Reviews
The itinerary was very well-planned, and the yukata experience was special. We were able to keep the yukata until the end of the trip, returning it in Hakata, which allowed us to wear the beautiful yukata for photos throughout our journey. Our tour guide, Zhang Qing, was incredibly attentive throughout the entire trip. In addition to providing detailed explanations of the historical sites and local culture, she proactively helped us take photos and was very happy to offer information on local dining and shopping. If we visit Kyushu again, we hope to have Zhang Qing as our excellent guide once more!
Guide was friendly and to the point. Niki castle was overrated for me- had empty rooms inside which made no sense to me. Kinkaku-ji is a must do in Kyoto, Aarishyama area and Fushimi Inari were superb too. my parents don’t walk a lot but they were able to do this comfortably in the time that we had each place. we just went to the start point for Fushimi inari. For aarishiyama do take the bamboo route and then enter the Tenryu-ji temple from back gate- it cut downs the walking and the temple has a lovely garden
A very worthwhile and versatile tour to discover the region’s attractions, led by a guide with excellent soft skills and a compassionate approach.
The tour was very enjoyable and well organized. It was so beautiful and feels relaxing, and the views were amazing. Our driver was also very helpful and kind, making sure we were comfortable and guiding us along the way. Overall, it was a great experience and made our trip even more memorable.
our tour guide YANG explained everything perfectly, we were always on time, great communication and real fun!
This tour is very comprehensive and comfortable, allowing you to see Kyoto's must-see sights in just a few hours.
