Our guide, Oh Seok-bong, was incredibly kind and made the bus rides fly by, sharing fascinating facts about Japan that we never knew. During the tour, he recommended must-see places and great restaurants, and even sent us a list of Osaka's best eateries via KakaoTalk afterward. Local recommendations truly make a difference! We felt so reassured and had a wonderful time with him. If we visit Japan again, we'd love to have the same guide :)

This was my first time doing a Kyoto tour, and I'm extremely satisfied! It was a tour that will leave many lasting memories. Our guide was incredibly kind, explained everything so well, and made it easy to understand, which I really appreciated. Unlike some other tours where guides can be a bit stiff, our guide was very friendly and even recommended nearby restaurants, which was wonderful. I feel like I learned a lot more about Japan through this tour! If I get the chance again, I'd love to meet Guide Oh Seok-bong again! It was such a fun and informative time! I highly recommend it! You won't regret this tour. Guide Oh Seok-bong, I wish you even greater success!!!

one of the best tours we have been on. Our tour guide David was super insightful in providing us with the history of the area. As the old phrase goes time flies when you are having fun and it felt like the day went by so fast. We cannot recommend this tour enough, it's so good.

I booked a Kyoto tour through Klook, and our guide, Mr. Oh Seok-bong, made the entire tour so enjoyable with his excellent storytelling! He even offered to recommend restaurants in Dotonbori, and when I told him what I wanted to eat, he reeled off a list of great places. I'm absolutely thrilled with my first trip to Japan!👍🏻

Tour Guide is good. Itinerary was great too. We get to go two main places within the day. However as it was Japan emperor birthday (public holiday), hence the asumenment park is pack with people and waiting time for each ride can went up to an hours. Given 3 hours there, our child manage to only play 3 ride. We bought the unlimited ride pass without knowing the crowd situation. For those whom like to join this, to avoide their holiday.
