Rosemary, Thanks so much for this lovely review! Truly made me blush :) While I'm a little jealous of Michael & Maki's budding bromance, your kind words (actually my first ever review!) have really made my year (already! ;) While I don't venture out of the office that much, the praise that you've showered me with makes me feel much more confident the next time I'm called out! :) Of course most of the work of your tour was down to Maki, but I'll steal a little bit of credit where I can. Hope that you & Michael got round to watching 'Lost In Translation', and that you're already secretly (or not so secretly) planning your return to Kyoto! And in the meantime, if your friends do end up coming over, please be sure to let me know in advance ;) Have a great 2023!

BugheadBee, Thank you SO MUCH for your heartwarming tale of our outstanding service on that scary blizzard day a few weeks ago! After a little digging, I found that your 'above & beyond' driver was Mr.Hashimoto, and his colleague who assisted his translation to you on the phone was Mr.Nakamura. Both of them were SO HAPPY that you took time to write this great review, and praise their professional customer service! It has been shared through the company, and their bosses have taken note of it. It's these qualities that Mr Hashimoto & Mr.Nakamura embody that makes us so proud of them as a company, and it is great to hear that they could please such wonderful customers as yourselves. Of course we would love to show you even more of our outstanding customer service next time you come to Japan, but maybe in a slightly warmer season ;) Best Regards

The perfect pairing indeed! Kyoto MK's Shozo Saka & the Beautiful Kyoto City!! THANKS SO MUCH, Kirsten. We really appreciate you spending the time to write your impressions of your FANTASTIC 6 hour tour with Kyoto MK. All of our Hire Drivers have their own styles, but a quick glance at this page will testify to how many people Mr.Saka has charmed with his knowledge, attitude, skillful guiding and of course his impeccable dress sense (a point often overlooked, but still mightily important, I'm sure all flygirls agree ;) We are SO happy that you enjoyed your first experience with Shozo, but rest assured, Kyoto, like all classic cities, can be explored for a lifetime and STILL enchant & enthrall at every turn. And of course, Kyoto MK is MORE than happy to take you further on that journey of discovery, when you are able make it back here again. We're waiting for you!!

Jonathanw, We really appreciate your positive review of Nobutaka Katsura's guided tour! Thanks so much :) To hear how he impressed with his professional manner, language skills and vast knowledge of Kyoto's famous landmarks made us very proud. And the fact that he could also please with his delicious ramen recommendation put a smile on our faces. Superb review for a Superb driver!! Thanks again ;)

Rohenne, Thanks very much for using our private car service twice, and taking the time to write this glowing review! Its really nice to hear that not only our famous drivers, but also our unsung heroines of the booking department gained your praise! Yes indeed, choosing our private taxi service in Kyoto will not only save you time and stress, but you'll be able to find out so many things that you didn't know about our wonderful city. We REALLY recommend taking a guide next time if the chance allows, and then you'll be able to enjoy your time here EVEN more! :) Thanks again!!

Norikoa, Thanks very much for your kind review! It's great to imagine our driver/guide doing their best to give you the best possible tour of Kyoto on the last day of last year, just to make it EXTRA memorable for you! Thanks for taking the time to write this, and we look forward to welcoming you back again someday :)
