It would be much better if the tour guide knew English, communication is difficult!

The most dedicated part of the whole trip was the tour guide. The exchange of explanations in English and Japanese and the patient service were great. The small train with the matching train also allowed you to see the beauty of the red maple leaves.

Although the weather is relatively cold, it is very worthwhile to rush to take the Sano Train after lunch. There are red leaves along the way. Then we go to Kiyomizudera Temple, which is packed with people.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Sagano Romantic Train, the view was breathtaking. The visit to the Arashimaya Bamboo Forest is self-paced so I can take my own sweet time taking video and photos before heading to the train ride. I think it’s a great tour and the tour guide was friendly and helpful. If there’s a room for improvement, perhaps in Klook, the name of the tour operator should be mentioned clearly in the advertised tour. This is because when I asked chat support, they weren’t able to provide me with the name and asked me to wait near Kyoto Avanti bus stop. However, the bus actually waited in a different area 😅 so it seems like I was late when I was waiting based from the photo provided in the package. I think if this can be rectified, the experience could be further enhanced.

Abit on the rushed side for the whole trip. Guides are great and patient. Train ride was not very romantic.

It's my first time to participate. I think the service and attitude are better than expected. I will buy again next time.

The bus and guides were all in bright yellow which made it less likely to lose them in the crowd. They were all so very friendly as well. It would have been great if there were explanations done during each trip. Mostly we were just taken to each tourist spot, walked through the route, and then hurried to the next spot. We didn't have much time to take photos or appreciate fhe views. I wouldn't recommend taking the buffet lunch option since the food was a little bland. Unless you're really hungry, you would be better off heading straight to the market street and just buying small snacks here and there

I waited for about 20 minutes even arriving early at the meeting spot in front of Kyoto Avanti and tour guide did not show up. Not recommended
