Passeios por Shinsaibashi

별 계획없이 오사카 왔다가, 투어 신청해서 다녀왔는데 신청 하길 잘한것 같습니다. 가성비 짱! Liu 가이드님이 친절하고 자세하게 인솔해주셨습니다.원래는 한국어 가이드가 없는 일정이었는데, 가이드님이 제가 한국인인 것을 확인하시고는 영어/중국어/한국어 모두 구사하시면서 안내해주셨습니다. 사진도 잘 찍어주시고, 좋은 카페도 추천해주셨습니다. 배려심 깊은 liu님 추천드립니다! 😁

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.

The day before departure, we checked and saw that the weather would be good, so we signed up for the Sea of Kyoto day trip... On the day of the trip, we received an email notification with the tour guide's contact information and meeting instructions, which was very reassuring. Upon arriving at the meeting point on the day of departure, our guide, Sean Shen, diligently provided explanations on the bus (in Korean + Chinese). After getting off the bus, he enthusiastically helped us take photos and introduced the scenic spots. Coupled with the good weather, the outing was very enjoyable. On the way back, the guide also shared recommendations for local Osaka cuisine. We felt that with the great weather and a responsible guide, it was a wonderful trip!

worth the visit. i wish we could have more time, nonetheless we were able to capture good memories and nice pictures. these places are far from each other and not very accessible for public transport.

Visit the MIHO Museum, which houses ancient artworks. You'll need to pay the entrance fee upon arrival. Then, take a long bus ride to see Lake Biwa and the Torii gate in the water. End the trip with an old temple, where the highlight is the mirror reflecting the trees. Throughout the trip, I was the only one who spoke English; everyone else spoke Chinese. The guide provided excellent care and explanations in both languages. It was a relaxing trip, and I got to see new places, but I would recommend spending more time exploring the Shiga area.

The tour was well organized. Our tour guide, Yang, was very informative, accommodating, and helpful. Not to forget, also good-looking and fashionable. This tour is highly recommended.

I highly recommend this tour! Arashiyama, Sagano, the Bamboo Grove, and Arashiyama Park offer beautiful scenery, and the cherry blossoms 🌸 were in full bloom 😃! It was a weekend, so there were quite a few people. There were also rickshaw services nearby, and you could go boating on the lake, plus there was a small foot bath. Luckily, we had booked the Sagano Romantic Train tickets. Our guide, Ms. Minako, thoughtfully informed us that the even-numbered seats offer better views and also considered whether our seats would be facing uphill or downhill. She even arranged for us to swap seats on the return journey in advance, ensuring everyone had a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Furthermore, she provided us with relevant maps and highlighted key sights to see, and she accompanied the group to introduce the attractions (as I later joined other Klook Japan day tours where some guides would only stay on the tour bus and not enter the attractions to explain them). I felt her service was attentive and professional, and she often proactively offered to take photos for me (as I was traveling solo this time). This tour departs from Osaka and Kyoto, and it also includes Sanzen-in Temple (not many tours go there, but it's very peaceful for tea tasting). The schedule felt quite ample.

The operator contacted us a day before, and the process was very organized. The only problem was that we did not realize the driver could only speak in Mandarin. I did not notice that when I was booking the tour, so that is something to be aware of. Other than that, it was a good experience.
