We had a very relaxed afternoon tour with Naoki our guide and very pleasant driver. Well worth the money if on a restricted time scale. We even got to taste saki for the first time. Naoki was a charming man who looked after us in a friendly way. Great set up MK Taxis.
Kyoto done right

This was a great experience! Our guide, Naoki, was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English and Japanese. He took us to hidden spots that were not very crowded but had beautiful cherry blossoms. This is the right way to experience Kyoto!
Amazing quick view of Kyoto history

We are a family of four from the US, with super limited time in Kyoto. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, he patiently explained many interesting facts to us. He was patient with our boys who were not easy to keep entertained. We visited the 1000 Buddha, the 1000 Torii gates, and a couple other historically beautiful sites. We were so happy with the guide and driver, such incredible caring and service. Highly recommend this tour package!
A pleasure to have two professionals guide us around Kyoto!

My wife and I had only an afternoon to spend in Kyoto, not nearly enough time, but that was all we could squeeze in to our busy travel schedule.
Having Naoki as our guide and Shinobu as our driver made it possible to visit several fantastic temples and shrines in a very time efficient manner. Naoki put the plan together with our input, and Shinobu got us to the sights quickly and smoothly. At each location, Naoki got us to the entrance, Shinobu got the entrance tickets, and Naoki showed us the important and interesting parts. Shinobu accompanied us when he could, acting as our assistant carrying our purchases. When Shinobu had to stay with the taxi, he brought it around to us when we were ready to move on to the next location. It was a beautiful operation, done with grace and style, and we enjoyed it all.
At the end of the tour, Naoki and Shinobu worked together to find the townhouse we had rented for the evening. It was not easily found, hidden down a small alleyway, but Naoki and Shinobu working together were able to find it.
Having the help of two professionals made a whirlwind visit to some of the sights in Kyoto possible. Obviously this is not the ideal way to see Kyoto, but we were able to maximize the time that we did have.
