Real Customer Reviews

Genuine Feedback and Support from Our Guests

  • Mr. Huang (Family Trip) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Took the whole family to Yufuin for a hot spring bath. The car was new and the seats were comfortable, so the elderly didn't feel tired at all even on a long journey! Our driver and guide, Xiao Chen, was very familiar with the local area and took us to an amazing hidden wagyu restaurant, helping us avoid the long queues at tourist spots. We didn't have to worry about transportation at all!

    Itinerary: Fukuoka ➔ Yufuin ➔ Beppu Hot Spring Day Trip

  • Mrs. Lam (Three generations traveling together) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The best decision for this Kyushu trip was to hire a private car! The steps at Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine were a bit challenging for the elders, but the driver was very patient, helping them walk and carrying their bags the whole way. He even offered to take a family photo for us, and his skills were better than my own – highly recommended!

    Itinerary: Fukuoka Departure ➔ Kumamoto Castle ➔ Aso Volcano Day Trip

  • Mr. Xie (New Parents with Baby)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We were very worried about traveling with our 2-year-old. When we booked the car, customer service proactively noted a free child safety seat. The driver drove very steadily, and our little one slept soundly in the car. The driver also took the initiative to help us load and unload the stroller. The car was equipped with drinking water and charging cables – excellent attention to detail.

    Itinerary: Fukuoka ➔ Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine ➔ Kyushu Natural Zoological Park

  • Ms. Chen (Group of 4 Best Friends)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Four people with four 28-inch large suitcases, the 7-seater Alphard had super spacious room, and we sat comfortably! The driver and guide spoke fluent Chinese throughout, sharing interesting stories about Japan with us along the way. He also recommended a hidden ramen stall (yatai) in Hakata that only locals know about, which was much more delicious than the网红 shops, and great for photos!

    Itinerary: Fukuoka Port pickup ➔ Dazaifu ➔ Tenjin Shopping

  • Mr. Gao (Friends' Graduation Trip)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We proposed a very demanding custom itinerary, and customer service patiently helped us optimize the schedule, even providing suggestions for the hot spring ryokan we stayed at. The driver was punctual, and his driving skills were excellent; we felt completely at ease even when he was driving on mountain roads on the snowy day in Kurokawa Onsen. We will definitely book again next time we visit Kyushu.

    Itinerary: Kyushu Custom 5-Day Tour (Fukuoka/Kurokawa/Kagoshima)

  • Ms. Zhang (Cruise Shore Excursion)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The cruise port time was very limited, and I was worried about not making it. As soon as I exited the gate, I saw the driver waiting. The private car went straight to Dazaifu, and the timing was just right. On the way back, they even took us to a duty-free shop for a quick shopping spree, and finally, they dropped us off safely at the pier an hour early. So efficient!
