A Comfortable and Personalized Day for Our Family of 5
My family of five had an excellent experience with this tour company. From the beginning, they helped us plan a day that was accessible and comfortable for our 90-year-old grandmother, who has difficulty with steep or elevated terrain.
Our guide arrived exactly on time, was warm and friendly, and thoughtfully adapted the itinerary as our needs changed throughout the day. Because the tour was private and personalized, we were able to visit far more sites than we likely could have managed on our own, while avoiding the stress of navigating the city independently.
The entire experience was comfortable, well organized, and perfectly suited to our family. We would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible, personalized tour, especially families traveling with elderly relatives.

Kyoto Must Do
Marriott Activities booking agent was VERY POOR but when we got on the tour Shan, our driver and guide, was terrific. We had a full day and got in all the sites.
Book with Shan - avoid Marriott Activities booking agent.

A total game-changer for our Kyoto trip ❤️
A total game-changer for our Kyoto trip!
We had a rough idea of what we wanted to see, but he basically tweaked our itinerary on the fly so we avoided the insane midday crowds at Kiyomizu-dera.
The minivan itself was super spacious and spotless—getting into that blast of AC after sweating outside all morning was heavenly, lol. He didn't rush us at all and even gave us some awesome dinner recommendations for later that weren't just tourist traps. It felt way less like a stiff, boring guided tour and more like having a local friend drive you around their home city. 10/10 would book again in a heartbeat. Don't even hesitate!"

The absolute best way to experience Kyoto!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The absolute best way to experience Kyoto!
"Honestly, if you're trying to figure out how to see Kyoto without spending your whole day waiting for crowded buses, just book this. It was worth every single cent.
Our driver was incredibly kind, spoke great English, and made the whole day feel super relaxed. We managed to hit all the big spots like the Golden Pavilion and Fushimi Inari at the perfect times to beat the worst of the crowds. But the coolest part was when our driver took us to a couple of quiet, hidden spots and an amazing local lunch place that definitely weren't on our original list.
It completely saved our feet, took away all the stress of navigating, and felt like exploring the city with a local friend. Couldn't recommend it more!"

Best way to experience kyoto in one day
We had a great experience on this private Kyoto tour. The best part was that we could customize the itinerary and visit the places we wanted to see. This made the trip more enjoyable and personal.
Our driver was professional, punctual, and very friendly. The vehicle was comfortable, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The atmosphere throughout the day was relaxed and pleasant.
We also visited many beautiful and memorable places, often without large crowds. It was a wonderful way to explore Kyoto at our own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stress-free and customized Kyoto tour

Beautiful Kyoto
Beautiful experience exploring Kyoto attractions with our tour guide Shan. He was very respectful and adjusting. Despite bad weather we were able to see most of the major attractions. His car was very comfortable.
