🍎٩(ˊᗜˋ)و Our perfect Apple Guide 🎀🩷 We were worried at first since it was a tour conducted in English and Chinese, making us the only Korean couple in the group, but now that the tour is over, we are so glad we booked it! 🥹 Apple sent us photos via KakaoTalk so we could easily find the bus boarding location, and before arriving at each destination, she provided thorough explanations ranging from history and culture to souvenirs, meal recommendations, meeting places, and times. This made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable. We were truly touched by her thoughtful consideration in providing explanations in Korean throughout the tour. ❤️ We also want to send our sincere gratitude to the driver for providing a safe and comfortable ride! Thanks to his gentle driving skills and kindness, even the travel time was comfortable and happy. It was a day that made us realize that who you travel with is just as important as where you go. Thanks to the kindness and consideration of you both, my husband and I have created precious memories that will stay with us for a long time. 🥰 Apple Guide and our driver, thank you so much! 💕 I would confidently recommend this tour to any Korean travelers who might be hesitant because of the language barrier. If we get the chance next time, we would love to see you again! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 My husband and I were worried as the only Korean guests on an English and Chinese tour, but Apple was an amazing guide! She shared helpful photos, local history, food and souvenir recommendations, and even explained things in Korean. Our driver was also very kind and drove safely. Thanks to both of them, we had a comfortable and wonderful trip! Highly recommend this tour! ❤️

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

ඇපල් සමඟ මෙම සංචාරයේදී අපට ඉතා හොඳ දවසක් තිබුණා. අප පැමිණීමට පෙර එක් එක් ස්ථානය පිළිබඳ තොරතුරු ලබා දීමට ඇපල් ඉතා දක්ෂ විය. අරෂියාමා හි අප විසින්ම ගවේෂණය කරන අතරතුර අපට උපකාර කිරීම සඳහා අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම නැරඹිය යුතු සහ සංචාරය කළ යුතු නිර්දේශ අපට ලබා දෙන ලදී. සියලුම නැවතුම් ස්ථාන ඉතා අලංකාරයි. සංචාරයම ඉතා කාර්යක්ෂම වූ අතර, එක් එක් ස්ථානයේ සියලුම විශේෂතා බැලීමට ප්‍රමාණවත් කාලයක් තිබුණි. අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම නිර්දේශ කරනු ඇත!

Small groups are really much more comfortable without having to wait around for each other. Katsio-ji Temple was a little smaller than expected, but very peaceful, which is perfect for a leisurely stroll. The scenery along the scenic train ride was nice, though the ride itself wasn't very long. Arashiyama was very crowded, but we could just manage our own free time. The driver was quite nice and even helped give directions on the way back. Overall, there were no unpleasant surprises, and the price is quite reasonable.

නිකෝ අපගේ සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා ලෙස ලැබීම අපට සතුටක් වූ අතර, අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා ගැන වචන කිහිපයකින් සියල්ල සාරාංශ කිරීමට හැකි නම්, මිනෝ දිය ඇල්ල හරහා මෙම සංචාරය සඳහා අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා ලෙස එවැනි අපූරු මිනිසෙකු හමුවීමට ලැබීම ගැන අපි ඉතා සතුටු වෙමු! ඇය අපව පන්සලේ ආරම්භයේ සිටම ආරම්භ කළ අතර විවිධ සිද්ධස්ථාන සහ ජයග්‍රාහී දරුමා අපට පෙන්වූවාය. ඇය දරුමා පිටුපස ඇති අර්ථය සහ පන්සල ඉදිකරන ලද වැදගත්කම ද අපට ඉගැන්වූවාය, එය මට සහ මගේ බිරිඳට එහි සිටීමෙන් සැබවින්ම අදහස් කළේ කුමක්ද යන්න පිළිබඳ පරිපූර්ණ දැක්මක් ලබා දුන්නේය. අප විසින්ම මෙය සිදු කළා නම් අපට එකම අත්දැකීමක් නොලැබෙනු ඇතැයි මම නොසිතමි. අපි දිය ඇල්ල වෙත ගොස් ධනය, සංගීතය සහ කලාව පිළිබඳ දේවතාවිය දැකීමට ගිය අතර නිකෝ සමඟ ඇති කරගත් මිත්‍රත්වය සමඟ විශිෂ්ට දිවා ආහාරයකින් අවසන් කිරීමට ලැබුණි. මගේ සමාලෝචනය මුළු හදවතින්ම, මම තරු 4 ක් ලබා දීමට එකම හේතුව නම් අපට කෘමි නිවස තුළට ගොස් එය දැකීමට නොහැකි වීමයි, එයද විනෝදජනක වනු ඇත, එසේ නොමැතිනම් එය පරිපූර්ණ දවසක් විය!

මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා විසින් ස්ථාන සහ පූර්වාරක්ෂාවන් පිළිබඳව ඉතා සවිස්තරාත්මකව බෙදා ගන්නා ලදී. මෙම දින සංචාරය මිලදී ගැනීම ගැන මම ඉතා සතුටු වූ අතර, ප්‍රීතිමත් දවසක් ගත කළෙමි. ස්ථාන අතර ගමන් කිරීමට ගත වූ කාලය ද ඉතා නිවැරදි විය. අවසානයේදී, මාර්ගෝපදේශක ටකහාෂි මහතා විසින් බෙදාගත් ස්ථාන පිළිබඳ උපදෙස් ද ඉතා ප්‍රයෝජනවත් විය.

We had a wonderful time seeing the Katsuoji Temple, Uji, and Fushimi Inari. Our guide, Zoey, was very nice and cheerful; describing the history and importance of the places we went to. She also provided recommendations on places to eat in Uji, and helped us with any questions we have. I highly recommend this tour and Zoey as our tour guide! The day spent was unforgettable and worthwhile.

I signed up for a small group tour of 1 to 9 people, but ended up being the only person who registered. I originally thought the tour would be canceled, but unexpectedly, the travel agency ran the tour anyway even at a loss. In the end, it was directly upgraded to a luxury private car tour! The driver was also great and provided excellent service. The whole day's itinerary felt simply amazing. I strongly recommend this tour.

wonderful day trip, if you have walked too much but still have so much to see book this. we were able to see 3 very different locations, some which would be difficult to access on our own and all at a very easy pace. The guide was lovely, welcoming and shared perfect historical knowledge throughout.
