This was such a good tour! I genuinely enjoyed going to the different places and getting to explore them by myself. Though my advice is to make sure that you don’t schedule one during a local holiday as it can be extremely crowded.

Waited in front of Osaka Vip lounge at 8:20am on Wednesday, November 4th, 2026 for our bus meet up/pick up. At 8:20am, our tour guide : Nick was awesome, energetic and very funny! He was very entertaining to listen to his stories about the history of Osaka, sharing about his personal experiences, teaching us how to speak basic Japanese and whisk matcha and speaking both in English & mandarin nonstop to us. At 9:30am, we arrived to Katsuoji temple & stayed until 11am. We ate lunch at restaurant:京都わさび 嵐山店 & did matcha whisking and explored Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. I enjoyed exploring Hōkan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda) It was very nice to end the day and go shopping around the stores. We got dropped off to Osaka VIP Villa Namba at 7pm and had a eventful day & ate at the restaurant for dinner that Nick recommended and was so tasty! Thank you so much Nick for hosting us and thank you so much to the driver for driving us safely and timely to our destinations.

yoshi was a terrific host and tour guide. he was very knowledgeable and also very considerate of my injured daughter who had to transport in a wheelchair. we saw so many wonderful sites and he knew so much detail about each of them. he even recommended a terrific lunch at a beautiful venue. It was a wonderful day.

Very fun and informative trip with our guide Natsuki- she was super knowledgeable and helpful. We really enjoyed all three locations, and Natsuki was able to provide lots of interesting context for the temples and pathways. She also suggested a second tour to us which we took and really enjoyed. Strongly recommend this tour! guide: Natsuki is the best!

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.

Ito ay binook ko para sa aking pamilya na may 6 na miyembro. Napakakumportable nito dahil gusto namin ng pribadong transportasyon na may pick-up mula sa aming hotel. Ang itineraryo ay iniayon batay sa gusto naming makita na Nara-Uji-Kyoto lahat sa loob ng 10 oras. Kinailangan kong magdagdag ng 3000 yen para sa Uji + parking/toll fees (hiwalay – umabot ito sa humigit-kumulang 10000 yen) ngunit sulit na sulit ito! Nakipag-ugnayan sa amin ang kumpanya bago ang biyahe upang kumpirmahin ang itineraryo at oras ng pick-up. Maaaring ayusin ang tanghalian o maaari kayong kumain sa alinman sa inyong mga hinto. Hindi mangyayari ang biyaheng ito sa karaniwang bus tour dahil kadalasan ay dalawang lungsod lamang ang kasama, ang Nara at Kyoto (hindi kasama ang Uji). Napakagalang ng driver sa buong biyahe ngunit Mandarin lamang ang kanyang salita. Hindi ito naging problema dahil nakapag-usap kami gamit ang Google Translate. Naghintay ang driver sa kotse habang naglilibot kami at hindi kami minadali. Kailangan lang tandaan na aabutin ng humigit-kumulang 1.5 oras ang pagbalik sa Osaka city mula Kyoto. Ang aming pamilya ay nagkaroon ng napakagandang oras. Salamat!

It was a worthwhile experience. The meeting place at VIP bus liner is accessible from our Sakae hotel. Punctuality means 30 minutes earlier as the bus leaves right on time. If you want to explore food on your own choose without lunch as the booked lunch was served past 2pm . We enjoyed hida beef skewers at Takayama and the grilled Hida beef at Shira kawago, it was soooo good my 11 years old definitely loved it. Shout out to our very accommodating guide Mr. BARA-SAN, thank you for sharing the history, culture and practices of the places we went to.

Napakagaling ng Chinese tour guide na si Xiao Yu. Sinamahan niya kami sa bawat lugar na dapat puntahan at ipinakilala pa niya ang isang tradisyonal na Starbucks na gawa sa kahoy sa Ninenzaka ng Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Salamat kay Xiao Yu sa paggabay sa amin, napakasaya namin ngayon! 😃
