Hidden Gems Of Osaka Kyoto Nara - Private Car Tour By Local Guide

100% worth it. Would book Daiki again. Very informative and helpful. Can’t stop talking about how great it was

Our tour guide was very friendly, entertaining and informative. We had a great afternoon of sightseeing in a relaxing environment. It was great to get out of the city and see other points of interest including the bamboo forest, nature walks to hidden shrines and the lantern temple. We ended the evening at a shrine with uninterrupted views of Osaka - amazing! An added bonus was the hotel pick-up and drop-off for the tour making things very easy for our group.

This was an amazing tour that went to some incredible places. Daiki-さん has truly discovered some really cool treasures. The first site was popular with tourists and locals but still really great! And so out of the way we would never have made it there on our own. The other places were truly hidden treasures! We were the only people at these other places - great god trees, temples and shrines, glowing lanterns, ancient bells and clear water pools for purification. And Daiki- さん is also a treasure! Do knowledgeable and willing to share what he knows, so considerate and kind, so flexible. He was an amazing guide and host, and enjoyed each trip as much as we did! We will definitely take other tours with him when we are back in Osaka.

This was a great experience. The temples were beautiful and the night tours were fantastic. Thanks Daiki for all the great detail and information sessions.

Best tour guide I have ever had. He had tons of historical information but also answers all my questions about the Japanese culture in general. I liked that he was quick and effective in every spot because we got to see a lot in a limited amount of time. Both of the tours we did with him were special and insightful. We are a family of four we fit comfortably in his van and our luggage fit seamlessly. I highly recommend this tour provider.

Daiki was an amazing tour guide. He shared a lot of knowledge about Japanese history and culture. Things you can't find in books. We went to the best places in Kyoto, and I was thankful he was an excellent driver. The streets are very narrow and the traffic was overwhelming. He even found some cherry and plum trees blooming early so we felt like we got the full experience!

Highly recommend! This was our favourite tour over our 2 week trip to Japan. Daiki was our guide and it was seamless from the moment I booked. Communication was easy via phone and Daiki catered to our needs for the entire trip, stopping to get treats and food along the way. The kids loved having Daiki as our tour guide and private van. Daiki was very knowledgeable and friendly. The places we visited were amazing and something we wouldn’t have done easily on our own especially visiting the temples/ shrines around dusk. It was incredibly beautiful. I would recommend this tour to any and all travelers.

Daiki is a very great guide. He is really funny and take you cool places. A different way of traveling tk Osaka and its surrounding.

We have never been to Japan before so booked this tour to getbaround t9 some of the hidden gems as the tour suggests. We were not disappointed this was a highlight of our trip . We were able to leisurely get to places that were literally hidden gems and that were not over crowded and we were able to get some beautiful photos. Our guide was Daiki he was so knowledgeable and we had some good conversations around Japan or country and the old and new. I would recommend this tour if you really do want to get the unique and hidden gem Japan . Thankyou Daiki we had a great time . If you are ever in Southwet England then please do give us a shout and ee can take you around for the day

This tour was absolutely fabulous! Breathtaking views, beautiful temples and shrines that sometimes, in the evening, you get to explore almost on your own, without the masses of other tourists. Daiki is a brilliant tour guide: very kind and generous, funny and knowledgeable, he did a wonderful job explaining the background of the spots we visited and so much more. I loved his passion for the places we visited, his patience and easygoing attitude. Thank you!

Great experience my husband and son loved the tour. The host was great, and conveniently dropped them at train station after tour for the bullet train back to Toyko. Awesome time had in Osaka & Kyoto.

This was a wonderful tour! So great seeing places without mass tourists/crowds---and the places were beautiful! Daiki was a great guide with lots of information on each location. I would definitely recommend this tour!

The places we went to not that busy, which was nice as I wanted to avoid some of the touristy places. Most of the questions I had surrounding the places we went to or the religious aspects of them, were answered right away. A few Daiki had to search up as they were a bit more obscure. No matter what he gave clear answers and if I didn't fully understand the answer he tried to explain it using metaphors. Apart from that I was able to have a nice conversation in general with Daiki. He's knowledgeable about quite a bit and has a friendly personality. Overall it's a good tour to go on alone or with a group. The surrounding areas are nice, views great and the locations have interesting stories behind them.

The highlight of our Osaka trip! Daiki organized a fantastic tour off the beaten path, which meant less crowds and none of the "touristy" stuff. The temples and shrines we visited provided the best views, the most appropriate atmosphere and Daiki provided a great background to all of it. Definitely a must next time you visit Osaka. Thanks Daiki! Don't forget that ninja tour!
