Reviews
We wanted an afternoon tour and this fit the bill. There were three locations visited. We got to spend the adequate amount of time in experience the main attraction. Our tour guide was efficient, sometimes funny, and very upbeat. Our group had approximately 40 persons, which was larger than I had expected, but am not surprised, given that we were visiting Kyoto in the peak of the very popular cherry blossom season. Unfortunately, the chilly on/off rain, and immensely huge crowds at each locale put a damper to my personal enjoyment, but the tour itself did what it was supposed to do. We got to see some iconic spots and were professionally transported by Sunrise Tours with ease between each one, on a very comfortable tour bus. I would recommend this tour if you're short on time or don't want to tour earlier in the day.
Very enjoyable tour. Our tour guide, KC (or Casey? not sure of the spelling) was very professional. It was extremely hot in Kyoto and he constantly checked with everyone during the tour if we were okay. The bus was also comfortable with good air conditioning. My only suggestion would be to provide clearer bathroom breaks at each site. In summary, I enjoyed the tour and would recommend it !
Our tour guide was very accommodating and humorous although we noticed he appeared to be a senior citizen. Yet he had the energy to handle all the demands of the trip. Very pleased that we were picked up on time at the appointed place although we were the only group from Osaka. And we were accompanied back to where we were picked up.
This's realy nice trip! i will introduce to my friend for their trip in next few months.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour in Kyoto. Our tour guide Saiko was very informative, funny and helpful. The tour was just what my family and I wanted - a very quick and fun way to discover beautiful Kyoto through sacred temples, shrines and food. Everything was timed and systematic so this is not for anyone who wants to just take their time. Thank you Klook for taking care of our reservations. We will definitely do this tour the next time we're back.
The tour itself is quite brief but it gives you an overview of Kyoto. The tour guide and the transfer guides are very helpful. They will assist you throughout the whole process. It was our first time booking a tour with Klook but Sunrise Tours were just great that we would use Klook again for our Tokyo trip on December
Nice tour guide. Pleasant experience. Will definitely come again.
The trip is a little rush, each time there is not much time to visit, the tour guide of the English really do not understand (Japanese cavity is very heavy), a lot of people in the water, easy to lose, no tour guide contact can not be temporary contact, the car suggested one Bottle of water, the leader of the tour guide attitude is very cordial.
We love this short kyoto tour because it's shows us the beauty of kyoto
It was a wonderful snapshot tour! We went to beautiful Buddhist temples all around Kyoto. We really liked the scenic view.
