Kyoto Arashiyama Fushimi Inari and Nara Deer Day Tour

A must-choose for families with kids! This Nara day tour was truly the best decision we made on our Osaka trip, and I highly recommend it! First, let's talk about our guide, Tina. She was incredibly kind and attentive. The night before the tour, she proactively contacted us to confirm the meeting time and location, and even reminded us of small details to keep in mind when traveling with children. This made us feel very reassured even before the trip began. On the day of the tour, Tina was patient throughout. She actively offered to take family photos for us, so we didn't even have to ask. And her photos were truly professional quality, not at all like those taken by a random passerby. Looking back at them, every picture is full of wonderful memories. Along the way, Tina enthusiastically recommended a fantastic kimono rental shop. They had a wide selection of new and stylish kimonos, and even suitable sizes for children, who looked absolutely adorable in them! At lunchtime, she suggested several authentic local restaurants, saving us the trouble of searching online. Every place she recommended was excellent, allowing us to enjoy our meals comfortably with the kids, which eliminated a lot of hassle. For families with children, the biggest plus of this tour was its incredible convenience! Our stroller could stay on the tour bus the entire time, so we didn't have to push it on and off trains or buses, saving us a huge amount of energy and time. We had initially worried about the difficulties of taking public transport with young children, but instead, we traveled comfortably by car directly to each attraction. The adults were relaxed, and the children didn't get overtired and fussy. The itinerary planning also deserves special praise. We were so glad we didn't choose to ride the Arashiyama Scenic Railway, as that would have made the schedule very rushed. The guide's arrangements allowed us to enjoy a leisurely lunch, then stroll and explore Arashiyama at our own pace, taking photos and browsing shops without feeling rushed. We truly experienced the relaxed atmosphere of Arashiyama. The pace for Fushimi Inari and Nara was also perfectly managed. The children were incredibly excited to see the deer in Nara Park, and everyone, young and old, had a comfortable and joyful time. In summary, this day tour allowed us to visit Fushimi Inari, Nara, and Arashiyama in the most relaxed way possible. All the travel time was saved, and we had an attentive guide looking after us throughout. I genuinely highly recommend it to families traveling with children or elderly relatives!

We had an amazing time exploring nara, arashiyama, kyoto, and fushimi inari. Our tour guide - Fred, was very accommodating, very informative, full of humor too. For those who are looking for 1 day tour, this is definitely worth the try! 👍

Valerie did an amazing job keeping the energy up while giving great information about the places we were visiting. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto for the first time. Thank you very much Valerie!!!

We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide Frederick! He was not only very knowledgeable and helpful, but also funny and made the whole trip more enjoyable. His kindness, patience, and great personality made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. We truly appreciate all the effort he put into making our experience memorable. Highly recommended. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! 😊

The itinerary was great, we were able to go to the deer park before the peak of visitors arrive. The flow was great also. We were in Arashiyama at lunch time which allows us to try the local cafés and restaurants there. Tori gates at sunset was a delight! But the highlight for me is how attentive our guide Valerie is to each and everyone of us, imagine a full tour bus and she would constantly check on us one by one to make sure we are comfortable and have everything we need. More than that, she would even connect with you personally to check your preference and would go the extra mile to help you if you have specific requests.

Everything was great, an excellent guide who was very kind to everyone. She cares about the fun and well-being of each and every one of her travelers. Zoey is always smiling and very happy, and she shares that happiness with you.

Our family has been on many tours around the world, but we’ve never experienced one as well-organized and thoughtfully run as this Nara and Kyoto tour. From the detailed information shared in the group chat before, during and after the tour to the helpful tips throughout the day, everything was seamless! Our tour guide, Valerie, was absolutely exceptional. Despite having a full bus of travellers, she took the time to personally check in with everyone. She planned toilet breaks, ensured everyone had time to rest on the bus, and kept the day running smoothly. Our daughter, who has joined us on many tours, said that Valerie is the best tour guide she’s ever had—and we couldn’t agree more. Valerie’s warmth, kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made this one of the highlights of our trip. To Valerie’s manager: Please give this woman a raise! She is an incredible ambassador! we’ve already recommended both this tour and Valerie to all our friends and family.

Our tour guide Frederick great!! He kept everyone safe and explained everything to the greatest detail. The day went smoothly and he was considerate with our tour timing because of the blazing heat. Would recommend!! 👍👍👍

trip was very amazing especially "VALERIE" our guide she was very professional and take care of all group members, the way she explained the history of places, so professional her English was too good i personally recommended this tour with this company one's again thanks VALERIE

Oscar was really great. Very informative when explaining the history of tourist attractions during our tour. One thing that gave me an impression is that whe he said “how does japanese express their love to someone?” :) and somebody said “aishteru” but Oscar said “ The moon is so bright” What a revelation and a moment to remember.
