It was our 12th day in Japan, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

our tour guide CC was superb! I was the only english speaking participant in our group, the rest were Chinese and she never made me feel left out. she would give a history and some quick guides to the group first and then would check with me after separately! it was rainy on that day but still managed to go through the itinerary. we had enough time to go around each place and the pickup and drop off place is very convenient especially if you are staying at the dotonbori area. would recommend especially for solo travellers to save time getting lost and to know a bit of history to the places as well :)

Before the activity, I suddenly realized I had left my phone in the taxi. The driver quickly asked a senior tour guide near the meeting point to help communicate and resolve the issue, and I successfully got my lost phone back. The one-day tour experience was great; it was arranged with a small van, so there weren't many people, and we gathered quickly. There was ample time at each attraction to explore and take photos.

This trip covered 3 major attractions and the activities proposed were very interesting as well I personally love the last attraction at Nara Park. Free Deer cookies were included in this package and I was able to interact and lived an unforgettable experience with the precious deers. ❤️This itinerary is not only for families with children, but also for all different ages ! Our tour guide Ms Wang is wonderful and kind. We have learned a lot from her and we can use these info for our future trips if we were back to Japan!

We had a great time! One of the highlights of this trip was collecting the 6 stamps in Katsuoji… such a fun and memorable experience! 😍 Abigail is a great tour guide… very approachable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She made sure we were well-informed throughout the trip and really took care of everyone. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

We had such a great day on this tour with Apple. Apple was great at giving information about each place before we arrived. We were provided with must see and visit recommendations to help us whilst exploring Arashiama on our own. All of the stops are beautiful. The tour itself was very efficient with just enough time in each place to see all the highlights. Would definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this Kyoto walking tour! A special thanks to our guide, Yasuo, who was incredibly friendly and professional. His detailed explanations throughout the tour made the entire journey relaxing and enjoyable. The transportation was also punctual and comfortable. This was a five-star experience!

What to know before visiting Mino

Quick snapshot of Mino and what to expect

Mino attracts most bookings for historical sites and guided tours, and visitor demand swings a lot through the year. Klook data shows a strong peak in December and a clear lull in August and the surrounding months, so the city’s rhythm shifts between busy holiday periods and very quiet stretches.

Best months to visit based on demand and prices

According to Klook booking data, December is the busiest month while August is the quietest. Prices are unusual: they stay low for much of the year but spike around September, so demand and price don’t always move together — peak demand in December does not coincide with the priciest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, choose the trough months around August and July; if you want the peak-season atmosphere, aim for December but expect higher demand then.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia typically book about a week in advance, with many last-minute bookings possible a day or two before travel. For short trips you can be flexible and often book experiences close to your travel dates; if you’re visiting in busy December, plan and lock in popular tours slightly earlier to secure spots on your preferred dates.
