Viagem ao estilo japonês em Kyoto丨Passeio de um dia ao Kinkaku-ji (Pavilhão Dourado), Kiyomizu-dera (Templo Kiyomizu) e Fushimi Inari Taisha (Grande Santuário de Fushimi Inari)丨Partida de Osaka/Kyoto

During our 7-day, 6-night independent trip, we specifically set aside one day to join a group tour in Kyoto. The main attractions for this tour were Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. All the places on the itinerary were ones I really wanted to visit. I was incredibly nervous before we left, as it was my first time traveling this way, and it was a tour I personally really wanted to join. However, it turned out to be truly wonderful; the time management and itinerary planning were all very appropriate. I want to give a huge thank you to our tour guide, Xiao Fu (Alvin) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Throughout the trip, he explained the history of the attractions in both Chinese and English, and also shared many recommended restaurants, allowing us to make efficient use of our time. He also reminded everyone of the meeting times and locations in the group chat when appropriate. Our group was quite large, so we traveled by bus, but Xiao Fu still checked in on everyone's well-being and if they had any specific food preferences, etc., and he was always enthusiastic to help. Especially when my son fell and injured both knees, Xiao Fu immediately went to buy disinfectant and dressings for us as soon as he found out. We are truly grateful; otherwise, we might not have been able to relax and enjoy ourselves. My son later felt a bit shy but wanted to thank this 'big brother.' We returned to Osaka around 6 PM, which gave us plenty of time to shop. After returning home, everyone felt that the day was fulfilling and enjoyable.

このツアーを直前に予約しましたが、後悔はしていません！フレデリックは素晴らしいガイドで、20人以上のグループで英語と中国語を完璧に切り替えていました。バスは時間通りに出発するので、遅れないでください。彼はどこへ行き、どこで集合し、何時に戻るかについて、本当に明確な指示を出してくれます。十分な自由時間と、良い写真を撮る場所の指示もありました。ただし、清水寺では、すべての見どころを回りたいなら素早く移動する必要があります。可能であれば、後日改めて訪れて、このツアーを土地勘を掴むために利用することをお勧めします。京都は広範囲にわたっているので、お金を払う価値は十分にあります。ただし、たくさんの階段と歩行を覚悟してください。

Kyoto, la hermosa. Recomiendo encarecidamente reservar este viaje cuando visite Japón. Hay mucho que ver en Kioto. Nuestro guía turístico, Jack, es increíble; nos recordaba constantemente por mensaje de texto que volviéramos a tiempo para asegurarnos de que no perdiéramos el autobús después de explorar los lugares que visitamos. ¡Una experiencia maravillosa!

We booked this tour last minute after realizing that Kyoto is a little harder to navigate. Gary was amazing and so informative. Everything was clear from start to finish, and the Google Maps links provided for the meet-up spots made for an easy tour! He goes above and beyond for his dear guests, and we appreciated it! Lots of time to see the sights, have lunch, and shop without feeling rushed. 5 stars!

Our tour guide, Frederick (小戴), provided us with an exceptional experience. Our group included speakers of Chinese, English, and Japanese, and he effortlessly switched between all three languages while offering in-depth explanations—especially on the differences between shrines and temples. His directions and recommendations for each destination were clear and helpful, and he enriched our journey with fascinating background information about every stop.

I think this trip is just perfect for a first-timer. Although it's given that it's very fast-paced due to time constraints, I believe you have enough time to roam around and see the place. I love that this trip is self-guided, so you can go to all the places you want. And our tour guide, Jack, made sure everyone was informed by sending a chat with the meeting/pickup location (with a Google Maps link) for every stop, so we wouldn't get lost. Highly recommended!

Ms. Etta arrived on time, was well-organized, and provided excellent cultural information. She was also easy to understand and converse with, approachable, and full of life. She explained every detail of the places we visited. Highly recommended!

Glad that I chose this tour and having a group of considerate tourist is a plus point. Our Tour guy Fredrick was very helpful in guiding us to each destination and meet up point. Will recommend to anyone :)

We went on a tour with many Chinese-speaking people and only 3 English-speaking. Our Tour Guide, Jun, ensured we were included in the conversation along with all the other passengers. Thank you for having us along for the ride, Jun. It was a pleasure riding with you!!!

We didn't expect a full tour, mainly because it was our first time in Japan and we had a toddler. However, we did visit all three locations and took photos. As expected, there wasn't enough time to visit Ninenzaka and Fushimi Inari. The bus driver allowed us to bring a stroller on the bus, and the tour guide was always easily accessible on WhatsApp. Overall, we were satisfied.
