Passeios por Daimaru Kyoto

Tuvimos un gran recorrido al atardecer con nuestro guía, Logan, quien nos brindó mucha información sobre el distrito de Gion y la historia y los acontecimientos de la vida de una geisha. Ninguna pregunta quedó sin respuesta. Lo disfrutamos muchísimo, solo deseamos que hubiera hecho más calor.

The morning itinerary in Ine was quite packed. The cafes were overflowing with people, so there was no way to leisurely enjoy the food and scenery. Feeding the seagulls from the boat was indeed very interesting. I accidentally got hit by "golden rain" and even got bitten, but the feeling of being treated like a bird's nest by the seagulls was quite peculiar, almost like being close to nature. The afternoon at Amanohashidate was about 2 hours. Following the tour guide, after taking the cable car, there was only about an hour left. The scenery on the mountain was magnificent, and there were quite a few facilities to enjoy. It happened to be the Emperor's birthday (or yesterday), so many shops were closed, and we couldn't find a place to eat (the remaining few were packed with people). However, there were still a few small vendors where we could buy snacks. The scenery at Akechi Temple was beautiful, and the paper umbrella ema were also very pretty; I really wanted to take them home. The tour guide was kind and very enthusiastic, constantly emphasizing the characteristics of the attractions. When I accidentally broke the handle of a cabinet on the bus, he kindly said it was okay, which made me feel a bit embarrassed. The itinerary was great, and I would consider it again in the future. I recommend it to others.

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 guide was very informative and spoke good English. The timing of the walk was fantastic, being early morning, so there were fewer crowds. We got really good pictures from those places. It was to the point. The transport was via metro and train, so it was very nice, but you need to be ready for a lot of walking. That was not an issue with us. I highly recommend this kind of tour.

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!

Our tour guide, Hua Hua, is the best a group could ask for. He's very funny and keeps our group lively. He constantly updates us on what to expect and the places to visit around Arashiyama. He's also a good singer! Thank you for hosting us, Hua Hua!

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.

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.
