• 4Personable Kyoto Guide

  Because we had a (way too) short cruise stop in Osaka, Ahmed made the most of our short time in Kyoto. He did a great job showing us around the Golden Temple, the market place & Geisha District. Even though we were a group of 5 it was a little difficult to hear him well because of how crowded the Temple & market were. A constructive suggestion would be providing a listening device for his clients.

• 5Well organized tour with enriching experiences

  I was grateful for how organized this tour was. The pick up from Osaka cruise terminal was perfect and our driver was efficient and flexible allowing us to see things off the beaten path. Tom our tour guide was very accommodating and gracious. We went during the Gion festivities in Kyoto and we got to see the floats which was a real thrill. The temples were spectacular. Kyoto itself is a very large city which surprised us, but they have managed to preserve the old city very well. Great tour which I highly recommend.

• 5Great day in Kyoto

  Ahmed our tour guide was wonderful. He was full of educational and historical information. He and our driver were attentive to our need to be back at our cruise ship port on time. If you are cruising Japan, I highly recommend you book private tours through Viator. Having your own private guide and driver is so much better, and often less expensive than booking tours thru the cruise ship. You have the personal touch with the guide and your own driver to where you are not shoved on a bus with 30 other people and one guide. If you're traveling this far to Japan, pay the extra money for a private guide.

• 5Irish Kyoto Krew

  This was a fantastic day trip around Kyoto. The booking was easy and our contacts at Viator (John and Brent) were very quick to respond to my last minute request and organised a vehicle for 8 travellers and a guide at midnight the night before we needed it. The driver was very professional and his vehicle was excellent. The guide (Noriko) was incredible. She was local and very knowledgable and answered out plethora of questions. She took us to 5 different locations including temples, forrests, stunning waterfront locations and 2 different maket and local shopping locations. We were thrilled with our day and could not fault it.

• 5Have Mariko introduce you to her city Kyoto

  We were picked up by car and driven from Kobe to Kyoto for a full day tour. Our tour guide Mariko met us at the first location. Mariko was excellent. She was not native to Japan but had one parent that was Japanese. She was raised in Canada but had moved to Kyoto many years ago. She was fluent in both English and Japanese. Mariko's knowledge of Japan and the culture was excellent. She gave wonderful commentary and was able to answer all our questions. A highlight was exploring an arcade street (shotengai) which is a covered pedestrian shopping, eatery street. Mariko was able to teach us Japanese etiquette and point out interesting food stalls that she personally recommended. We had an appointment at 2:30 for a komono wearing and a tea ceremony and she got us to the appointment right on time. This tour was a mix of walking and transferring to different sites via car. This worked well and was time efficient.

• 5We are on the Oceania in...

  We are on the Oceania in Japan and didn’t book a tour thru them , We waited for the last minute and went through Viator and found a last minute tour which turned out to be Fantastic, The guide was amazing she knew everything about Japan, Extremely knowledgeable, They supplied a great Driver with a nice spacious van as there were 4 of us, Was a long day but we saw probably more things than we would of seen if we took the tour thru the Ship, Plus much better Value, We would definitely use them again and recommend them to all , Much better experience than a Ship tour , Yes we did both and we can’t compare them, Viator is much better and professional

About Kobe

Kobe is a port city on Osaka Bay, set between the sea and the Rokko mountains, known for its beef, foreign-style hillside houses and hot springs.

Kobe is a long, narrow city squeezed between Osaka Bay and the Rokko Mountains, which rise steeply behind it. It opened as a treaty port in 1868, and its foreign merchants left a hillside district, Kitano, of European-style mansions, churches and cafés. Nankinmachi is a compact Chinatown. At the harbour, the red Port Tower and the Meriken Park waterfront look out over the bay.

Top-ranked sights in Kobe: Kobe Harborland, Kobe Port Tower, Kobe Maritime Museum.
