Osaka

For me travelling solo on this trip, the timing on this day trip was very flexible, in 伊根の舟屋 i was able to collect all the stamps (3 total) and also hike those 273 stairs (i think, i forgot the exact number lol) and do many sightseeing around the village. At 天橋立 the free time was 2 hours and that’s enough for spend time at Amanohashidate Viewland plus the beach, extra collecting the 3 stamps scattered over the Amanohashidate area.

Today I joined this tour with our guide, Sarah. Sarah is fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English at a native level, and her pronunciation in all three languages is impressively clear and standard. Even though it rained the entire day, her thoughtful, attentive, and meticulous service arrangement made it much less stressful. This was our first time visiting Nara Park. As a word of caution, people with limited mobility or slower reflexes 🤣 probably shouldn't buy deer crackers to feed the deer. The moment we bought the crackers, stags smelled them and came running over. I was actually headbutted in the back by a stag, and fortunately, an elderly gentleman helped chase it away. Because of this, we didn't dare feed the deer directly; we quickly dropped the crackers and left. That evening, I noticed a large red welt across my back. 🙏 The tour group was very diverse, with travelers from all over, and we had a wonderful time.

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! ❤️

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.

Hide was a fantastic guide. We would never have learnt as much without him. I thoroughly recommend this tour. We did the tour with our 2 teenage children and we all really enjoyed it.

We’re so glad we decided to book our group tour with GoGoDay! From start to finish, everything was very well organised, making our trip smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. A special thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Lui, who was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. We really appreciated how Lui shared interesting historical and cultural background at every place we visited. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with GoGoDay and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organised, enjoyable, and memorable group tour.
