Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Grover

We enjoyed every moment of this tour. It was well organized. The Kaiseki dinner was delicious. It gave us a taste of various kinds of Japanese traditional food. The Maiko dance was beautiful and captivating. After the dance, we had a short stroll at the very beautiful Japanese garden which was very enjoyable! The last brief stop of the tour was going to the top of a mountain to see the night view of Kyoto which ended the evening perfectly. We just found we hadn't had enough of all of it!

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

It was an Experience

Reviewed by: ARJ

The tour overalls was great. The tour guide did not speak English but we had audio recordings which were ok. The guide seemed to be talking way more than our recordings which made me wish that I could understand what she was saying. It was chilly up top so we made sure to have layers.

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

Awesome Tour de Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Lish

This tour was completely worth every penny! We got to see three major sights with the ease of door to door service. Not only was our driver, Fuji-san awesome, but he also gave great tours and we learned so much more than we would have if we walked around ourselves. I would recommend this plan to anyone especially in the heat of the summer and when you have a lot to see in a short amount of time.

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

Fun crash-course to the market, sake and sushi making!

Reviewed by: Heather

It was an interesting and fun crash-course through the market. We learned a lot of fun little facts along the route while we were picking up done ingredients for the sushi making part of the tour. It was nice to know what the various shops had along the way instead of just guessing.

The sake museum was a fun little experience and crash course about the history and making of sake. We got to taste some different sakes and rice beers, and my fiancé and I purchased their best bottle of sake and some yuzu as well from the museum.

Finally the sushi making was very fun and entertaining. We got to put together the ingredients for our sushi meal and it all came out very nicely. We even got a little cookbook to keep as well.

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

Very nice prívate limousine tour!

Reviewed by: Heather

Our driver Ken was very nice, courteous and very knowledgeable about the different places we asked him to take us. We were happily surprised that he spoke English very well and he was able to answer a lot of the questions we had about various places along the drive and at our various destinations. The car we drove in was spacious, comfortable and very tidy. We booked the limousine tour for 6 hours and we were able to see all the various destinations shown in the pictures. We even got to walk on an hour hike, started at one point and we coordinated with him the pickup point at the end of the trail. It was a great experience.

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

Couldn't hear what the guide said

Reviewed by: Barbara

When we were on the coach I was sat at the front and could hear everything the guide said. Once we were at the shrines the group was too big for most of us to hear. Many people just wandered off on their own because they were not benefitting from the guide's input. If you were close to her it was possible to hear but there were too many of us for this to be possible. I enjoyed the shrines but could just have easily made my own way there as I learnt nothing much from the guide.

Big impression on visitors

Reviewed by: Imai Fukiko

My husband's family came to visit Kyoto all the way from America, so I booked this service.
The driver was perfectly on time and was really great at accommodating our requests. There was also a full guide in addition to the driver, a huge help. They mixed in jokes and tour guiding, making everyone feel really welcome. I'm going to use this again next time, and I want to recommend it to my friends.

一つ、気になったことは、今回、外国人のアテンドをお願いしていたので、名札が英語表記のものをつけてくれるとよかったなぁと、思います。外国人だけのときとかもあると思うので、検討材料にいれていただければ、幸いです。

It was very good

Reviewed by: Hiro Iwahashi

It was a short time but the driver Ichiro took us to many places. My guests from the United States were really happy. I plan to use this service again. The only unfortunate thing was one of my guests forget their folding umbrella in the car. I had expected it would be sent on to the hotel without my saying anything, but that didn't happen. However, it was our mistake, so I guess it couldn't be helped.
