Reviews
it was a hot and humid summer day (about 97 degrees Fahrenheit) in July when we did the tour but we had a nice A/C bus with comfortable reclining chairs complete with footrest. it was a nice reprieve after being in the heat visiting all the places. Ms. Aki, our tour guide was a trooper! the heat never fazed her, she patiently explained all the history behind the sites. half of our group only did the morning part of the tour (Nara) and we had to go back to Kyoto station to drop them off. then we head out to lunch with a smaller group (about 9 people total). the meal was already prepared for us when we arrived at the restaurant which was nice. the rest of the afternoon was spent visiting more sites. Ms Aki gave us enough free time to explore. highly recommend this tour, she even had us do a quick detour to Kimono forest on the way to arashiyama bamboo forest. we did a lot despite the heat!
Such a beautiful and memorable experience. Being guided through such incredible places was so special! Highly recommend doing this tour if you can! I would do it again if I had the opportunity to visit again!
This tour is unlike others, no rush, nice pace, tour guide (a Japanese man) explains everything very calmly and clearly. And he follows us all the way (not just drop of at entrance). Highly recommended tour!!
We had a wonderful time and our guide, Ms Yoko was really great n patient. Every place we went was truly captivating and so beautiful.
The director and the driver were very friendly, but we had a busy schedule and the transportation was very convenient. The two of us were willing to join a group. The tour guide was willing to provide flexibility in the itinerary and was very friendly. The tour guide worked hard to explain, the vehicle was comfortable, the driver had good driving skills, and it was good to catch up on some sleep in the car.
It was a very good experience booking with Klook for our Kyoto/Nara tour. Our tour guide, Miss Yoko, was so kind, friendly and patient especially I brought a family of 7 that included an elderly and children. Great experience booking with Klook. 5 star ratings!!!
Of 04 day trips I'd through Klook, this the best w/HIS & Shimbo Sachiko is professional. Her proficiency in English helps to give more information throughout despite the time's bit rush for each site. 1st visit here on 3 days stay, got to pack in as many locations until next trip
I highly recommend this tour. We had a fantastic day and got to see everything on the schedule.
Great tour, tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Bus was large with around 40 people, mainly Japanese tourists. The commentary was in Japanese and English. Got to see loads in the short time, highly recommend.
Tour guides are very nice and accommodating. I fully recommend this tour!
