Ryoanji Temple tours

This tour is everything! Kyoto is beautiful!John was our tour guide, he is very helpful and made sure we’re always good. It was snowing the day of our tour so that made it even better. I would definitely do this tour again around Fall or Summer.

This tour efficiently allowed me to experience Japan's most representative attractions in one day, with an itinerary that included Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Nara Park, and Todai-ji Temple. At Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the view overlooking Kyoto and the magnificence of the wooden architecture were impressive. At Fushimi Inari Shrine, walking along the endless path of torii gates allowed me to feel Japan's unique and mystical atmosphere. In Nara Park, the scenery of naturally blending with the deer was memorable, and the Great Buddha of Todai-ji Temple was overwhelming in scale and presence when I actually saw it. The tour guide, Songran Lee, provided very natural Korean explanations that were easy to understand, and she highlighted the key points of each location, allowing me to learn a lot in a short amount of time. In particular, the restaurant information she recommended during transit was practical and detailed, which was a great help during the trip. Overall schedule management, guidance, customer service, and other basic qualities as a guide were well-equipped, allowing me to enjoy the tour comfortably and with confidence! Overall, it was a stable and satisfactory tour, and I would especially recommend it to those visiting Kyoto and Nara for the first time!

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.

It was a beautiful night walk with small group of 6 people and our lovely guid Mao. Mao is really friendly and has good knowledge about the history, story of people and places in Kyoto . The tour was really enjoyable it made me forgot the time . We walk for 2 hours with fun and also respect the places we visit. I love the atmosphere of Kyoto at night it really romantic and beautiful. Recommend everyone to buy this tour it will make your trip in Kyoto more memorable .

Theodore Chan (Chan-san/Teddy-san) was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge of Kyoto was nothing short of impressive. Additionally, our tour had both English and Chinese speakers; his effort, ability, and consideration of all members was spectacular to witness and his respect of all parties was clearly evident. Along with our driver (Nakamura-san), we were able to get a sample of 4 wonderful sights of Kyoto (Nijo castle, Kinkaku-ji, Arashiyama, and Senbon Torii) with seamless transition from site-to-site. A full exploration of all monuments was had despite not having the time to fully traverse all of Senbon Torii. Our tour was booked in December, Chan-san explained the limitations of a 1-day tour but also provided insight to future tours (to include Sakura/Cherry Blossom season). I would happily rebook with Theodore Chan during to further explore our favorite sites. 5-stars for both the tour and the ease of joining with Klook.

It was a very nice trip. Our tour guide, Frederick was really helpful. He gave a lot of tips, recommended foods and provided google map links so we can easily find the restaurants. We really liked the itinerary of this trip.

Our tour guide Mr Liu was excellent — very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting insights throughout the trip. The schedule was intensive due to the distance, but he managed the limited time really well and kept everything on track without making us feel rushed. We truly appreciated his professionalism. Highly recommended if you want to have an experience that’s smooth, informative, and memorable!
