Our tour guide, Lin Nana, was excellent and very kind. The scenery was beautiful, and the drive was relatively short.

The overall experience on the "Lake Biwa & Shirahige Shrine & Sanzen-in Temple & Mangetsu-ji Ukimido One-Day Tour" was fantastic! The itinerary was well-planned, and I especially want to commend the tour guide for their excellent service attitude and meticulous attention to detail. The only minor drawback was that the tour bus space was a bit small; for passengers who are 180 cm (approximately 5'11") tall, the seats felt a little cramped and became uncomfortable after a while. Other than that, everything was perfect, and I still highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Lin Nana, was excellent. She's fluent in three languages, and her English is especially native-level, perfect! When some tourists were late, she handled the situation promptly and professionally. She was very kind, and her service deserves high praise! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

I had such a great time on this tour! 💗 Our guide, Carina, was really kind, communicative, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. It was a great mix of beautiful nature spots - my favorite was the Biwako Terrace and La Collina (the baumkuchen there is amazing! I’d recommend getting a freshly baked slice 😍) I’d wholeheartedly recommend the is experience for anyone who wants to see some lesser-known spots in this area :)

We had a wonderful experience with Carina during our Kyoto – Lake Biwa and La Collina day trip. She was incredibly kind, considerate, and professional throughout the entire tour. Despite the uncertain weather conditions, she thoughtfully checked with all of us to see if we still wanted to proceed with the itinerary, making sure everyone was comfortable and informed. Carina was always punctual, well-organized, and friendly. Her warm personality made the trip enjoyable and relaxing, and she created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone in the group. She was attentive to our needs, patient with questions, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best experience possible. Thank you, Carina, for your excellent guidance, positive attitude, and dedication. You made our trip memorable, and we would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Kyoto!

The experience was excellent! Our tour guide, Lin Nana, was incredibly enthusiastic and helpful, patiently introducing us to the sights and even taking photos for each of us. We are very grateful and hope to meet Nana again someday.
