Review for: Kiyomizudera, Ginkakuji, & Kinkakuji Half Day Tour

pretty sure we were the only English speakers on the tour but it was still great. the stops are a little rushed but good locations to visit. BE ON TIME or you will be left. if the final stop is the Kyoto street temple that is uphill it might be worth while to make other arrangements to get home as there is a lot to see and not a lot of time.

You need to exchange tickets at the departure point, which is a bit difficult for people who don't speak Japanese. The overall itinerary is good, the tour guide is also very enthusiastic, and he will take you to the attractions and then dismiss you. The bus you take has some introductions to famous attractions in Kyoto (there is a translator in the car), which is more friendly to people who come to Kyoto for the first time.

Easy to find the sightseeing bus terminal outside of Kyoto station. Staff are very polite and accommodating. Just show your mobile voucher to the counter to exchange for tickets. Bus leaves on time!! Our group (4pax) were also the only ones on the tour so it was great that we had a private tour of some kind 👍

Walk through the Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple and Kiyomizu Temple at once ~ It's really amazing! It is suitable for the itinerary to take the elders to see the flowers. If you do n’t think too much about the attractions, you can choose!

This was an amazing tour. What a great way to start my holiday. It was very peaceful to visit these places with a guide.

Review for: Half Day Tour

The price is about the same as buying tickets on the spot, so people who want to buy it but are afraid of communication suggest that they can buy it. Most of the passengers are Japanese, and there are very few foreigners (about 5). If you want to step on the spot, you can come, but the time is really tight. The Kinkakuji manual is a 20-minute lap, but it was only planned for 35 minutes. It would be too late to get a seal and buy souvenirs; in the end, I was 10 minutes late because I got lost. The tour guide was very unhappy, but he tried his best to contact me later, and I also arrived earlier, but the Ginkakuji Temple and Kiyomizu Temple are basically just looking at the flowers. The return time is 14:15 instead of 14:35, so Kiyomizu Temple should also be considered. Personally, I don’t recommend it to friends, but there is a time limit to limit your own itinerary, and you can use it for shopping later, that’s for sure. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service (you don’t need to worry about planning the route, and the tour guide is also a kind person), but in terms of planning time, I feel that it would be better to have an extra hour overall.
