Kyoto Day trips

The trip was so much fun, and I was impressed from start to finish! 🇯🇵💙 I especially want to praise our tour guide, Mika. Mika is very friendly, takes great care of the tour members, and clearly communicates the schedule and details, which made the trip worry-free and relaxing without having to stress about transportation. Along the way, Mika provided great information about the various locations, recommended interesting spots, and even helped take photos. 📸 She is so attentive to everyone; even with limited time, she still managed the schedule so that everyone could fully enjoy sightseeing and taking pictures. As for Ine Fishing Village, it is beautiful and left a lasting impression. 🛶🌊 This day trip felt truly worthwhile. Thank you, Mika, for taking such good care of us and making today's trip a wonderful memory. ❤️ Highly recommended! If you have the chance to visit Ine and Amanohashidate, this trip is definitely not to be missed. 🇯🇵✨

All of the places we’ve visited today makes our day sooo worthwhile! We got chased by deers in Nara Park relaxed after and forest bathed in Arashiyama and ending it getting amazed with the thousand tori gates! I started to love Matcha too~ the tour today got more fun with Sarah! She’s a very fun tour guide telling us history of Japan in general and more on the places we’re going. She’s very detailed too and gave us tips. We appreciate her! 🙌

Good tour cover main attractions that are just enough and not too tiring. Also suitable for old people, kids. There is not much walking so it’s a good break from some tiring days taking train around. Tour guide Zoey is very accommodating and helpful. The drive was smooth.

What a magnificent day! We are still talking about this wonderful trip. Our guide, Laura, was absolutely fantastic! She was very articulate, knowledgeable, and shared lovely and interesting stories about each place we visited. She really made the whole experience extra special. The trip was perfectly organised from start to finish. Everything went smoothly, and we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy each location without ever feeling rushed. Ending the day with a boat trip was the perfect finishing touch! Our bus driver was also wonderful—very friendly and professional, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. If you’re looking to visit somewhere different and have a truly memorable experience, this trip is an absolute must! Thank you so much, Laura and the whole team. We had the best time and will remember this beautiful day for a long time! ❤️

We did a similar walk last year but this one was with a smaller group and we went to some different areas so it was nicer. Our guide Alejandro was excellent, his knowledge of the area was great and he was happy to answer any questions. all in all it was an enjoyable 2 hrs walking tour and excellent value for money.

awesome experience! it's really rare to meet a geisha/maiko and it was so fun to play a game with her so close

Mr Shine is an excellent tour guide speaking well in English, Mandarin & Japanese. I learn a lot from him, he is very hard working on his heard of tourist. Kyoto & Nara sequence is adjusted to suit the weather. Unfortunately it rained lightly the whole day & the sun did not "shine". I stll enjoyed being guided with fond memories provided by Mr Shine. Be careful not to feed the deers as I got pushed on my back by 2 male deers who smell busicuits carried by me, dirtied my clothes! I recommend to follow Shine's offer of 6 choices lunch which you pay to restaurant yourself, A Mr Shine's value added service.

We boarded the bus in Kyoto, and our tour group consisted of members from various countries. Our guide, Xiao Shen, switched into four-language mode, introducing everything in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. His humorous and engaging style made everyone feel very comfortable. Xiao Shen handled all ticket purchases, coordination, and provided information about the train, Arashiyama route, and meeting points via Line. This allowed us to explore freely and simply meet at the designated time. The driver was excellent, providing a smooth ride that prevented motion sickness, and the seats were clean and comfortable. During the Hozugawa River boat ride, the weather was perfect. Four boatmen guided us downstream, introducing the environment and rock formations with simple animal vocabulary, accompanied by physical interactions and occasional tricks from the boatmen. With a gentle breeze and beautiful scenery, the trip was truly enjoyable.

This was a wonderful trip! Our guide, Mr. Lui (柳), provided very clear details and even sent translated messages in Thai for me. Overall, I am extremely impressed. Mr. Lui is multilingual, able to communicate in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and he even helped take couple photos for us. Before the trip, he also sent weather alerts so we could prepare beforehand. ☺️☺️☺️
