Our tour guide Tetsuya was thoughtful throughout. He accommodated our schedule and preferences. My kids loved the cool Japanese snacks and origami. Highly recommended as a transportation plus sightseeing to/from Osaka airport to Kyoto!

Private Garden Tour in Tokyo with Shuji
We had a wonderful private garden tour with Shuji! He was excellent at explaining the history of the gardens and showing us the best sections to see if interest. He arranged a lovely lunch for us with vegetarian options for me. I highly recommend this tour!

Outstanding Osaka and Kyoto Tour with Samurai Tours!
We had a wonderful 2 days of touring with Samurai tours!! Tetsuya and Sayaka were fantastic guides!! Very courteous, attentive and provided the best advice for how to approach and enjoy the gardens we wanted to see. They suggested additional attractions and took us to the optimum viewing areas. We could not have had a better time and so appreciated their local knowledge and expert advice! We highly recommend Tetsuya and Dayaka of Samurai Tours!!

Stress Free way to Tour Kyoto
Nice way to customize a tour around the city without the stress of figuring out transportation for a tight schedule. Booked from a cruise ship in Kobe and "T" met us at the gate with a big smile. Good communication with your company prior to arriving to get recommendations and arrange where to visit. He provided us an AirTagto hold while exploring. the sites in our own and quickly met us once we were close to finishing. Made recommendations for photo spots and things to see along the way as well. We visited Kyoto (classic Japan but very crowded), monkey hill (fun with kids), and the bamboo forest. T was a good and safe driver. Yes, parts of this tour could be arranged on your own by a train, but this removed all the stress and let us enjoy the city.

Great tour! Would use again!
Great tour! T and S were awesome hosts and guides, providing us with lots of recommended options, time at our desired places, maps, and commentary. They helped us pick a lunch place and got us a table with no wait. Very helpful and good driving, too! Easy pickup at the port. Total our entire tour was abougt 7 hours, and included a tea ceremony. Two of our folks didn't want to do the tea ceremony, so they got more time at the park.
They suggested that we buy the Osaka Castle tickets online to save us time, and they were right! There was quite the line to get them on site. Highly recommend them. They even had bottled water, small snacks, oragami, and wet washcloths for us to use in the car. Also, provided wi-fi and an air tag so they couldn't lose us.
Nice, 7 person van (5 plus 2 guides). Very comfy and roomy for the 4 of us on our trip.

T and S were great guides on our Osaka Tour
The weather forecast in Kobe was rain and wind. We elected to go to Osaka where the weather forecast was better. Their vehicle fit 4 passengers, a wheelchair, and walker. Having a custom tour through Viator was much better than the ship sponsored tour where there was no flexibility. The Osaka Castle was great. And they really were accommodating to wheelchairs. Our shopping urge was satisfied at the Grand Front mall where we had lunch. We needed to a pharmacy to get some medication and a to a convenience store. Then ended up at Tsūtenkaku Tower in the Shinsekai District. Got back in plenty of time before departure. Using the Viator app was easy and mad communication with the guides easy.

I was so excited that I...
I was so excited that I was able to book another private tour with Mr. T and his assistant. They are really top tour guides! Mr. T would pull up to the front door of where we were going and his assistant would jump out of the car with and go us to help us show us the way. Then after the tour she would be waiting for us and she would call Mr. T and he would come with the car. They had water and snacks for us which was wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend a tour with him and his mini van was really nice and clean. I’m very thankful I was able to get him for the two days one in Nara and the other day in Kokyo. He picks up from the cruise port which was also a blessing because so many of them don’t.
You won’t be disappointed if you book with him and he communicates in English perfect!

Detailed guide
I can’t say enough positive things about T and his assistant. The communication with them before we arrived in Japan was excellent. It was a private 8 hour tour so he asked us what we would like to do plus he recommended things. He never rushed us and always showed us were to go and how to get there so we don’t waste time. He also put a air tag in my pocket so he could find us if we got lost because Nara and Osaka are very large cities with a lot of people. T was always answering all our questions about his country and he’s very knowledgeable.
They shared their favorite food and restaurants. He’s just a excellent guide that I would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.
