Rurikō-in Temple ট্যুর

Taylor was great! I learned a lot about geisha (geiko and maiko)and about the area. Also learned about the differences between shrines vs temples and Shinto vs Buddhist beliefs. The only complaint is that the confirmation email told us to look for a guide with a logo for Japan Guide Star, but the tour operator was holding a sign for Japan Local Tours or something similar--I initially thought that I had missed the group or was in the wrong place.

The most memorable excursion, EIKANDO!! Ideally to be done when there are no crowds (which was the case for us on October 27th). Lunch near Sanzen-in (izakaya: "Kyoubijaya", please note cash only payment). Splendid Kifune!

Ben is helpful & explain the history of the locations well. He look out for us & we enjoyed the trip very much! Wonderful ride & thank you.

Overall, the experience was fun and hassle-free. Thanks to this tour package. Definitely a must try! 😎👍🏻👍🏻 Special thanks to our tour guide - Shine(formerly handsome man) is a nice tour guide. He was good at providing details and stories on how to improve as a guide. He was kind enough to give us sets of umbrella and was nice to my kids. He also kind to provide assistance outside the tour. I would recommend him and looking forward to our next day trip with him soon. 😎👍🏻👍🏻 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This trip to Kyoto was truly an amazing experience! 🥰 A special thank you to our tour guide, David, who was extremely attentive and patient throughout the entire journey. Not only did he seamlessly switch between Chinese and English for his explanations, but he also provided detailed introductions to the history, culture, and unique features of each attraction. This ensured we didn't just passively sightsee, but genuinely understood the stories behind every place. Throughout the trip, he thoughtfully reminded everyone of important details, and the itinerary was so smoothly arranged that we felt completely at ease and relaxed. This journey allowed us to enjoy Kyoto's beautiful scenery while gaining a wealth of cultural knowledge and wonderful memories. I am so grateful to have had such a professional and dedicated tour guide! I highly recommend this tour, and thank you, David, for helping us create such unforgettable memories of Kyoto! ❤️

Thoroughly enjoyed this e-bike tour, and my 14-year-old daughter loved it too! Exploring Kyoto at night was fantastic, with fewer crowds at the beautiful sights and cooler temperatures making for a pleasant ride. Our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. Highly recommend!

I had such a fun experience for this tour, thanks to Sarah! She did an amazing job proactively sending comms and organizing the entire tour such that we can enjoy it well. She also went out of her way to show me good souvenir shops and offered to take my pictures (since I travelled solo). Can’t wait to do this tour with my family with me next time!

এই যাত্রার সময় সত্যিই খুব দারুণ অভিজ্ঞতা হয়েছে। আমি এটি ভীষণ উপভোগ করেছি। পুরো ভ্রমণজুড়ে জায়গাগুলো অত্যন্ত শান্তিপূর্ণ এবং সুন্দর ছিল। আমাদের ট্যুর ড্রাইভার এবং গাইড মিস্টার সং অত্যন্ত সাহায্যকারী এবং দয়ালু একজন ব্যক্তি ছিলেন।

This was a great small group tour. We didn't have to carry our luggage; it could be stored in the trunk, and the driving time wasn't long. The driver-guide had an excellent service attitude and allowed us enough time at each stop. The night before, they individually confirmed the meeting and pickup times with everyone and reminded us not to be late, which was very thoughtful. On the day of the tour, they were also very punctual. As we approached the hotel, they specifically messaged us in advance to let us know we could wait at the hotel entrance, which was very considerate. Along the way, the driver-guide explained the history, characteristics, and important notes for each attraction, helping us to explore them more effectively. The three attractions were well-connected and all very impressive, with beautiful scenery that my family also loved. For those staying in Osaka, traveling to Kyoto can be a bit far, so this day trip is very suitable. I would definitely recommend it to friends!
