Your cruise docks in Osaka or Kobe, but Kyoto is on your must-see list?
Visit Kyoto without the stress of navigating trains, transfers, or planning how to get back to your ship on time.
Before the tour, we’ll message you to learn what you want to see, your preferred pace, and any special requests. Based on your interests and cruise schedule, we’ll suggest a Kyoto day trip tailored to you and plan the itinerary together.
On the day, a private chauffeur-driven vehicle will pick you up directly at the port. Explore Kyoto with a Japanese guide born and raised in Kyoto, while your dedicated driver takes care of private car transportation throughout the day.
Enjoy a flexible itinerary designed for your group, with your return to the cruise port planned around your ship’s departure time.
