Passeios por Kiyomizudera Temple

From the moment I saw the name, I knew this was the person for me... I thought my trip to Kyoto would be really fun, and it certainly was! They were incredibly kind and explained everything in great detail, making the trip twice as enjoyable! Not only did they provide detailed explanations about the spots, but they also shared insights into Japanese culture and their life experiences, which kept things from getting boring. Also, there aren't many tours that include Nara, so I compared many options, and this tour was 100,000,000,000,000% satisfying. :) After the tour, they even recommended a great restaurant near Namba and offered to make a reservation if possible, so I asked for a yakiniku place. The first bite was amazing... It was truly, truly, truly delicious, the best meat I've ever had in my life!!! It was a happy tour where I felt reassured by their offer to contact them anytime if I needed other restaurant recommendations, had questions, or faced difficulties during my trip, and I felt like I had met a wonderful person.

We were very well accompanied by our guide Yoshii. Thanks to him for his kindness and for these two beautiful visits, as well as his advice for the rest of our trip.

Our tour guide, Yuzu, provided incredibly detailed and vivid explanations, and shared many interesting local stories. She was also very thoughtful in helping us take photos to remember our trip. Even when we didn't book meals, she enthusiastically recommended delicious restaurants. The overall service was very comprehensive, and the travel experience was extremely pleasant. Katsuo-ji Temple, with its abundance of Daruma dolls, was very eye-catching and interesting, creating a unique atmosphere. Even just the streets surrounding Kiyomizu-dera Temple were great for browsing. Remember to set aside some time to get a Goshuin (temple stamp) inside the temple; it's a wonderful souvenir. The ancient and picturesque scenery of Arashiyama was breathtaking. Taking a rickshaw deep into the secret bamboo forest paths was truly an experience worth having!

My family and I, together with my wife and our 7 year old daughter, joined a wonderful day tour visiting Katsuoji Temple, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and the famous Kiyomizu-dera. The entire trip was well organized and very enjoyable for all of us. Each destination offered something special. Katsuoji Temple was peaceful and unique with its many Daruma dolls, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove was breathtaking, and Kiyomizu-dera was truly impressive with its beautiful views and historic atmosphere. What made the tour even more memorable was our guide, Nick. He was entertaining, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Throughout the trip he shared interesting facts, stories, and historical insights about each location, making the journey both fun and educational. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for my family. Nick’s enthusiasm and guidance made the tour smooth, engaging, and very memorable. Highly recommended for families visiting Osaka and 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.

Easily accessible meeting point (tourist bus parking in front of Kyoto Station - Shinkansen side/Avanti Shopping Center), precise, efficient, and very kind guide, splendid itinerary to visit Kyoto's main attractions with organization but also a certain flexibility. I highly recommend it.

This was a tour I used while contemplating my first trip to Japan with just my son. I had a lot of worries, but thanks to our guides Ruri and Woohui, who are fluent in both Korean and English, and our bus driver who drove safely, we were able to have a fun and enjoyable tour. The places they recommended at each tour point were also excellent. I plan to use this tour again next time. It would be great if we could meet again then! Thank you!

We LOVED this tour. Our guide Takuma was exceptional - he was informative, kind, considerate, funny & a delight to spend time with. It was great to be able to select some destinations that we really wanted to see, and to also have the surprise of other places that Takuma knew to take us to - the UNESCO gardens are a great example of that, we all loved it the most (my nephew too, because of the cute Pokemon link that Takuma shared with us). It was just so nice to not have to navigate our own way around, and instead have time to really look around and enjoy the sights (instead of staring at Google Maps). Highly recommend!
