Milkyway Tour is The Best in Osaka - We had a great time with Asfand on our Kyoto private tour. He picked us up from our hotel in Osaka and arranged the itinerary so we could see all the great tourist spots like Nara, Fushimi Inari, and Arashiyama. He even allowed us to bring our luggage and dropped us off at our new hotel in Kyoto. It was a great way to see all the sights without the hassles of taking a train to each one. We would highly recommend this tour.

Awesome! - Ali took us to amazing spots. He was flexible and made sure we went to all the spots we wanted to see. Nara, bamboo forest, and great lunch recommendations were a hit with my family.

Private Tour of Kyoto (Nara Park and Arashiyama)! - We took a tour with Imran Khan and he was absolutely amazing! Highlights of the tour were the Nara Park, Arashiyama (Bamboo Forest), Todaj-ji Temple, Fushimi Shrine. Imran was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about what we were seeing. Our group took a private tour with Imran and he was able to tailor the tour to what we were most interested in and recommend an appropriate amount of time to spend at each stop based on what we wanted to see. As well, Imran was very prompt and responsive to our communications prior and during the tour. Imran clearly knows the different sites and how to make the most out of a tour. Would recommend Imran to anyone coming to Kyoto for the first time or returning!

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 - 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 - 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 - 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!

Amazing day trip with Ali - My wife and I had an amazing day trip today from Osaka visiting both Nora and Kyoto. Ali, our guide for the day made sure we had every comfort possible while visiting these amazing cities. We were able to see the key highlights in each of the areas and do so in comfort and style as we went from site to site. Ali ensured we had intimate local knowledge of each of the areas so we could better understand. This tour is five out of five stars but with Ali, it’s six out of five stars.

We had a private driver but not a tour guide - Our driver Abdullah was an hour late, due to which he claimed was an emergency company meeting but did not let us know until 8:05am. We were supposed to start the tour at 8:00. Unfortunately, the car (which we would drive around in all day) also reeked of smoke.
I hoped that as a “tour guide”, the guide would be telling us all about the areas we were seeing, starting off with Osaka (like Osaka Castle). He didn’t. He just drove us straight to Nara.
I was surprised that he didn’t get out of the car to actually give us a tour. He just dropped us off and said he was going to stay in the car. Since I was expecting a private tour, I didn’t do any research beforehand on the areas we were visiting.
Same for the Bamboo Forest and the Torii Gates. I would’ve preferred a tour guide to show us around since that’s what we had signed up for.
