Is okay only. help with the bags at both ends was nice but feel rush, and Jonas the driver hard to hear sometimes. The transfer in Kyoto was more better.

our driver Fatima really knew their stuff and the driver waiting with my name on a sign was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Mid-week so it was quiet, and bang on time, 40 min ride. Would book again no question.
