Using Klook for all my needs make my travel much smooth and tension free. Booking is very user friendly, even I did cancellation for one of my transaction and the refund issued within two days.
The tour guide who leads the group has clear explanations in English, and the timing is just right. This golden route is very suitable for friends who are visiting Kyoto for the first time and have a small time budget.
This tour is truly fantastic. It offers convenience, especially for those of us aren't fond of taking trains. We had a great time even though it was raining the whole day of our excursion. Our assigned tour guide was very informative and genuinely attentive to our needs. Above all, our group thoroughly enjoyed seeing the breathtaking beauty of cherry blossoms throughout every stop on our itinerary! Five star, indeed!
worth a try. It's a bit far from Osaka, but since we were staying there, we chose to go with this tour package.
Our first time in Kyoto , we did the 1 Day Golden Tour Bus route and could not be more pleased. Everything from our guide to our driver and our transport was fantastic. We definitely enjoyed learning about the site’s history and seeing all the beautiful scenery. 10 out 10
This tour is so worth it. It brings you to the best places you can see in Kyoto. The Kyoto Imperial palace was so nice. The Golden Pavilion was so perfect. All of the places we went to was so beautiful. Our tour guide Sachiko was so accommodating and helpful.
Fantastic experience. Out tour guide was very accommodating and really enhanced the adventure. 10/10. Would use again no hesitation.
It was a great trip. The guide Yoko san is realy nice and she explain and brief us very well. The food can be better.
You can experience famous places in Kyoto in one day, and guide Yoko is very kind, so I highly recommend it. When sightseeing at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, be sure to buy a folding fan & cover set!!!
