Excursão de um dia saindo de Kyoto para Fushimi Inari-Taisha | Arashiyama | Kiyomizu-Dera

Our guide was the humorous Yuki-san from Osaka. He's a friendly guy who speaks English and Japanese. I'm here to praise him for a good job. My group wanted to see as much Kyoto as possible in one day, so we chose this trip. It felt rushed but we got every photo shot we wanted. We paid only the Kinkaku-ji entrance fee, had Yuba lunch and yatsuhashi (which Yuki-san recommended) around Kiyomizu-dera. It's recommended if you're in Kyoto for a short time. I really like the Kinkakuji. This tour saves time for transport and allows my group to rest in the bus. The bus leaves on time. The spots are totally crowded even on weekdays.

This was a great experience! We got to see so many attractions in Kyoto in just one day. This is great because it would have taken us a lot longer trying to navigate it ourselves. Plus, the tour guide spoke English and gave us history and information about each place and gave us plenty of time.

I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it, as you'll be able to see 3 major iconic attractions in Kyoto in one day. Jewell, our lovely tour guide and photographer, is knowledgeable and such a great storyteller about the history of Kyoto. I learned a lot while enjoying the beauty of these three attractions. She took us to this lovely restaurant for lunch, and I really loved the food. Thank you, Jewell, and to our driver for ensuring we had a wonderful and safe tour experience. Well done! Additionally, I must say that if you have plenty of time and want to fully explore the Arashiyama bamboo grove, do a separate tour (one day) and go early because it gets so busy and there's so much to do, like taking your perfect photos, wearing a kimono, or enjoying a ride, street food, and shopping 🛍️. This way, you can take your time if you truly want to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Arashiyama bamboo.

I think this experience is very good. If we tried to do this ourselves, it would take several days, but we were able to see important locations in just one day. Haru-san is very good and kind, and he explained the history and schedule very well. He also guided us very efficiently. I will recommend this to all first-time travelers.

素晴らしい日帰り旅行でした。スムーズな移動で、宣伝されていた観光スポットをすべて見ることができました。ランチはシンプルでしたが美味しく、量も十分でした（味は強くありませんでしたが、京都の料理は味が濃くないものです）。ガイドの「タミー」ことタミヤさんは、フレンドリーで知識が豊富で、英語も堪能でした。彼女は歩くのが速いです！主要な観光スポットが4つあるため、長距離を歩き、良いペースを保つ必要があります。そうでなければ、このツアーは良い選択ではないかもしれません。ドライバーは時間通りで、効率的かつ安全でした。道路上のすべてのドライバーが注意深いわけではありません。訪れた場所が世界遺産地域であるため、バスの駐車場から10〜15分ほど歩くこともありました（ゆっくりではなく、しっかりとしたペースで）。とても涼しく曇りで、比較的風のない日でした。金閣寺の水面に映る姿を見ることができて良かったです。本当に楽しめました！

Meeting spot was very easy to find. Mai-san was very good in her explanation for all the locations and never hesitated to help take our photographs. The lunch was actually fantastic and exceeded our expectations!

京都を味わうのに最適な方法です。3つの寺院と竹林を訪れましたが、どれもとても美しかったです！御朱印帳を手に入れて、寺院に記帳してもらうことを強くお勧めします😊自分への素晴らしいお土産になりますよ！

So, the itinerary is a bit intense, especially so in 38°C heat, but overall it was well worth it. The stop at Kiyomizu-Dera is definitely my highlight, as you first get to walk the street and check all the shops yourself, and then the views at the temple are stunning. The other stops were great photo opportunities too. The guide was so lovely and her English was pretty good, she told us a lot of interesting facts, and seemed very organised.

This tour hits all the highlights of Kyoto in one day. I was planning on public transport but all the sites were too spread out. Tour guide, Jewell was awesome. She kept us on track and knows exactly where to take the best photos. As written by some other guests, if you want to explore each site longer (Golden temple needs <1 hour) don't take this tour. 5/5.

The only downside is that we don't spend a lot of time at each location, but the food is great and we get to see some of Kyoto's iconic spots. Definitely get the lunch option! The guide talks about the history of each location on the bus, but when we arrive, we're free to explore at our own pace, which I enjoy. I recommend this tour for anyone looking to visit some of the most iconic spots in Kyoto!
