Very thankful for EasyGo guides to plan this full itinerary from pickup at osaka to lisasing with another guide to bring us through Sagano train ride-horse carriage ride-river cruise. Guide HuaHua and Suke are both very friendly and explain things simply on where to meet and where to explore. Will definitely come back on this tour during autumn one day!

Lai was a very enthusiastic guide, provided detailed explanations, and even gave us relevant tourist information after we arrived in Arashiyama. Thank you very much! The entire journey by train, horse-drawn carriage, and raft was wonderful and interesting, a rare experience! 👍

The weather that day was excellent, clear and bright. Coupled with our guide Suka's professional explanations, the entire trip went very smoothly. Although it was only a short half-day, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A special mention: our group included Japanese, European, and Chinese travelers, and Suka explained everything in Japanese, English, and Chinese each time. He maintained his friendly smile and professional demeanor throughout! We hope to see you again next time!

So much fun! Our guide Joe was great - he was very personable and frequently checked in during the day to make sure we were all on the same page during the different transfers. We had a great time, especially the river cruise! The river guides did a fantastic job and were really funny. Would recommend, esp the river boat cruise! FYI - we went in early march, so the trees were pretty bare. It was still beautiful but imagine it would be stunning during the fall leaves/spring cherry blossoms.

Ba is a very good tour guide. Due to the unexpected cancellation of all romance trains at Saga-Arashiyama station, we were not able to take romance train for our tour. Ba advised us to apply for a refund for 3 romance train tickets. Please see the upload photo showing the cancellation of all romance trains.

we was initially disappointed as Easy contacted me to say that the trip i booked was cancelled and offered me an alternative. this included bus transfers but not horse and ride. it also cost us an additional 7400 yen. I feel as we were the ones who were forced to change it additional charge should have been waved. The trip was fantastic, the 3 boatman were very good and funny.

Lai, the tour guide, is very enthusiastic, provides detailed explanations and related history, and offers information about Arashiyama and Kyoto. The arrangements for the Sagano Scenic Railway, the horse-drawn carriage, and the Hozugawa River boat tour are appropriate.
