Reviews
A well planned tour that covers four areas, Arashiyama Bamboo forest, The Kinkakuji temple, the Kiyomizudera temple and also the Fushimi inari Tanisha. As we covered 4 areas in a day, I would say its more of a touch and go experience, but it's good enough if you are looking to just see what's popular at the place, the guide will give guidance on what and how much you can do during each stop over. If you want a more relaxing and chill tour which U wanted more time at each area, you might want to consider doing the bamboo forest on a separate trip as there are tons to see at Arashiyama area not just the forest itself. Overall it's a good experience still and I would most likely come back to Kyoto again.
The tour is a great balance for fitting multiple things in one day! all the destinations are great, you get an appropriate amount of time to enjoy them and the tour guide Maria is very helpful in getting you started but also willing to let you do your own thing if you prefer. the drive between venues offers a welcome rest after walking around and the guide gives a helpful introduction to the next place being visited on the way. the only thing I would have liked is to know the timings of the itinerary in advance as this could have helped me plan.
Highly recommended tour when travelling with seniors. This Kyoto Highlights Tour departs from Namba OCAT and will take you to 4 key areas in Kyoto - Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu Temple, Golden Pavilion, and Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. It is designed to let you see the best of Kyoto without feeling too rushed and tired at the end of the day. There will always be places you wished you spent more time. Perhaps the only con was that our small English group had to share a bus with a larger Korean group and the Korean tour guide took most of the time allotted for orientation in between bus stops leaving little time for our English tour guide to orient our group. But over-all, it was a good tour!
Our group had a fantastic time on this day tour to Kyoto with Limon. Our guide Kou was so sweet and informative, definitely brought some additional joy to our time there. The areas have some great stores which made for fantastic gift giving amd eating. Also, for a heads up; there is one or two parts you will need to buy tickets for when there for 500 yen per (adult) ticket.
The entire trip started off and ended in a timely manner. The guide was very clear about when to return to the bus and while the time at each location was short - from 30 min to 1.5 hrs, it was enough to enjoy the main attraction but right to explore the stands. you have to be strategic about how to allocate your time and because this is a packed schedule and will be walking a lot. Make sure to wear comfortable sneakers (walked 27k steps) and hydrate.
Our tour guide was very friendly, as was the bus driver. They were patient and made jokes to keep things light for everyone. I appreciate them. I also enjoyed the lesson about the difference between a temple and a shrine. Overall, I am very happy with my experience with them.
It was super hot and crowded at these sights so I was very glad to have an air-conditioned bus in between. Our guide Toshi was very kind. Just be aware this doesn't include entry tickets to Kiyomizu-dera or Kinkaku-ji.
Highly recommended. Guide is friendly and help. He speaks both English and Chinese. Tour bus is big and comfortable. Duration of the trip is just right covering four main attractions in Kyoto. Lunch is good. Definitely worth to travel again with Limon group.
we had a wonderful English speaking tour guide. she thoroughly explained all the stops and what to expect. our driver was an expert safe driver maneuvering the streets of Kyoto. the bus was clean and comfortable. we opted not to take the lunch option and there are plenty of other restaurants you can choose. the meeting place was also easy to find. those sites we won’t be able to do by ourselves in one day and the tour was worth it!
it was all worth it! our tour guide was so nice and very good! she assisted us on each place that we visited and kind enough to guide us the whole trip. she even took us some of our photos and kept on smiling the whole trip.
