Kyoto Day trips

Our tour guide, Hua Hua(花花）, provided exceptional service, offering clear explanations and invaluable assistance throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for those interested in visiting these two locations.

We had an amazing day trip to Ine and Amanohashidate. Ine’s traditional boathouses were peaceful and charming, while Amanohashidate’s scenic views were absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect mix of culture and nature — truly a memorable experience!

Christine was an absolute rockstar as our guide—super knowledgeable and made every stop exciting with her fun facts and tips. And shoutout to Mr. Yamada for keeping us rolling smoothly! The pace was just right—never felt rushed, got to soak in every spot. 10/10, would tour with them again in a heartbeat!

Thank you, tour guide Xiao Gao, for taking us to see our first snowfall ❄️! I finally truly understand that snowflakes are "really hexagonal"! Videos or online photos are too "flat". Real snowfall has layers of distance, including speed, density, and angle, interwoven into the romantic world described by poets. I really like the attractions you planned. The three main points were arranged perfectly, a very strong route plan! But I think it would be better if the time allocated for Miyama could be extended. Actually, you can really find a corner here to enjoy coffee and daydream! Also, tour guide Xiao Gao's story about "young people" at the end was hilarious. I can totally understand because my hometown also has a serious aging population! Finally, I wish you and your children peace and happiness 🎉. As long as you are safe, you can find the radiance shining through the leaves, and this radiance can help small trees grow into big trees 🌳!

This trip with guide Oh Seok-bong was wonderful! He provided great travel tips, restaurant information, and even made lunch reservations, helping in every way to ensure we could focus on the trip. He was humorous and provided historical and social information about Kyoto and Nara, making the trip even more enriching. I had been hesitant, but it was a waste of time to worry. He even gave us restaurant information for our drop-off location to take care of dinner. While independent travel is good, it's also great to follow a well-planned schedule made by experts.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.

This was a very lovely tour. Huang, our guide was very knowledgeable. We got to learn so much about the geisha history and culture of Kyoto! I would recommend this tour, although, do wear comfy shoes as the two hour of straight walking and standing would not do any good to your already battered feet lol.

Teddy took us all around Kyoto and was amazing as our tour guide. He sent us messages along the way and what to expect. This tour felt fast, but that was because we had 4 stops to go to in one day. Great if you’re in a time crunch and want to see all the spots. Not so much if you want to try everything like speedrun the 10823 gates. Maybe next time we’ll spend more time at the temple for hair and pray to the god that my husband doesn’t lose more of his hair.

The tour was very fun and enjoyable. The places are really scenic and worth seeing. Because the attractions are mostly open spaces, it didn’t feel very crowded even though multiple tour groups visit the place together. I would probably walk around Ine Funaya rather than take the boat if ever I go the next time. The boat was nice because you could take great photos of the houses but it felt like you couldn’t really immerse yourself in the surrounding. If there was a point of improvement, I feel like the guide could have been a bit more accommodating. It felt like he was very preoccupied with the time more than ensuring the guests enjoyed their trip. Since the tour group was quite big, it would have helped if he could maybe explain the history or give instructions by batch especially for thos who fall behind. It was slightly irritating especially in Amanohashidate when we would get reminders of the time every 30-45mins. That said, the tour had to visit so many places in a limited time.
