Reviews
The tour is ok a bit confusing compared to the actual photos shown too get you in . when you look at the tour on the advertisement it shows you all the attractions you can see , what it doesn’t say isn’t that you have to walk everywhere to see especially the first part where the bamboo forest and two or three temples are it was very confusing to understand what we were doing and what temples are available to see at the first stop. The tour operator spoke very little English and had to use Siri on Google translate. Most of the talking was done in Chinese which is good if you’re from China or understand Chinese but if you’re English speaking or another language it’s very difficult. We are not informed that the bamboo forest was in the first place and therefore we missed that opportunity. You are dropped off at the car park and told you have 2 hours to look around, you have to find things yourself, so it’s not guided tour more a taxi service. The guide was very pleasant as was the driver
It was a wonderful experience on a day trip in KYOTO with our local tour guide Leo who is very helpful and accommodating all throughout the itineraries. Definitely a must see for every tourist visiting Japan to explore this part of Kyoto. Till the next adventure!
This tour bus is only good if you need convenience of a transfer ride to each sites. But I don't recommend if you want a good clear guide or time to walk around at each location. Although our guide tried, he wasn't able to fully translate information or clear instructions loud enough for the English speaking guests. We had to repeatedly ask questions to be reassured we understood what was happening or just follow the crowd cause it seemed he wasn't confident. Would recommend researching the season or time you go on this tour as we went during a very busy time. As our guide walked fast we felt left behind trying to rush to catch up to him with other families. When at some attraction sites I felt we didn't have enough time to embrace the scenery or location. So maybe look into other tours with a bit more time or better reviews, but regardless still appreciate our guide for trying and for taking us to Kyoto.
