The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

Bol to naozaj úžasný zážitok, musím vrelo odporučiť nášho svedomitého sprievodcu Nicka. Bol priateľský, mal so sebou knihu s obrázkami a jeho vtipný a živý výklad obohatil celú cestu! Hrad Himeji v auguste bol naozaj len horúci, ale Nick nám premyslene pripravil slané cukríky, aby sme predišli úpalu. Počas celej prehliadky nám ukázal očarujúcu krásu hradu Himeji a naučili sme sa veľa nových vecí! Na každom mieste nám nezabudol podrobne porozprávať o miestnych špecifikách a odporučiť miestne špeciality. Za jediný deň som získal hlbšie pochopenie a dlhšie trvajúce predstavy o Osake a Kóbe! Teším sa na ďalšiu príležitosť pripojiť sa k takejto skvelej skupine a všetci by ste mali Nicka veľmi podporovať ^^

This Kumano Kodo day trip was a perfect experience, and I must highly recommend our guide, Yan! The guide is Chinese, so there was absolutely no language barrier throughout the entire trip. They served as both driver and guide, meticulously arranging everything, making the trip incredibly hassle-free. Before arriving at each attraction, the guide would provide detailed explanations of its history and key highlights. They thoughtfully advised us on how to best experience each site, what specific sights to focus on, and clearly communicated the duration of free time and the meeting time for our return. This meant we didn't have to worry about planning ourselves, and the pace of the trip was just right. The entire itinerary, from the service area, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Otorii, and collecting stamps at Oyu no Hara, to Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji Temple, Hiro Shrine, Daimonzaka, and Hayatama Taisha, concluding with a visit to the Totsukawa Onsen footbath, featured detailed and easy-to-understand explanations at every stop. The guide eloquently shared the cultural stories behind the Kumano Sanzan, allowing us to grasp the profound heritage behind these World Heritage sites, even without prior research. The guide's service attitude was gentle and attentive, and their driving was smooth and safe. They never took detours or rushed the itinerary. There was no pressure throughout the trip, allowing ample time for photos, leisurely strolls, and worship. At the end, there was even plenty of time to soak our feet in the footbath to relieve travel fatigue. I was initially concerned about the inconveniences of traveling alone in a foreign country, but thankfully, this Chinese-speaking guide provided meticulous care throughout the journey. The itinerary was both enriching and relaxed, allowing for a deep appreciation of the sacred Kumano landscape. The overall value for money was excellent. For anyone planning a day trip to Kumano, I strongly recommend Guide Yan!

This is a great trip for the last few days of a vacation, perfect for winding down, haha. It's very beautiful and the itinerary is relaxed. The flower corridor is wonderful and cool, and the waffles and grapes are delicious. The view was excellent on the day we went. The guide is a very diligent and responsible person, and I enjoyed the little stories he shared. Since I was traveling alone, the guide, Hua Hua, also helped me take photos, which I really appreciated. Overall, I think it was a fantastic trip.

This is the perefect itinerary for us because it starts at 11 am so we didn't have to wake up super ealry. It also allows us to explore the locations on our own with enough time without feeling rushed. Cave was an excellent guide! We were the only English-speaking tourist in the group but he made sure that we know everything that we needed, even if he had to repeat all that he said from Mandarin to English.

Before the activity, I suddenly realized I had left my phone in the taxi. The driver quickly asked a senior tour guide near the meeting point to help communicate and resolve the issue, and I successfully got my lost phone back. The one-day tour experience was great; it was arranged with a small van, so there weren't many people, and we gathered quickly. There was ample time at each attraction to explore and take photos.

We love the tour so much and had a very excited experience in this trip. Just that the time for each stops is too short, but overall still acceptable. Our guide, Yuki is very talented with multilingual in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, friendly to answer all our questions patiently. We really enjoyed for this day trip.

The itinerary was relaxing, and our guide, Gary, was extremely professional, attentive, and responsible. His explanations were lively and engaging, the schedule was well-organized, and he took excellent care of everyone in the group, making the entire trip even more perfect. Thank you very much; he deserves a five-star recommendation!

Nádherná prehliadka, užili sme si prechádzku po Ikede, kde sa nachádza múzeum Cup Noodle. Mesto Arima je krásne, na dlhú prechádzku si určite obujte tenisky. Užili sme si všetky aktivity, vďaka nášmu sprievodcovi Junyoungovi, ktorý pre skupinu urobil úžasné fotografie.
