What are people saying about Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Brandie_E, Feb 2026

All day tour, excellent, highly enjoyed.

The 1 day tour is a combination of the morning tour and afternoon tour. We had the same guide, KC, for both halves. We had an excellent time, he was very knowledgeable and the sites visited were all amazing. Nijo castle was excellent, as was fushimi inari shrine.

Curtis_M, Nov 2025

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.

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.

Wonderful sights

The sights were outstanding! Don’t miss either of these! It was nice to have assistance with the transportation and navigation. We enjoyed hearing some history but could have been more. Andrea from Colombia was our guide. She was very nice with a moderate accent so little difficult to understand. There was some confusion on our tour and debate between the guide and guests in the beginning on the itinerary. I guess they also combine our 3 hr tour with full day tours. The other guests did not sound like they knew the itinerary. The meeting place was a little difficult as our taxi driver did not take us to the west exit and we didn’t know there was a central exit. Overall good tour just some awkward moments

Darrell_P, Nov 2024
