Kyoto Imperial Palace tours

Taking a tour through history is like stepping back in time! It’s refreshing to embrace that student spirit again—learning, exploring, and having fun. Let’s dive into the past and discover the stories that shaped our world! 📚🕰️

A really great tour to get an overview of historic Tokyo and Japan in a single day, we didn’t have much time in Kyoto so it was perfect to see a lot, our guide was knowledgeable and kept everyone’s energy up over a big day. The only downside of this is you don’t get much time at each stop, keep in mind that this is a quick tour of everything and you’ll be fine or choose to go to less stops on another tour where you can spend longer.

Jasmine was a wonderful tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun and interesting! Her English was excellent and I learned a lot and got some wonderful pictures. Highly recommend this tour for a great history lesson on the Shogun and Meji.

The Kyoto - Nara day trip was a great way to see some of the highlights in both cities. Yuki-San, our guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was very cool to be able to walk inside the Nijo-Jo castle and take pictures of the “golden pavilion”. The Nara deer are a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you have to see to believe as they come right up to you expecting a treat!

we highly recommended this tour with tour guide Mr. Asfand that is very punctual and kind and very accomodation and easy to communicate with him. we have a great Kyoto experience!

The tour guide Apple's careful explanation made us look forward to the tourist destinations on the bus. Although the original four sections of scenery were reduced to three sections (missing the deer feeding in Nara), it was a reasonable arrangement considering the stop time of the itinerary. I liked Katsuo-ji Temple the most among the three sections. The temple was full of Daruma, which was very healing. The postcard stamping session made people look forward to the different looks of the postcards stamped at each stop. The whole temple had a full atmosphere. If possible, I hope this trip can be extended to 1.5 hours, which will be enough for everyone to take pictures and buy souvenirs. Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari are more of a walking, eating and drinking itinerary. The time for Fushimi Inari was not enough for us to walk to the top of Inari Mountain, which was a bit of a pity. The overall itinerary is still highly recommended!

During the 7-day 6-night free travel, I specially arranged a day to sign up for a group tour in Kyoto. The main attractions this time were Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. The overall itinerary was all the attractions I really wanted to visit. I was super nervous before departure, after all, it was my first time traveling in this way, and I wanted to participate selfishly, but in fact I really felt great. The entire time control and itinerary arrangement were all very appropriate. I would like to thank our tour guide Xiao Fu (Alvin) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. During the trip, he explained the history of the attractions in Chinese and English, and shared many recommended restaurants, allowing us to use time quickly and accurately, and he would also remind everyone in the group of the meeting time and place in a timely manner. Our group had a large number of people and we took the bus, but Xiao Fu still cared about everyone's situation, whether there was anything they wanted to eat, etc. He was always willing to help. Especially when my son fell and injured both knees, Xiao Fu immediately went to buy disinfectant and dressings for us. I am really grateful, otherwise we might not be able to have fun. The child felt embarrassed afterwards and wanted to thank this big brother. We returned to Osaka at nearly 6 o'clock and had plenty of time to go shopping. After returning home, everyone felt that they had a fulfilling and happy day.

The half-day tour organized by the agency was fantastic. Our guide, Miyuki, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and we had a great time exploring the destinations. I truly loved this trip!
