Best day tour of Kyoto - Daiki Was the BEST guide, really knowledgeable and took us to the most beautiful places around Kyoto. We went in a super busy period yet he managed to take us to places in the bamboo Forrest and shrines with barely any tourists. We will 100% book with Daiki again, very professional and spoke great English :)

Amazing! - What I like the most is the Arashimaya Bamboo Forest. The operator was knowledgeable about the different sites and was even flexible if you want to viist other sites aside from what is listed in his Itinerary. I will definitely recommend this to my friends in the Philippines.

The best Kyoto tour! - Our private tour with Daiki Fukashi was a wonderful way to spend the day in Kyoto. He was very easy to communicate with arranging our tour and pick up location. Daiki has such an easy going and friendly personality. It felt very natural to talk to him and ask him questions about Kyoto and beyond. He shared such great information with us about all of the sights we went to, not only was he versed in the history, but he was very knowledgable on the deeper meaning and ritual behind what we were seeing and experiencing. We packed in a lot in the time that we had, including a spectacular view of Kyoto at night. We ended our day just hanging out and having a meal together and getting to know each other better. We would definitely recommend Daiki's tour to anyone who is looking for a catered experience and a deeper look into Kyoto history and culture.

Great efficient way to see the sites - A wonderful way to see the sites in Kyoto. Our tune was limited in Kyoto & this made all the difference. Thanks Daiki.

Awesome! Highly recommended! - A very memorable experience! Operator/guide speaks English and was such a safe driver. We were thrilled and grateful that he toured us to the hidden spots - accessible via private cars and known to locals only. We were a family of 4 and this particular tour charges per vehicle and not per person. Very reasonable and extremely convenient! You don’t have to worry about commuting and getting lost. Highly recommended! Likely to sell out so book your Osaka annd Kyoto tours early!

Kyoto and countryside - The late afternoon and early evening tour of Kyoto. I am so glad I didn't miss this. It was beautiful and not crowded and our guide was the best!

Great trip and amazing driver - A amazing experience, saw and experienced places we didn’t even know existed and aside from the exspected crowds at the golden temple nothing was to packed. We especially loved the 1000 gates, going at night made it so much better then we even imagined with way less people

Less than half - Our tour guide’s name is Daiki Daiki was about 10 minutes late picking us up. The advertised itinerary (8 locations): Rokuon—ji temple (golden temple), Arashiyama Bamboo Grove (didn’t go, too crowded), Tenryu-ji Temple (closed at 4:30pm), Giouji Temple, Otagi Nenbutsu-ji temple (closed at 4:30pm), Arashiyama Takao Parkway (never went but probably drove past and didn’t get pointed out), Fushimi Inari Taisha (too dark to take pictures), and Shogunzuka Seiryuden Temple (closed at 4:30pm). Places we actually visited (5 locations): Rokuon-ji temple, Adashino Nenbutsuji temple, Giou-ji temple, Nishiki Market, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. It was a cold day and rained for the second half of the tour. My group was tired and miserable so we opted not to continue after Fushimi Inari Taisha. Had the weather been nicer, my group probably would have liked to see the city view from the higher mountain top. Pro: 1) Daiki came prepared with umbrellas for each person 2) super nice and talk-a-time 3) we got to see monkeys at the Giou-ji temple 4) clean van for up to 6 passengers + 1 driver 5) never rushed us, but probably should have so we could see everything listed on itinerary. 6) Nishiki market was alternative to visiting the temples that closed at 4:30pm. Cons: 1) didn’t get to see about 50% of the listed itinerary. Not enough time to visit each site throughly 2) very broken English Luckily my group had 2 Japanese speaking friends who would better translate for us what was going on. I chose to give it a 4 star because my group looked like they were having a good time. Lots of laughs and smiles. It was expected of us to pay our own admission tickets and any parking fees that were required. This was also the cheapest tour I could find on Viator. The price definitely represents the quality.
