The trip today was well-organized and on time. I really appreciate the kindness and warm welcome of our tour guide Ms. Vanessa. She is very responsive and cheerful. She is good in English communication, too. The driver is very careful in driving all day. All in all it is a worth it trip.

The itinerary was well-organized, and it was my first time riding in a 10-seater van with family seating, which was quite flexible. However, the time allotted to Uji was only 1 hour and 10 minutes, which wasn't enough.

Review for: Departure from meeting point (bus tour & independent guide)

The best decision to go to Osaka was to choose a one-day tour of Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple and Uji Onsen. So many attractions will definitely make your legs tired but save you trouble. I was even more fortunate to meet the tour guide Gary, who was very professional. Because the whole group came from all over the world, Gary switched back and forth between English, Cantonese and Mandarin throughout the trip. In addition, the sound of the microphone in the car was sometimes off, so he had to repeat the same thing several times, which was not easy. Where to eat with high cost performance, where to go to the bathroom without queuing, etc., no matter how big or small, he answered every question without getting tired of it; every little bit, too many to mention; young and old, gave enough emotional value.

Review for: Limited-time offer - Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan region

I had such a wonderful time on the Kyoto day trip! I especially want to thank our guide, Mr. Chang Ting-Chin. He was so friendly and welcoming, and his energy throughout the day made the whole trip so much fun. Mr. Chang is extremely knowledgeable about Kyoto's history and culture. At Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Uji Byodo-in Temple, he gave us detailed and engaging explanations, allowing us to truly understand the stories and cultural significance behind these attractions, instead of just quickly passing through. The Kaiseki lunch was also fantastic, allowing us to experience exquisite Japanese cuisine. More importantly, Mr. Chang was very attentive to the needs of the group members. He checked in on everyone throughout the day, ensuring everyone was having a fun and comfortable experience. He patiently and thoroughly answered any questions we had. Overall, it was a fantastic trip to Kyoto, and I am very grateful for Mr. Chang Ting-Chin's professionalism and enthusiasm! Highly recommended!

This is a small treasure trove that allows us to fully experience the special charm of Nara and Uji. The tour guide Etta is fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese, easily solving various communication problems, and patiently explaining the local cultural customs to us. Whether it is the etiquette of visiting the shrine or the habits of the deer, it makes the trip more fun. The whole day was wonderful and unforgettable, and it must be praised with five stars!

Our tour guide, Wu Jun Kai, was very helpful. The elderly couldn't walk too much, so he picked them up and dropped them off at the hotel for both the outbound and return trips. The service was really great.
