Excursió d'un dia a Kyoto i Nara (Opció de millora a dinar de vedella de Wagyu de Kobe)

M'ho vaig passar molt bé en aquesta excursió i crec que pel preu que vaig pagar, vaig poder veure molts dels llocs imprescindibles del Japó. El guia turístic, del qual he oblidat el nom 🥲, era molt divertit i amè. Es va oferir a fer fotos a cada grup i sabia parlar anglès, xinès i japonès. A més, m'alegro d'haver pogut millorar l'opció per incloure un dinar, tot i que originalment no l'havia comprat a través de Klook. Crec que si no hagués tingut el menjar reservat abans, hauria passat menys temps en una de les zones. En general, sens dubte tornaria a fer aquesta excursió en el futur.

Va ser el que esperava dels detalls de l'itinerari. Vam anar al Parc de Nara, on hi havia molts cérvols. Més avall del parc hi ha santuaris i un temple per explorar. Per accident, vam ser al Santuari Himuro, a prop del temple Todaiji. Va ser la primera vegada que vaig veure un cirerer ploraner amb les flors en plena floració! La nostra següent parada va ser un dinar de sukiyaki de vedella de Kobe a la botiga Kyoto Wasabi Arashimaya. La vedella era mooolt tendra i es desfeia a la boca! La nostra següent parada va ser el frondós bosc de bambú d'Arashimaya. Una vista refrescant i vam gaudir de la quietud del lloc. El temple Kinkakuji, tot i que ja l'havia vist dues vegades abans, segueix sent increïble! La nostra següent parada va ser el Santuari Inari Fushimi. Vam intentar arribar al cim passant per les portes torii, però la pujada era llarga i no és aconsellable per a gent gran com jo. El nostre guia turístic, Myke, va ser molt complaent i ens va donar molta informació i consells sobre els llocs que vam visitar. La baixada ja no era la original, sinó a 15 minuts de l'estació de Namba.

If you're traveling a big international trip like we did and were a little nervous trying to figure out all the train systems this is a great option! We based in Osaka for a few days and wanted to see Kyoto and Nara while we were here. We figured we'd be a little overwhelmed trying to get over to Kyoto/Nara so we last minute decided to book a bus tour to the big spots we wanted to see. This was such a great tour! Harid was our tour guide and he was fabulous! You coukd tell he loved what he did. He was always willing to answer our groups questions and keep us informed of each next stop and expectations. We didn't book the lunch but he gave us a good recommendation of where to eat while the rest of the group did the lunch included. He even helped take photos for everyone when needed.

L'itinerari va estar perfectament programat i el nostre guia, Koji, va ser molt amable. El tour va cobrir els llocs imprescindibles de Kyoto i Nara. A Nara, l'itinerari només inclou el parc dels cérvols o el Buda gegant, però si podeu caminar ràpid, podeu veure tots dos. Vam tenir temps suficient per a fotos, aperitius i records a cada lloc. Tenryu-ji i el bosc de quimonos no estaven inclosos a l'itinerari, tot i que s'havien mencionat.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about Japan while enjoying a fun, relaxed, and memorable travel experience!

El nostre guia Gary va ser molt útil i informatiu! Vam gaudir molt del dinar de sukiyaki! Només que els itineraris eren una mica atapeïts i amb força presses! No obstant això, vam estar agraïts pels dies assolellats i per poder veure la Sakura!

My Kyoto and Nara tour was unforgettable, thabks to the best tour guide (sorry forgot his name 😔) His energy and funny jokes kept us laughing the whole day. Incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every detail, from crowd-free photo spots to perfect timing. To top it off, he went above and beyond by guiding us all the to Dotonbori afterward ( shortcut from the VIP Villa Namba) so we wouldn't get lost. Ultimate omotenashi!

Mike is a great guide. Very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the area. Lunch was bloody delicious. It’s a big day, so make sure you’ve got your comfy shoes on!!

L'horari es compleix. L'autobús és espaiós i net. El conductor és molt bo i en Harry és un guia excepcional. Explica la història (a més de llegendes i curiositats) dels llocs i és amable amb tothom. Vam visitar 4 llocs i vam tenir prou temps per gaudir de cada parada, comprar menjar i records. Molt recomanable per a viatgers en solitari.

Definitely a jam packed day! If you’re being picked up in Osaka, there’s about an hour drive to pick up people in Kyoto before you officially start your trip and also an hour between dropping people off in Kyoto and returning to Osaka. We went in November, so the sun sets pretty early, and when we went to Fushimi Inari shrine it was dark and all the stores were closing or already closed. on the plus side, it wasn’t very crowded! Also on the plus side, we visited SO many things in one day and did a lot, so I feel like we got a lot of sightseeing and figuring out transportation and tickets for each area out of the way in one day! Woukd definitely recommend, but wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and DEFINITELY opt in for the Kobe beef lunch option! it was DELICIOUS and was one of our best meals in Japan!
