Had an enjoyable and relaxing day trip to Ine and Amanohashidate. Our tour guide, Lee, planned everything wonderfully. (a) He contacted us a day before the departure to confirm the tour and inform the meeting point. (b) He communicated clearly in both English and Mandarin, and responded to our queries very quickly. (c) At the start of the trip, he provided a suggested itinerary so we knew where to go and what to expect. (d) He also shared useful information about the attractions along with a list of recommended restaurants. (e) On top of that, he kept the journey fun with his jokes. Everything was well planned and well organised, definitely a well-deserved 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An itinerary that's nothing short of exciting and well-conceived, which we unfortunately couldn't fully enjoy due to the bad weather, but still an unforgettable experience. The guide was courteous, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. One of the most beautiful excursions to take outside of Kyoto!

Super cute idea, the guide is simple but still useful if you're starting from scratch. Not boring, some info is perhaps repeated once too often.

Title: The best Kyoto-Nara day tour ever with Guide Chu Hong! Thanks to Guide Chu Hong, I gained both amazing photos and knowledge! (Departure from Osaka) Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I booked this tour because I wanted to spend a fulfilling day traveling alone, and it exceeded my expectations! The biggest attraction was that I could visit the key attractions of Kyoto and Nara in just one day. 👍 What I liked: Perfect itinerary and time allocation: The time allocation was really good, allowing enough time to explore each place, including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Nara Park. In particular, at Fushimi Inari Shrine, they even told us about the best photo spots, so I was able to take a lot of amazing pictures! Kind and professional Guide 'Chu Hong' is the best! Guide Chu Hong is the one who increased the satisfaction of this tour by 5 times. Beyond simply guiding the place, he constantly told us fascinating stories about Japanese history and culture throughout the journey. There was no time to be bored, and the in-depth explanations about buildings and origins that I might have missed made the tourist attractions feel even more special. Attentive care: I was touched by the way they took care of each and every participant, approaching me first as I was alone, taking pictures, and providing necessary information (restrooms, restaurant tips, etc.) in advance. 🦌 I made good memories with the deer in Nara Park, and every moment is memorable, from the grandeur of Kiyomizu-dera Temple to the red torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine. If you want to experience the essential courses of Kyoto and Nara efficiently and enjoyably in one day, I highly recommend this tour. In particular, you will have a wonderful day with Guide Chu Hong! I would like to use Guide Chu Hong's tour again on Klook next time. Thank you!

This is my 3rd time using Klook for Japan day tour and I must say so far this is the best guide I’ve ever seen. Our guide Anson is very attentive and explained the itinerary very well, he even created a group chat to share location in case we’re not sure where to meet. Worth mentioning there’s a family with one elderly couldn’t move very well, he even gave up his seat for me, making sure easy access for the elderly. Most importantly, he’s the only guide that never asked us to leave a good comment for him ( guess most of the comments on Klook were mostly requested by the tour, which I hate it the most). The tour itself was very ok, saw some comments that it seems very rush, guess this is to do with the planning and make sure you prioritise which spots you want to cover first. Andon our guide gave us some tips and I find that really useful. Thanks for making the trip an awesome experience and finally, Uji is checked !

Alexander was absolutely amazing, passionate and knowledgeable- who shared lot of Japanese history and cultural aspects along with history of Gion and Geishas.. Tour itself was paced well showing some amazing locations with rich insights which we wouldn’t be able to get otherwise. This was absolutely money and time well spent!
