Loved Nara!
The Kyoto part of our day was slightly more chaotic than the afternoon in Nara. Overall, a great tour that gets you to the sites you don’t want to miss! Our afternoon guide was very kind, helpful and organized.

Kyoto 3 highlights tour by bus
Lots of walking and the golden temple has a one way system that includes a climb over uneven rocky steps. Nijo Castle was on the flat as was the imperial Palace. There was no use of the microphone system that is wirelessly transmitted to group participant headphones.

This is a great tour to hit the major sites that are out of the Gion area.
This is a great tour to hit the major sites that are out of the Gion area. The guide was very friendly and spoke English well. Nice bus. Any tour like this requires a lot of fast walking, but this wasn't too bad.

Yoshi was a very kind and...
Yoshi was a very kind and thoughtful guide, starting with his recommendation to amend our tour to mostly indoors due to inclement weather. It was an excellent suggestion given the heavy rain on our tour day. He also brought little handmade gifts from his family members for us. We felt welcome and appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and spoke excellent English. We thoroughly enjoyed or amended tour, though we cannot speak to how the original itinerary would have been. Definitely recommend Yoshi as a guide.

A great tour to cover all the must-see places in one day. Our guide K.C. is very friendly and humorous. I love his afternoon tour.

Great day!
This was a great way to see key points of interests. Our tour guide was informative and accommodating to our group ages 17-70. Great experience for the entire family. Lots of walking, so wear good shoes and sun protection.

Informative and efficient half day Kyoto tour
Fun and informative tour viewing several popular Kyoto highlights. It was nice to be transported on an air condition bus, but the size of the group made it a bit harder to hear at times in the more crowded areas. Our guide was very organized, funny, and engaging.

Great day in Kyoto!
Tammy was a fantastic guide. She shared a lot about history, and also shared how she and her family live today. We enjoyed all of the sites.
