Ting at lave i Otsu

Vi havde en vidunderlig oplevelse med Carina under vores dagstur til Kyoto – Lake Biwa og La Collina. Hun var utrolig venlig, hensynsfuld og professionel under hele turen. På trods af de usikre vejrforhold spurgte hun hensynsfuldt os alle, om vi stadig ønskede at fortsætte med rejseplanen, og sikrede, at alle var trygge og informerede. Carina var altid punktlig, velorganiseret og venlig. Hendes varme personlighed gjorde turen fornøjelig og afslappende, og hun skabte en indbydende atmosfære for alle i gruppen. Hun var opmærksom på vores behov, tålmodig med spørgsmål og oprigtigt interesseret i at sikre, at vi fik den bedst mulige oplevelse. Tusind tak, Carina, for din fremragende vejledning, positive indstilling og dedikation. Du gjorde vores tur mindeværdig, og vi vil varmt anbefale dig til alle, der besøger Kyoto!

Great weather all day. Got to see some beautiful sights, though if I'd known Biwako Valley would be so cold up there, I would've brought my jacket. Anyways thank you for being patient with me. seemed like I was the naughty one in this group tour😅and I really appreciate the guide Peter for taking photos, it meant a lot to us which is why I give 5 stars. 很好的天气，也看到了一些美丽的景色。还有很感谢导游Peter帮我们拍照，真的很高兴。

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

Dette er en meningsfuld tur, der besøger fire steder: Shirahige-helligdommen, Sanzen-in-templet, Mangetsu-ji-templet og La Collina. Jeg valgte at se Shiga-præfekturet, som er mindre kendt i Kinki-regionen, og det var dejligt at se den store og smukke Biwa-sø. Sanzen-in-templet, som var inkluderet i stedet for Biwa-søens udsigtspunkt i vintersæsonen, var desværre et tempel i Kyoto-præfekturet. Personligt ville jeg foretrække en rejseplan, der kun inkluderede seværdigheder i Shiga-præfekturet, eksklusive Sanzen-in-templet. Det ser ud til, at Shiga-præfekturet har brug for at forbedre sit image som turistmål. Desværre var bussen (18-personers) lidt gammel og fuldt booket uden ledige pladser, så man måtte acceptere ubehaget ved en lang tur, hvis man fik en dårlig plads.

The driver was excellent and drove very safely. From start to finish, the trip felt like being guided by a friend. He took care of my family and me meticulously. The car was clean, and the itinerary was comfortably and appropriately arranged. Five-star rating!

The Miho Museum is truly stunning. It's remarkable how much effort an organization can put into promoting and disseminating aesthetics, from collecting and displaying exhibits to constructing the museum itself. Visitors to this secluded mountain location will undoubtedly be awestruck and impressed by this architectural masterpiece that rose from nothing. The quaint Bamboo Forest Garden is charming and compact. According to the introduction, it was once a training dormitory for monks from Enryaku-ji Temple. Enjoying matcha while gazing at the garden is quite therapeutic and relaxing. Shirahige Shrine, especially on a clear day, offers beautiful photo opportunities, and its omamori (charms) are also lovely. After a full day of sightseeing, I actually felt incredibly relaxed and peaceful.

Our tour guide, Mia, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her explanations in both English and Chinese were excellent. She's a five-star guide! The Miho Museum is definitely worth visiting, and it was absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season. We were also very lucky to encounter a festival when we visited Chikurin-in Temple, and the torii gate on Lake Biwa was beautiful as well.

Excellent experience to bike around local temples and world heritage spots around the Gion area. Miki our guide, adopted our itinerary based on our interest and limited time. It was nice to see some of sites before the 9 am rush of tourist. This e-bike is perfect for those who comfortable riding bikes in city traffic and some uphill climbs. We had a beautiful experience visiting the sites in the this part of Kyoto.

Tak til vores guide, Xiaoyu, som var utrolig hjælpsom. Området omkring Biwa-søen er perfekt til at nyde i ro og mag, og for førstegangsbesøgende er det en god måde at se de vigtigste seværdigheder på en grupperejse. Husk at medbringe en tyk jakke og nok kontanter, inden du tager op til toppen af Biwa-søen. Udsigten fra toppen er som et jordisk paradis, men det er også meget koldt. Turister, der er vant til at bruge Alipay overalt i storbyerne til taxaer og metro, bør forberede sig på at have kontanter med til de mindre kendte steder – jeg måtte veksle med guiden. Det er rart, at Japan ikke som USA konstant kræver høje drikkepenge, og heller ikke som i Kina presser en til at købe ting. Meget professionelt og ordentligt.
