Our tour guide Ben went... - Our tour guide Ben went above and beyond our expectations when it comes to tour guides. And thanks to his tour guide trainee, Yuhey for the help. He gave us so much knowledge about the culture. And he made us enjoyed Kyoto and Nara every minute that we were there. This is indeed recommended to book a tour, avoid the chaos using the public transpo, the crowd, especially when it is your first time visiting Japan. It was really a big help that we have our own van especially we have a toddler. We can also travel at our own phase. Out time in Japan became even more memorable. Kudos to our tour guide.

Book the tour with Somei!!!! - THE BEST TOUR! We had the best time with our guide, Somei! We explored beautiful parts of Kyoto & Nara while learning so many things about the history and architecture. It was such a wonderful day! I was worried about taking a 5 year old for a full day but she had so much fun! Somei interacted with her and made sure to do stuff that she wanted to do too. We all had such a wonderful time and loved seeing the beautiful photos that Somei captured! Book the tour..... it's worth it!

Kyoto & Nara day with Somei! - This tour was absolutely amazing! Every place we visited was breathtaking, but what truly made the experience special was our guide, Somei. He was such a blessing—by the end of the day, he felt like part of our family. His knowledge, kindness, and warmth made the entire experience unforgettable. It was truly a wonderful day spent together, and I couldn’t recommend it more!

Tour with Ben - Yujirio who went by Ben was awesome. Very knowledgeable and knew all the great spots for everything you want to see without the crowds. He was super patient because we had our toddler with us. We had him for the day but time was never an issue. Highly recommend a day with him. Thanks again Ben

Excellent Kyoto–Nara Private Tour with Lewis - We had a fantastic private Kyoto and Nara tour with Lewis, who collected us directly from our hotel. He was extremely knowledgeable, shared great insights into the history and culture of each site, and tailored the day perfectly to our pace and interests. Everything ran smoothly and stress‑free. Highly recommend Lewis if you’re looking for a professional, informative, and enjoyable private tour.
