Kyoto Day trips

I booked this tour last minute, the day before. The tour guide contacted me the night before to confirm the meeting point. Our guide, Ellen Wang, was very attentive to every traveler. For the seagull feeding activity, she thoughtfully prepared and personally provided seagull food to each of us. She paid close attention to every aspect and need of the tour. Feeding the seagulls was a lot of fun, and the boat house tour offered a glimpse into different aspects of Japanese culture. The cable car ride during the Amanohashidate tour was especially enjoyable, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful—definitely worth visiting! Ellen Wang also thoughtfully sent individual messages with meeting times and recommended attractions near Amanohashidate. Her meticulous service made our family's trip fun and happy. The guide's attentive and excellent service is highly recommended.

Our family has been on many tours around the world, but we’ve never experienced one as well-organized and thoughtfully run as this Nara and Kyoto tour. From the detailed information shared in the group chat before, during and after the tour to the helpful tips throughout the day, everything was seamless! Our tour guide, Valerie, was absolutely exceptional. Despite having a full bus of travellers, she took the time to personally check in with everyone. She planned toilet breaks, ensured everyone had time to rest on the bus, and kept the day running smoothly. Our daughter, who has joined us on many tours, said that Valerie is the best tour guide she’s ever had—and we couldn’t agree more. Valerie’s warmth, kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made this one of the highlights of our trip. To Valerie’s manager: Please give this woman a raise! She is an incredible ambassador! we’ve already recommended both this tour and Valerie to all our friends and family.

This was my first time taking a day trip with this travel agency, and our tour guide, Wen-Ji Ju, was incredibly enthusiastic and energetic. He switched between three languages fluently, which was impressive, as we had travelers from Taiwan, Korea, and Japan on the bus today. He explained the itinerary three times, managed the time perfectly, and we didn't experience any delays. He even provided pictures at each scenic spot, showing us the best angles for Instagram-worthy photos, and offered to take pictures for everyone. He was very thoughtful, even checking in with those who hadn't taken many photos to make sure they got some. Along the way, he recommended delicious snacks and unique convenience store drinks, and it was clear he wasn't just promoting them. His enthusiasm was consistent throughout the entire trip. The group members were also very considerate and didn't cause any delays at any of the attractions. I hope to have the chance to join another tour and have the same guide again! 👍 I do have a small suggestion for the travel agency, though. There are very few restaurants in Amanohashidate, and it gets very crowded with tourists, which caused significant delays during lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we missed some spots because of this. It would be much better if the agency could offer a lunch reservation and meal service.

During the summer vacation, I took my child to Japan. There were many places I wanted to visit, but I knew transportation would be a challenge, and without a guide, I might not understand anything. I've never joined a tour group or a day trip in China before, so I decided to try this with an open mind, and it truly deserves a five-star rating! This package is excellent and very affordable (I really didn't expect it to be so good for such a low price). The tour guide is a very enthusiastic Chinese person who is a permanent resident in Japan. The bus was comfortable throughout the trip, and the guide shared a lot about the local customs and culture from his many years in Japan, which was very insightful. A big thank you to Tour Guide Wu Shifeng; he was excellent and very professional, with no hidden fees! We visited all the classic Kyoto landmarks in one day, and the pace was just right! Highly recommended! Everyone should definitely go for it!

A beautiful night tour through the streets of Kyoto. The guide was very pleasant from the start and eager to tell us about things and answer any questions we had along the way. Highly recommended if it's your first time in Kyoto 😊

I wish we could give our guide more than 5 stars! Despite the best efforts of rain and fog, we had an excellent day exploring the coast. The countryside is beautiful to behold from both the bus and the train. Ride the chair lift, do the good luck pose, eat kaisendon and visit the temple in Amanohashidate. If you don't join the boat tour, take a stroll through Ine to appreciate the Funaya (boat houses), sip some tea by the sea, and keep an eye out for eagles and macaques. We are hoping to stay in the area next time due to this great tour.

Excellent tour with a funny, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable guide. We had Steven, who was also very generous and made the day thoroughly enjoyable. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful and well worth spending a full day exploring. Highly recommend!

Today’s tour with Mr. Joe’s was excellent!!! We love his humor and energy. Thank you so much, Mr. Joe for the amazing tour today. We enjoyed a lot and hoping to see you again on our Easy go tour. Arigatou!!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour (departed from Osaka). Our tour guide, Joe, made the entire day exceptional. We were visiting from San Francisco with our extended family of 10, including several young kids, and Joe went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. One decision he made was reversing the itinerary taking us to Nara Park first. we were able to see and feed the deer before the deer crackers sold out! Another highlight was that Joe personally walked our group through the monkey park forest trail (all the way to the top.) He took our family photo and gave us time to enjoy feeding the monkeys. He cared that everyone had the best experience. Take this tour when visiting Osaka - if you’re lucky enough to get Joe as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. Thank you, Joe, for making our family’s day one of the highlights of our Japan trip!
