Reviews
well arrange itinerary, our tour guide was experience and know how to entertain, guide, giving tips and tricks, flexible changes done to adjust our tour to the best and suggestion what to buy. worthy trip, it was enjoyable and fun
Our tour guide, Ms. Reiko, was very friendly, and the tour time at all the attractions was sufficient. However, the group meal tasted average and the souvenir (pink wine) at the shop was more expensive than other shops 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. The view at Amanohashidate was beautiful, and the one-day tour suited me well. We arrived back in Kyoto at 5 PM and Osaka at 6 PM, so there was still time to go shopping.
Enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic spots, from the single-person chairlift. Feeding the seagulls on the tour boat afterwards was also a lot of fun! Thanks to our tour guide, Moriyama Mingming, for the clear explanations throughout the trip and for helping us take photos, making it a delightful journey 😎
The itinerary was very well planned, and our tour guide provided detailed and informative explanations. The content was rich, including a cruise to feed seabirds and a scenic cable car ride up the mountain. A delicious lunch was also provided.
Due to some orders itinerary issues, both The Klook help desk and tour guide was very helpful getting to verify the status with local agency to solved it. Overall the Day trip was well organized, punctuated, good information and very fun.
The tour guide was approachable, the itinerary was comfortable, and the schedule was leisurely.
After a light rain, the weather cleared up in Kyoto by the Sea, and we enjoyed a fun boat ride. The itinerary was perfectly planned, and our guide, Kelly, was very dedicated and patient with the group. It's ideal for travelers who want to visit popular spots and take photos. Next time, I'd like to explore at a more leisurely pace!
Hana Higuchi, the tour guide, is kind and friendly, and also introduces delicious food. Before arriving at each attraction, she also tells short stories about Japanese history and gods. Amanohashidate is a highly recommended tourist spot that everyone should visit.
it was a great experience during winter! Our guide, Kelly, did an amazing job explaining the itinerary and keeping us organized. my highlight was feeding the seagulls at Ine Bay.
Amazing day trip from Osaka/Kyoto! The scenery at Amanohashidate was absolutely breathtaking, and the boat houses at Ine were so peaceful and unique. The guide was friendly, organized, and shared interesting information throughout the tour. I also really enjoyed visiting Chion-ji Temple and tasting the local seafood meal. The whole trip was smooth, relaxing, and well worth the price. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore a different side of Japan!
