Passeio guiado de dia inteiro por Osaka, Quioto, Lago Biwa e La Collina

Thanks to our Tour guide Ms CC, the whole journey was pleasant. Even though the scenic spots are far from Osaka, the travel distance between each of them is within 30-40mins. What’s more, the view is gorgeous and breathtaking, making every minute spent on travelling worth it. Apart from that, Ms CC is considerate enough to offer recommendations and take photos for us in each spot. All in all, I would definitely suggest this package to prospective visitors.

The best way to experience distant places is by booking a tour. It's hassle-free, and a tour guide manages your time at each visited location. So far, I've enjoyed every place on this tour. Prepare extra cash for the ticket ride to The Biwako Terrace. Their cafes and restaurants accept credit card payments. I didn't regret paying to relax and enjoy my drink in the Infinity Lounge. Summer was really hot in Japan, so I had an umbrella and a portable fan.

It was truly a delightful day trip. The large tour bus was clean and comfortable, and the driver drove smoothly and steadily. Of course, the most important thing was meeting an excellent tour guide, Xiao Du. He could explain and communicate in three different languages, which was superb! He was gentle, meticulous, and very attentive. He even gave us a bonus (a recommendation for a hidden gem), which added even more color to an already rich itinerary. We are full of gratitude. Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up!!!

This is a meaningful tour visiting four locations: Shirahige Shrine, Sanzen-in Temple, Mangetsuji Temple, and La Collina. I chose it to see Shiga Prefecture, which is not well-known in the Kinki region, and it was great to see the magnificent Lake Biwa, which is quite large. Sanzen-in Temple, included as an alternative to the Lake Biwa Terrace during the winter season, unfortunately turned out to be a temple located in Kyoto Prefecture. Personally, I would prefer a schedule that only includes attractions in Shiga Prefecture, excluding Sanzen-in. It seems that an image upgrade is needed for Shiga Prefecture tours. Unfortunately, the tour bus (18-seater) was old and fully booked with no empty seats, so if you ended up in a bad seat, you had to endure the discomfort of a long journey.

This was my first time joining a KLOOK one-day tour, and from the very beginning, I was impressed by our guide Liu Du's professionalism. He switched between Chinese, English, and Japanese for the commentary (speaking with a gentle and refined local charm), and throughout the trip, he was very caring and attentive to the group members. His explanations were very detailed, and he was clear about pick-up/drop-off points and time management. At the Lake Biwa observation deck, he recommended we take the second cable car up to the very top to see the 360-degree view, and also suggested trying Omi beef steak, among other things. All of these experiences left us with wonderful memories of Kyoto. Thank you, Liu Du, and thank you, KLOOK, for such a fantastic itinerary. We look forward to meeting again next time!

Our driver (tour guide), Mr. Nick Lee, was really friendly and knowledgeable. He shared many little insights about the towns we drove past that a typical free-and-easy traveler would never discover. We visited three main attractions: Sanzen-in Temple, Shirahige Shrine, and the Metasequoia Avenue, enjoying beautiful views of Lake Biwa along the way. The weather was wonderful that day, which made the journey even more enjoyable. We were able to see the 'lucky deers' on our way to Sanzen-in Temple and easily had one of our best tonkatsu for lunch :-) Thank you so much to Mr. Nick Lee for driving us for hours, offering helpful suggestions, and sharing interesting stories throughout the trip. The day tour was definitely worth it, considering the distance covered, the little stories, and the wonderful locations we were able to visit.

I was very satisfied with this Lake Biwa day trip experience. The Chinese-speaking guide made communication seamless, and the point-to-point transportation was very smooth. The floating architecture of Ukimido Temple complemented the scenery of Lake Biwa perfectly, making for excellent photos. La Collina has a large, well-designed park area; enjoying the unique grass-roofed buildings while savoring the limited-edition matcha red bean dorayaki was truly delightful. It's a worry-free and fulfilling Kansai suburban itinerary!

The scenery of Lake Biwa is truly beautiful! Our tour guide, Ms. Wu Fengyu, was very polite. The observation deck on the mountain accessed by the Lake Biwa Ropeway offers excellent views of the lake, and it was lovely to enjoy donuts and drinks there.

Carina, nuestra guía turística, fue excelente. Habla inglés y mandarín con mucha fluidez y pudo explicarnos el trasfondo de los lugares que visitamos. El tiempo dedicado a cada atracción fue suficiente y nunca dejó de informarnos a qué hora debíamos subir al autobús. Fue un viaje agradable y tranquilo. Muy recomendable.

Our tour guide is always ready to help, whether needed or not. By the way, as much as I want to keep the Lake Biwa tour a secret, this was a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect much, but voilà! It was so good!
