We had a private transport to the International Airport in Kyoto and the service was excellent. Our car arrived on time, very clean and comfortable. Our driver spoke English and was quite pleasant. The weather was terrible that morning with heavy rain but the driver was so careful and got us there safely. Highly recommend.

It got the job done.

Ashley_F, May 2024

It got the job done and the car was nice. The driver was silent the whole time and no ask of A/C or music. According to my suggested route. She took a much much longer route than needed.

Great, convenient service!

JeanMarie_N, Apr 2024

Car was early to arrive, clean and comfortable, driver was polite and communicated about the trip clearly, and got us to the airport with our many bags and zero stress. Thank you!

Our driver went above and...

Lyn_K, Apr 2024

Our driver went above and beyond to help us since our air bnb was on a street too narrow for the van. The driver walked to our air bnb and helped us with our luggage. We enjoyed his service.

Great

Heather_C, Apr 2024

The driver had good communication, was on time and drove us there in a timely manner. We would use this service again

Great way to get from Kyoto to Osaka airport

tiffanyrhiannon, Apr 2024

Great driver. He was on time and drove safely and swiftly. Definitely a great way to get from Kyoto to Osaka airport.

Driver used phone while driving

Rebecca_D, Apr 2024

The driver used her phone during the drive. I believe she was texting and on social media. She had ear buds in and also spoke on the phone with someone while driving. I think that she also missed a turn and we went a longer way. (I was in the front seat and could see the GPS screen). Fortunately, we had the time and did not miss our flight. The car was clean and had plenty of room. If you get a different driver, the service is probably fine. I did not get the driver’s name. The driver was clean and well dressed. She was basically on time (a couple of minutes late). She responded to a text to say she was on the way. I tried to contact the operator to pass along my comments privately but they did not respond so I posted the review.

Safe and pleasant journey to the airport

Smooth trip

Julie_C, Mar 2024

Smooth ride - didn't worry about quantity of luggage or navigating public transportation. It's really expensive but at the end, was worth it

The private shuttle saves...

John_C, Mar 2024

The private shuttle saves you the stress of that train station which can be overwhelming when you have a flight to catch . Well worth the money ! 😀

Great service! On time...

Good transportation to KIX airport

Kyle_M, Dec 2023

The driver was great from our Kyoto hotel to KIX airport. Communication was clear via WhatsApp. The driver was safe during heavy traffic.

Good service

Zetong_G, Nov 2023

Good service, got to airport in time without too much traffic. There was a hiccup in arrival of driver that I wish the company could’ve informed us of earlier so we weren’t scrambling to contact them in case there were issues with the booking.

Way to lessen travel stress

Calvin_L, Oct 2023

Traveling to unfamiliar areas combined with not knowing the language is stressful. Having arranged transportation helps to relieve the stress. Will do this again. It was well worth the money.

Comfortable Transfer

PILHWAN_L, Oct 2023

Safe driving, with Kind smile. Comfortable Transfer in Clean & Spacious car. Driver was waiting before the time I booked/ with my name on card. Actual time to destination was as informed.

Highly recommended

Lisa_B, Oct 2023

Brilliant service, very competitively priced. Exceeded our expectations by assisting us when we made a mistake with our booking. Excellent communication throughout.

Great experience, Thank you.

Farshid_R, Sep 2023

The curtesy with which my driver managed to get through the traffic jam! and get me to the airport safely.

Great communiation, friendly driver, clean van.

Katie_H, Aug 2023

Booking the private driver from Kyoto to KIX was easy and they are very easy to communicate with. The driver was friendly and the van was clean. Highly recommend especially if you have a lot of luggage.

Bad

Leslie_F, Aug 2023

The most memorable part was the awful smell of the car. The smell of cigarette smoke was overpowering. Got out of the car and smelled like you had been in a bar as opposed to a tour car. The driver rarely put down her phone, was always on some form of social media. This was very disappointing, considering viatours was pushed by my credit card company. Pay a few dollars and use Uber- they have real standards!
