over to us. The show itself is ok but I would not recommend this event.

Kyoto 1-Day Private Taxi Tour from Osaka to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari and More

Perfect Itinerary for first time visitors to Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Catchup

We took part in the tour with 6 persons.
It was fruitful experience to visit 5 famous places in Kyoto from/to Osaka within a day!
Guide/Driver knew history about all places we visited and explained kindly with fluent English.
Of course, the car had superior seats to be relaxed.

We canceled to visit Kiyomizu Temple and added to visit Uji Byodoin Temple and Japanese Sake Factory.
There were many places to take beautiful photos like Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji, and Bamboo forest in Arashiyama.
Not only enjoying senaries, satisfied with tasty Japanese Sake and delicious Japanese food! Especially, Sake Factory was amazing that we tried many kinds of expensive/sotisficated sake by 1$(JPY100)/1sip!

We strongly recommend visiting Kyoto even from/to Osaka (not far away), and chartering taxi (not using public transportation) to visit famous places efficiently!

We really thank our driver for the best memory/experience during our stay in Japan!

Regards,


  • Fushimi Inari Shrine

  • Uji Byodoin Hohohdo

  • Kinkakuji

  • Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama

Reviewed by: Mickie & Yoshi

It was nice to visit most popular 5 places in Kyoto within a day.
Our driver drove safely and taught us Japanese history, geografy, custom and manner very kindly.

Although the temperature was very hot, perfect sunshine & sky to take photos!
We recommend chartering a limo if you visit Kyoto first time, and you want to visit polular places in a day.

Especially, Fushimi-Shirine, and Kinkakuji-Shrine were fabulous!

You can also tell a driver what kind of food you want to eat, then, he will find best restaurant per your request (as a referrence, we chose Tofu restaurant, delicious!).

We would like to thank a driver for unforgettable memory of Kyoto.

We had the pleasure of doing an 8 Hr tour with the driver Hiroshi Yano. He was extremely knowledgeable of details and history, which kept it very interesting. His car was very clean and comfortable and he also had a great sense of humor. He spoke English very well. He was also accommodating to change the original itinerary based on our needs since we had since some of the sites the day before. I for sure would highly recommend him and this tour agency which was also very accommodating in returning several email questions prior to our booking.

Nishiki Market Walking Tour & Sake Tasting with Maki Sushi Roll Making

Cool experiencie, very funny and friendly guide!

Reviewed by: Patrick

We went as a couple to the market and sushi tour in Kyoto. To begin with the class takes you across the Kyoto Market area in wich you can taste, learn and see a lot of different stores, products, food, arts and crafts of culinary style. Along the way we tasted different things and had a quiz about the market at the end after learning a lot of the history. Afterwards we went to an old sake brewery where we tasted water from the well, 2 different types of sake and 2 types of homebrew beers, all of them delicious! And to finish off the day, we got to the cooking lessons where a couple of very friendly ladies took us tru the basics of some of the typical dishes in Japanese cooking like miso and cucumber salad, as well as making a sushi roll from scratch. It was a fun experiencie, the guide was very fun and friendly, all around a very pleasing tour, worth it if you are in Kyoto and are eager to see the market and understand some of the things that are not so easy to understand without a Japanese person explaining along the way!
