Great shore excursion from Osaka - We had an unforgettable experience with Tad on our private tour from the Osaka cruise port to Kyoto. We left around 11:30 AM and returned by 9 PM, and every moment in between was perfectly planned. Tad was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city throughout the day. He built a wonderful itinerary based on our interests, making sure we saw both iconic sights and hidden gems. He always parked in the most convenient spots, which saved time and made everything so much easier. Tad also kindly took pictures for us along the way, helping us capture beautiful memories. Kyoto is a fabulous city, and experiencing it through this thoughtful and seamless tour made it even more special. We highly recommend booking with Tad—you won’t be disappointed!

Custom tour for those who like flexibility - Custom tour that allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted to see, with the least crowds possible. Our guide, Adria, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. He quickly came up with an itinerary that hit the spot 100%.

Fun tour of Kyoto - Adrian, our guide led our tour of Kyoto. We visited a number of shrines and walked through many street markets. We asked Adrian if we could visit areas away from the city and he took us to a beautiful bamboo forest. Adrian’s knowledge of Kyoto and its history was impressive. He was a lot of fun to be with and did a great job of taking us to sites in Kyoto we would not have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommended tour of Kyoto and shrines - We had a wonderful tour of Kyoto with our guide Jose. We focused on the shrines and got to visit all of the shrines on our list. Jose was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the Shinto and Buddhist traditions and Jose explained the history and significance of each shrine along with an explanation of the specific forms of rituals. We also learned a lot about Kyoto and Japanese culture. I highly recommend this tour with Jose.

Kyoto Daily Tours /Kyoto, Osaka & Tokyo Tours - Tania was our Tokyo guide. Laura was our Kyoto guide. Both were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experiences. I highly recommended Michael and his team of experts. Michael, the operations behind Kyoto Daily Tours was very responsive and has superior understanding and communication skills! You won't go wrong! Book here and know that you are going to get the most from your trip!

There isn't enough time... - There isn't enough time to cover all the places mentioned in the itinerary which took away the satisfaction of a good tour.
