Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama tours

Even though it is raining throughout the day, we are able to enjoy the tour. Rex had given as ample of time to explore, send out detailed guide and he make sure to answer questions. Also, he is on time and was able to handle the big group well which is a very important aspect of a group tour.

this was an awesome experience for my family. Masa was a lovely guide and we learned so much. we enjoyed the bamboo forest and the peaceful shrine — and then the hike and walk to the monkey park with incredible views. so wonderful and worth it! group size: 4 guide: Masa

Our family of 3, including 12 year old, were very happy with the tour. Hua Hua was very attentive and made sure the group was settled in whenever we changed mode of transportation (mini bus - train - mini bus - boat). We were lucky to have met Hua Hua as he is very knowledgeable.

Lidya did a great job of explaining all the fine details of this wonderful shine and lots of details of the history. she really made this a wonderful day. the monkeys were so fun and cute!! the food tasting was a really nice treat and we got to taste a lot of local items! very relaxed pace. great job Lidya!!!!!

Shine was absolutely phenomenal and incredibly attentive. My cards were stolen on my transfer from Tokyo to Osaka and Shine ensured I still had a great time! Originally I planned on staying put until my flight home but decided to take the two hour walk to the meet up point and I am so glad I did! If I could give more stars I would. As a solo traveler, losing your access to funds is a huge burden. Today, Shine made me completely forget about this. He truly lives up to his name. I highly recommend his tours for solo travelers, families, and everyone in between. Money and time well spent. Infinite thank yous shine. May you always be blessed for your kindness and light in this world.

we really enjoyed this tour! we did not get to do the Kimono walk or the monkey park, but I think it was because of time allowance. we did choose the option of the romance train, which was a beautiful trip! we enjoyed how communicative and prompt the driver was. he was very kind and helpful. we had a great time!

Brilliant trip, incredible views on the train and boat! Well organised and great communication. Joanna was a fantastic guide too!!

Me and my parents enjoyed this trip, in my opinion, a 1 hour walk around the nara park was good enough for us since we just walked around and didn’t feed the deers because we were too scared haha. The trip to Kyoto was also nice, we were able to ask for blessings and respect the place. We had enough time to explore during Ashiyama, the Sagano Romantic Train was also very worth the time if you like to see nature around you. This experience was possible only because our guide — Xintong (yoyo) — was very friendly, approachable and helpful. She messaged us with the designated location and time when it was time to depart. She also recommeded some spots to go.
