The itinerary was absolutely perfect. We had a very enjoyable trip to Kyoto. Our tour leader, Ethan, was very responsible, explained everything in great detail, and was very attentive. We had a wonderful day.

A group of 11 of us made a reservation for Saturday, March 7th! Our guide was Noah, and it was great how he gave impactful explanations about each location while we were traveling on the bus. I had previously visited Kyoto with a friend using the subway, but this time, with a larger group and diverse age range, we booked a bus tour, and it was definitely more comfortable, haha. It was wonderful to have the freedom to explore once we arrived at the parking lots near the tourist spots. At Kinkaku-ji, Noah even allowed those who wanted to rest to stay on the bus, which our group really appreciated! Although the Kiyomizu-dera itinerary was shortened to two hours due to circumstances in Kyoto, which was a bit disappointing, everything else was truly excellent. I also liked that he took good photos for us. We enjoyed delicious meals at the restaurants he recommended for both lunch and dinner!

I booked the tour with Kyoto, and my tour guide was HAN from Local Guide STARS. She was great, and I really enjoyed the tour with her. She was eager to answer all the questions and very attentive to ensure that everyone in the group was following. She explained each spot enthusiastically and also recommended photo stops. As a solo traveller, it was good as I often don't have the opportunity to get my photos taken. I recommend Han (from Myanmar) to everyone taking this tour and would love to see her again in the future as well. Good luck to her.

Our guide, Oh Seok-bong, was incredibly kind and made the bus rides fly by, sharing fascinating facts about Japan that we never knew. During the tour, he recommended must-see places and great restaurants, and even sent us a list of Osaka's best eateries via KakaoTalk afterward. Local recommendations truly make a difference! We felt so reassured and had a wonderful time with him. If we visit Japan again, we'd love to have the same guide :)

Very interesting visit. Despite my English not being excellent, I understood the explanations from our guide, Logan. Gion is a very beautiful place. I was delighted to learn so much about geishas.
