Reviews
It is very worthwhile to join this tour because the tour guide will do his best to arrange the time and remind guests not to forget things. I have participated in HIS tours twice and the tour guides are very attentive and highly recommended. However, the Yamaboko parade of the Gion Festival this year was very slow, and those who participated in the full-day tour had to give up the tour because they had other schedules. Next time I will only join the half day tour.
I really liked this tour except for the reserved seats for the Gion Festival. Sounds nice on paper, but in July and with no shade, it was horrible. It was better to stand on the sidewalk with shade. But it was nice because they give you a frozen drink, a cold towel and other goodies. I really liked the Biwa boat ride. It was nice and I was going to do it on my own, but I'm glad that we booked through the app instead. It was more than I wanted to pay. The guides were terrific and nice and so was the driver.
excellent service and kind tour guide
