“We had such a great day with our guide Ali. He was very informative and engaging. He was very helpful & accommodating, he even rang through & made a restaurant reservation for us during our ride back to the hotel due to the language barrier. We had such a great day in Kyoto and had the opportunity to see all the places on our list. I have no hesitation in recommending this private tour if your time in Kyoto is limited. Hopefully you too will have Ali as your guide.”

“Talha was our guide and he was punctual, pleasant, helpful, very flexible with our requests for stops at convenience stores and adding on a stop when requested. Only problem was space in the car. There were 6 of us in total but 3 sat in the back seat and it was a bit squishy. Otherwise we had wonderful day with him.”

“What a great experience learning how to make different types of sushi! Okashi made the experience lots of fun! Dressing up in traditional Japanese clothes and learning words and actions to make traditional sushi. I would recommend for anyone no matter what your cooking skills are!”

“Nomi was awesome. He is knowledgeable, fun and flexible. He provided curious facts and rich history details to every place we visited. He makes the tour a great adventure full of memorias tour treasure. He gave us great recommendations and a day-experience we will never forget!! Best tour of Kyoto with a bunch of hidden gems!!!”

“Best place to see all themajor sights at the comfort of a private car with your own tour guide. We got picked up on time and our guide “Ravi” was our driver and tour guide. He drove us to all the sights and explained what we were seeing. He Read more”

“Craig was an incredible guide! Such great stories that made visiting the sights so much richer! A cool bakery and coffee at his treasured spots made it even better. Great sense of humor and so accommodating for what we needed. Thanks, Craig!”

“Our tour guide, Coco and driver, Mine were excellent. They were very accommodating and helped us every step of the way. We were happy to see the popular tourist sites in Kyoto.”

“I’m a tour operator who works with Arigato Japan and was thrilled to partake in one of their tours on a business trip. Thomás, my guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. We checked out very local places that would be difficult to find as a non resident. Thank you for a wonderful and delicious evening!”
