Shinsaibashi tours

I came to Osaka without much of a plan, but I'm glad I signed up for this tour. It was excellent value for money! Our guide, Liu, was kind and led us through everything in detail. Originally, the tour didn't include a Korean-speaking guide, but when Liu realized I was Korean, they guided us using English, Chinese, and Korean. They also took great photos and recommended a wonderful cafe. I highly recommend Liu for their thoughtfulness! 😁

From the moment I saw their name, I knew this was the person for us. I had a feeling our Kyoto trip would be really fun, and it certainly was! They were incredibly kind and explained everything in great detail, which made our trip twice as enjoyable. Not only did they provide thorough explanations of each spot, but they also shared insights into Japanese culture and their own life experiences, which kept things very engaging. There aren't many tours that include Nara, so I compared many options, and this tour exceeded all expectations – 100,000,000,000,000% satisfied! :) After the tour, they even recommended a great restaurant near Namba and offered to make a reservation if possible. We asked for a yakiniku restaurant, and the first bite was pure bliss... it was the best meat I've ever had in my life. It was truly, incredibly delicious!!! They also told us to contact them anytime if we needed other restaurant recommendations or had any questions or difficulties during our trip. That made me feel very reassured, and it was a happy tour where I felt like I had met a wonderful person.

The day before departure, we checked the weather forecast and it was good, so we signed up for the Sea of Kyoto day trip... That day we received an email notification with the tour guide's contact information and meeting point instructions, which made us feel very reassured. On the day of departure, we arrived at the meeting point, and the tour guide, Sean Shen Wan-Ping, explained things very diligently on the bus (Korean + Chinese). After getting off the bus, he enthusiastically helped us take photos and introduced and guided us through the attractions. Plus, the good weather made the trip comfortable. On the return trip, the tour guide also shared information about local Osaka cuisine. We felt that the good weather and the responsible tour guide made for a wonderful trip!!

worth the visit. i wish we could have more time, nonetheless we were able to capture good memories and nice pictures. these places are far from each other and not very accessible for public transport.

Visited the MIHO Museum, which has a collection of ancient art. Had to pay the entrance fee on-site. Then took a long bus ride to see Biwa Lake and the Torii gate in the water. Ended the trip at an old temple; the highlight was the mirror reflecting the trees. I was the only English speaker on the entire trip; everyone else spoke Chinese. The guide took great care of us, explaining everything well in both languages. It was enjoyable and I got to see new places, but I would recommend spending more time in the Shiga area.

tour was well organized. our tour guide yang, was very informative, accomodating, and helpful. not to forget, also goodlooking and fashionable. this tour is highly recommended

Recommend this itinerary! The scenery of Arashiyama, Sagano, Bamboo Forest Trail, and Arashiyama Park is beautiful, and the surrounding cherry blossoms 🌸 are also in full bloom 😃! It was a weekend, so there were a lot of people, and there were bearers nearby. You could go boating on the lake, and there was also a small footbath. Fortunately, we had booked the small train tickets. The tour guide Minako carefully told us that the even-numbered seats have better views. She also took into account whether our seats would be facing uphill or facing up, and she also arranged for us to exchange seats on the return trip early in the morning, which made everyone happy. All have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Moreover, she also sent us relevant maps with the key sights to see, and also accompanied the group members to introduce the scenic spots (because I will participate in other klook Japan day tours later, some tour guides will only stay on the tour bus and will not go in to introduce the scenic spots) . I feel that her service is considerate and dedicated, and she often offers to take photos for me (because I am a lone ranger this time). This group departs from Osaka and Kyoto. In addition, there is Sanzen-in (not many trips to visit, but it is quite peaceful to enjoy tea there), so the time schedule is quite sufficient.

The operator contacted us a day before, and the process was very organized. The only problem was that we did not realize the driver could only speak in Mandarin. I did not notice that when I was booking the tour, so that is something to be aware of. Other than that, it was a good experience.
