Passeios por Kokedera Temple (Saihōji)

Ben was our tour guide, friendly, kind, and a very thoughtful guide. He shared many tips and a lot of history about the location with us. The trip included a train ride, where you could see the river and beautiful scenery. Then, there was a 2-hour boat rafting experience, enjoying various levels of water rides; please note that you might get wet. Lastly, there were 2 hours for self-exploration of bamboo groves, shrines, shop lots, etc.

I would like to thank our guide, Rex, for this amazing experience. We have enjoyed this very much. He has been very considerate, thoughtful, and helpful. We recommend this to everyone. Rex is the ultimate guide. If you need information, he helps you and sends you all the right links. We definitely enjoyed it very much. Thank you Rex! We would also like to thank our bus driver who did an amazing job of bringing us everywhere safely! Thank you!

Jackson is a very caring and helpful tour guide. I have joined tours in other countries before, but this is the first guide who shared the pickup location and pickup time for every stop through WhatsApp/LINE with a map. It was very convenient and easy to follow. He is also very friendly and always offers to help take photos. I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide is very attentive and responsible. I have participated in tours in other countries, but this is the first time I have encountered a tour guide who shares the pickup location and time for each stop via WhatsApp/LINE, along with a map, making it very easy for everyone to find the meeting point. It's very convenient. He is also very enthusiastic and proactively helps group members take photos, making the entire trip more enjoyable.

It was a wonderful day... Even though I went alone, I didn’t feel lonely—everyone worked together as a great team, and the guide was helpful with everything, from tourist attractions and food to taking photos. The places were absolutely beautiful!! I’ll definitely go again with friends, my partner, and family next time.

Ahead of my trip to Osaka, I thought it would be good to experience the beauty of traditional Japan and take a tour, even though it's summer. So, I diligently searched for tours a month in advance. After watching vlogs and reading tour reviews, I found this particular tour based on the opinion that 'about three places a day seems appropriate.' Our guide was Mr. Oh Seok-bong, and I felt a sense of trust when he introduced himself in various languages after we boarded the bus. He precisely pointed out the culture of Japan and the key viewing points of the attractions, allowing us to see the places we wanted to visit with an efficient itinerary! Furthermore, his recommendations for good restaurants and entertaining stories throughout the tour made it a satisfying experience. If I get the chance to take another tour, I'd love to have Mr. Oh Seok-bong as my guide again!!! 😆 Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!!!

It was such an honor and a great experience. Definitely worth the money. We had fun as Ai was such an excellent guide. She provided nuances between Maiko and Geiko, correcting the preconceived notions given by the movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, and being an excellent interpreter. Umemai-san, the maiko that performed for us, was very amazing. For someone so young to be able to perform for us with great confidence and answer all of our questions, she was just superb. Great job for GuideMe Japan Team for arranging this tour!

This is a must do when in Kyoto and have little time. My 70 year old mon and I joined tour. Majo and Tim were just fantastic! We saw 3 major, incredible Kyoto sites, received macha ice cream, tasted saki, and took several photos. My mom did the hike to Iwatayama mountain, bring good shoes, water. Luckily we had the best weather. Wouldn’t recommend in high, hot temperatures for children and elderly.

I had a lot of fun on this tour, and I feel like for the price I paid, I got to see many of Japan's must-see attractions. The tour guide, whose name I've forgotten 🥲, was really funny and engaging. He offered to take photos for each group and could speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. I'm also glad I was able to upgrade to include lunch, even though I didn't originally book it through Klook. I feel that if I hadn't had food reserved beforehand, I would have spent less time in one of the areas. Overall, I would definitely do this tour again in the future.
