Car and driver was great. Beware no cell signal in airport location

Nice car. Good communication. Beware the cell reception in the airport is bad. Tried to WhatsApp the driver once we were out. Turns out he was waiting with my name on a sign but not in the area we exited. Tried for 15 mins to reach him but had no cell signal and so finally logged into airport WiFi Otherwise the pick up and car was great. Nice drive to hotel

Excellent and Professional Airport Transfer

We had an excellent experience with our driver, Yu. He contacted us in advance to confirm all the details, communicated clearly throughout, and was waiting for us exactly as promised. He was very friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the journey to Kyoto was smooth and relaxing. We would definitely recommend this service and would happily use it again. Thank you, Yu!

Reliable and fantastic!

Roy was understanding when we texted about the unexpected long line to go through customs. Also, responded quickly to all text messages. After exiting the customs area, he was easy to find. He helped with our luggage and gave us water immediately when we entered the vehicle. As we got closer to the destination, he told us about popular areas of shopping. When we arrived at the hotel he helped transport the luggage inside the lobby. He did not leave until he saw us walk into the building. He made our arrival easy and pleasurable.

Servicio 5 estrellas/ 5 star service

Excelente servicio de transportación desde el aeropuerto de Osaka hasta nuestro hotel en Kioto. El conductor fue muy amable y profesional desde el primer momento. Nos estaba esperando en el aeropuerto con un rótulo con nuestro nombre y se comunicó con nosotros el día antes para coordinar todo. También nos ayudó con nuestras maletas, lo cual hizo la llegada mucho más fácil. Durante el trayecto manejó de forma excelente, con mucho respeto y cuidado. En todo momento nos sentimos seguros y cómodos. Definitivamente un servicio de 5 estrellas. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Excellent transportation service from Osaka Airport to our hotel in Kyoto. The driver was very kind and professional from the start. He was waiting for us at the airport with a sign with our name on it and contacted us the day before to confirm all the details. He also helped us with our luggage, which made our arrival much easier. During the ride, he drove very safely and respectfully. At no point did we feel unsafe—everything was smooth and comfortable. Definitely a 5-star service. Highly recommended.

Our driver Ally was...

Our driver Ally was friendly, and communicative. He texted us both before our arrival and the day of our arrival keeping us up to date with his position. He was so helpful and friendly with our kids and made the drive easy and pleasant for all of us. The vehicle was spacious, clean, and wonderful to be in for our long ride from Osaka to Kyoto and we hope to have Ally as our driver again.
