Kokedera Temple (Saihōji) tours

Our tour guide Zoya gave us the most amazing experience, very knowledgeable about Kyoto and surrounding areas, made the bus ride very fun with facts and jokes, I would highly recommend! we had more then enough time to explore and get the photos we needed 💯

What a magnificent day! We are still talking about this wonderful trip. Our guide, Laura, was absolutely fantastic! She was very articulate, knowledgeable, and shared lovely and interesting stories about each place we visited. She really made the whole experience extra special. The trip was perfectly organised from start to finish. Everything went smoothly, and we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy each location without ever feeling rushed. Ending the day with a boat trip was the perfect finishing touch! Our bus driver was also wonderful—very friendly and professional, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. If you’re looking to visit somewhere different and have a truly memorable experience, this trip is an absolute must! Thank you so much, Laura and the whole team. We had the best time and will remember this beautiful day for a long time! ❤️

Kyoto and Nara Day Tour with Valerie 😊 I was a bit worried since I'm Korean and might not understand the English explanations well, but I was able to grasp the general gist of things more easily than expected. Above all, after the explanations, Valerie would come right up to me to explain things slowly and again in person, and even sent a summary in Korean via KakaoTalk. This allowed my companion and me to understand everything together and stay fully engaged in the tour. The large tour bus was air-conditioned, cool, and comfortable while we traveled. The seats were spacious, and there was plenty of room for our luggage, making the ride very pleasant. Using the toll roads made our travel time efficient, and we had a fun time learning about Japan's history and culture along the way. In Nara, we got to experience feeding the deer directly, and it was so much fun because the deer were very enthusiastic 🦌. I especially appreciated the thoughtful consideration when Valerie worried that our shoes might get dirty and prepared a way for us to dust and wipe our feet after feeding the deer. If you want to comfortably explore both Kyoto and Nara in a single day, I think a day tour is a great choice. For a wonderful trip, I recommend checking for availability on your desired date in advance and booking quickly!

group size: 5. A spirited and cheerful guide, very knowledgeable about Shougun and Edo period, and able to answear all questions asked. First time I've booked a guide through Klook and i have not been let down, 10/10. guide: Sarah, from Washington.

awesome experience! it's really rare to meet a geisha/maiko and it was so fun to play a game with her so close

A fantastic trip and an excellent guide. I highly recommend it, especially if you are staying in Kyoto or Osaka for a short time but still want to visit the temples, shrines and Nara Park (I just wish we had little more time in Nara Park). Shine is a great guide for this tour, he was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. I warmly recommend Shine if you are looking for an excellent guide 😊

this is a really good deal. got it for buy 1 take 1 promo yet the experience is as if i paid for two people. thank you Mike, our tour guide. i really appreciate the work that you’ve done and i am very impressed with how many language you could speak - it must be hard to say statements in three different languages but you pulled it off!

This tour was great, very punctual, and they complied 100% with what they offered. My guide "Effy" was super special; she explained everything super clearly, even with slides. Super recommended. Este tour fue genial, muy puntuales y cumplieron al 100% con lo que ofrecen, mi guía "Effy"super especial, explico todo super claro hasta con diapositivas.... super recomendado.

We had the best tour guide, Jack was amazing. He showed us around the park, the shrine, and even offered to make us reservations at a restaurant after our tour since we didn’t know a much Japanese ourselves. This experience went above and beyond my expectations and we would definitely go again!
