Kyoto and Nara tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Ali was an exceptional tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic day exploring Kyoto and Nara. He took us to some stunning spots and provided valuable insights into the area's history and culture. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Ali as your guide. He made the experience truly unforgettable.

Nara

Published on Nov, 2024

Our driver, Ali, was very informative, polite, and helpful. While we enjoyed the template, Nara, we did not really enjoy the balance of it. We absolutely love the visit to the Tanaji temp train. I think that I hate her should attempt to provide recommended time frames for visiting the different Places

Our awesome Kyoto and Nara trip

Published on Oct, 2024

This package was everything we had asked for and more. We had a wonderful time visiting the tori gates and Nara dear park. A word about our awesome driver Mr.Hamza who was courteous and patient with us despite the places being overcrowded. All said I would take this tour again if I revisit Japan.

Fun and amazing day with Ali

Published on Sep, 2024

Ali our driver and host did an amazing job picking us up at the Osaka port and taking us on a whirlwind but exciting tour of Nara and Kyoto. We were watched over with great care and we won’t hesitate to recommend him as a guide for future trips to Osaka and Kyoto! Thanks Ali for a fun but short visit!

Great Experience!!!
