Biwako Valley tours

This was my first time joining a KLOOK one-day tour, and from the start, I was impressed by our guide Liu Du's professionalism. He seamlessly switched between Chinese, English, and Japanese for the tour commentary (speaking with a gentle and refined local charm). Throughout the trip, he was very attentive and caring towards the group members, providing detailed explanations. He was also very clear about pick-up/drop-off points and time management. At the Lake Biwa observation deck, he recommended we take the second cable car up to the very top to enjoy 360-degree views, and also suggested trying Omi beef steak, among other things. All of these experiences left us with wonderful memories of Kyoto. Thank you, Liu Du, and thank you, KLOOK, for such a fantastic tour. We look forward to seeing you again next time!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the tour. Special thanks to our tour guide, 郑雅菲, for her guidance, and to the bus driver for ensuring a safe and smooth journey throughout our day trip. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, with rain and mist throughout the day, we still appreciated the opportunity to take the ropeway, walk across the Sky Bridge, and capture beautiful photos along the way. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and truly appreciate the efforts of the tour guide and bus driver. Thank you!

Overall it was a good and enjoyable experience for me. I'm a Thai solo traveller. Since these places are difficult to go by public transportation so this tour is convenient. Though this tour members were mainly Chinese, the Guide Zoey still supported and tried to look out for English speaking members as best as she can. Personally, I like Biwako Valley, Umikado, and La Collina. It was a shame that the day I went with the tour(5 Nov), the top of the mountain was foggy so everyone couldn't see the Biwa lake view from up there but fortunately we see the Lake when we rode the cable. Umikado Temple is peaceful & relaxing. La collina is a nice place too. Shirahige Shrine is okay. It's beautiful but it's a little bit small and nothing much to see.

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

The travel distance was a bit long, but the attraction itself was beautiful, making it well worth it. The cable car was a bit expensive, but still recommended. As for the tour guide, they were a bit disorganized; they actually lost a group member's cable car ticket and then went around asking if anyone had an extra. Their ticket management skills could definitely be improved.
