Kyoto Day trips

Be very early as the bus leaves on time. Fiona was our tour guide. she is excellent and very informative about all the places we went. I wish we had more time on each stops so we can really explore. The driver was very nice polite. Cleanliness is a major thing in japan. Bring a plastic bag and place all your trash. I highly recommend this tour as we saw all the major tourist spot in kyoto.

This tour is everything! Kyoto is beautiful!John was our tour guide, he is very helpful and made sure we’re always good. It was snowing the day of our tour so that made it even better. I would definitely do this tour again around Fall or Summer.

Despite a few hiccups at the start, everything was handled professionally. Our tour guide Jo was knowledgeable, calm, and professional throughout the trip, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The view from Amanohashidate Viewland was breathtaking with the snow at the top. Overall, it was truly worth it and highly recommended.

This tour efficiently allowed me to experience Japan's most representative attractions in one day, with an itinerary that included Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Nara Park, and Todai-ji Temple. At Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the view overlooking Kyoto and the magnificence of the wooden architecture were impressive. At Fushimi Inari Shrine, walking along the endless path of torii gates allowed me to feel Japan's unique and mystical atmosphere. In Nara Park, the scenery of naturally blending with the deer was memorable, and the Great Buddha of Todai-ji Temple was overwhelming in scale and presence when I actually saw it. The tour guide, Songran Lee, provided very natural Korean explanations that were easy to understand, and she highlighted the key points of each location, allowing me to learn a lot in a short amount of time. In particular, the restaurant information she recommended during transit was practical and detailed, which was a great help during the trip. Overall schedule management, guidance, customer service, and other basic qualities as a guide were well-equipped, allowing me to enjoy the tour comfortably and with confidence! Overall, it was a stable and satisfactory tour, and I would especially recommend it to those visiting Kyoto and Nara for the first time!

This was my first time participating in a local Japanese day tour, and Amanohashidate and Ine Boathouse Village were truly amazing and fun. Although the waves were too big to go out to sea by boat, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we were able to feed the seagulls with shrimp crackers at the parking lot in Ine's small bay, which was really fun. Remember to buy the large package of shrimp crackers because there are really a lot of seagulls. The tour guide, Maggie, is really strong, constantly switching between Chinese, English, and Japanese to introduce travel information. She answered all questions very kindly and asked each person individually. So, we also asked her for her opinion on the issues we were worried about during our independent travel. This was also the first time I've met such a kind and capable tour guide. Miyama Kayabuki no Sato was okay, probably because I've already been to Shirakawa-go Gassho Village. Unexpectedly, the tour guide recommended Miyama's donuts, which were quite delicious. In short, just listen to the tour guide Maggie's recommendations. I took a single-person chairlift up and down Amanohashidate, which moved very slowly and was only a little scary. It only takes seven minutes to go up or down. The weather was very good, and those seven minutes were very comfortable.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.

It was a very nice trip. Our tour guide, Frederick was really helpful. He gave a lot of tips, recommended foods and provided google map links so we can easily find the restaurants. We really liked the itinerary of this trip.

Very impressed with both the guide, Mr. Chan, and the tour program. It's a little unfortunate that it was very windy and cold today, and the river water was low, so the boat tour was canceled, but we got a refund for that portion (although not all of it). Very impressed. The route after the train ride has a short time of only 2.5 hours. If you can endure not having a serious lunch, you can complete everything, but we were hungry, so we ate at a tea shop for half an hour (many delicious shops). We didn't go to the monkey park because we don't like monkeys, but we went to Tenryu-ji Temple instead, and then out to the bamboo forest, which has a path leading down to the river, and then back to the main road. If you don't shop or stroll, or stand in line to buy coffee at the famous shop, you can make it to the kimono forest. I recommend using AI to help plan the walking route to make the walk smooth. In conclusion, the guide was very good, better than other routes (judging from asking other guides while waiting for the bus, others were very moody even though they were from the same company). Thank you very much for this special day.

It was a beautiful night walk with small group of 6 people and our lovely guid Mao. Mao is really friendly and has good knowledge about the history, story of people and places in Kyoto .
