This was a fantastic day trip around Kyoto. The booking was easy and our contacts at Viator (John and Brent) were very quick to respond to my last minute request and organised a vehicle for 8 travellers and a guide at midnight the night before we needed it. The driver was very professional and his vehicle was excellent. The guide (Noriko) was incredible. She was local and very knowledgable and answered out plethora of questions. She took us to 5 different locations including temples, forrests, stunning waterfront locations and 2 different maket and local shopping locations. We were thrilled with our day and could not fault it.

A wonderfully beautiful day of visiting lasting about 10 hours, with an excellent French-speaking guide, Terry! The vehicle was impeccable. The guide was attentive to our preferences and areas of interest. Everything went as planned; the welcome, etc. We will highly recommend Terry to any visitor who wishes to explore Kyoto on foot, by bike, or by car.

We were picked up by car and driven from Kobe to Kyoto for a full day tour. Our tour guide Mariko met us at the first location. Mariko was excellent. She was not native to Japan but had one parent that was Japanese. She was raised in Canada but had moved to Kyoto many years ago. She was fluent in both English and Japanese. Mariko's knowledge of Japan and the culture was excellent. She gave wonderful commentary and was able to answer all our questions. A highlight was exploring an arcade street (shotengai) which is a covered pedestrian shopping, eatery street. Mariko was able to teach us Japanese etiquette and point out interesting food stalls that she personally recommended. We had an appointment at 2:30 for a komono wearing and a tea ceremony and she got us to the appointment right on time. This tour was a mix of walking and transferring to different sites via car. This worked well and was time efficient.

We are on the Oceania in Japan and didn’t book a tour thru them , We waited for the last minute and went through Viator and found a last minute tour which turned out to be Fantastic, The guide was amazing she knew everything about Japan, Extremely knowledgeable, They supplied a great Driver with a nice spacious van as there were 4 of us, Was a long day but we saw probably more things than we would of seen if we took the tour thru the Ship, Plus much better Value, We would definitely use them again and recommend them to all , Much better experience than a Ship tour , Yes we did both and we can’t compare them, Viator is much better and professional

The guide was very good and the tour was excellent. However don’t make the same mistake I did about paying an additional 120000 yen for the car and driver. The tour organiser did not txt until it was too late to cancel the tour.

7 of us spent an amazing day with Ahmed in Kyoto. Prior to the trip communication was excellent and on the day our driver was right there when we got off the boat. Ahmed was so knowledgable about everywhere we visited, took great photos of our group and knew exactly where to take us to avoid crowds where possible. I cannot recommend this tour enough it was absolutely five star. Thank you Ahmed !
