Lovely tour
Lovely tour of the temples and gardens in the area of the bamboo forest. Akiro was an informative and friendly guide. There were only 2 couples in our group so he was able to customize the pace for us. Great day. Highly recommend.
Vegetarian meal at the end was fantastic.
Physical notes: I registered in 14000+ steps on this tour. Some of it was up and down hillsides or on rock paths. We sat on the floor in traditional Japanese style although there were short chairs available for those who needed them.

One of our favourite...
One of our favourite tours during our trip! Atchan did a grest job despite getting delayed by people in the group not returning from free time in a timely fashion. Loads of open air to be enjoyed in the deer park, the deer are the friendliest I have ever seen! We were also pleasantly supprised by the quality of the food served. There was also a discount coupon for matcha ice cream provided at the restaurant. The 16th and 17th generation tea masters at Uji were excellent performers, very good fun!

This was such a great...
This was such a great tour and I highly recommend it. What made it special was Hino our English speaking tour guide. She was so sweet, friendly, and helped take pictures of the entire group both individually and with our spouse in instagrammable spots. The tour was efficient and Hino provided information on history and culture throughout the day. Thank you Hino for making this tour such a great experience!

Perfect Kyoto tour
We had a wonderful Kyoto tour with Malik covering the top sights. Malik helped us customize the tour to our needs as we had elderly folks with us and was very flexible in accommodating our impromptu requests. He accompanied us to each spot and shared its history with us - enabling us to have a truly wonderful time.

Magical tour in Magical Kyoto!
Our tour in Kyoto was amazing! Kyoto is a magical city especially during Sakura blooming! Our guide Takuma managed to show us Kyoto’s most iconic sights as well as the city’s hidden gem and treasures. Takuma was super knowledgeable and passionate about Japan’s culture and history, he was also very friendly and flexible with great command of English language. Takuma organized everything and made our tour relaxing and enjoyable. It was an amazing day in Kyoto! We highly recommend this tour, our guide Takuma and Japan Wonder travel.

Gekkeikan distillery tour in Kyoto
The Sake Tasting & food pairing at Gekkeikan distillery was an extremely well laid out experience with a Fantastic & Knowledgeable guide. We had a group of 12 people from all over. Guide met us outside early to ensure all customers were present. The history of the distillery was easy to understand & learn about. The sampling was tailored so that the various taste buds could be accommodated & rated appropriately. Was surprised to learn theat they have a distillery in California & that 3 other distilleries have facilities in my home state of Georgia USA.

Fantastic experience in Kyoto!
Excellent tailor-made tour. With consultation direct with our guide we’d chosen three places from his list of recommendations. All were delightful. With his excellent knowledge of history, Japanese customs, religion and culture he brought the Imperial Palace, Nijyo-Jyo Castle and Fushimi Inari Shrine to life for us. He also did a great job of escorting us between these sites using the public transport system. A memorable day in Kyoto - thank-you Kazu!

Highlights of Kyoto
Hama was a very knowledgeable and good tour guide being clear with times and explaining sites we were going to see. The description on Viator is correct. You will see 4 sites. It was busy in April so expect crowds and wait times. Lunch was a Japanese buffet with a wider variety of food to try. It will be a long day with lots of walking but you will see the main highlights.

See a lot in one day going to Nara, Uji and Fushimi inari!
This one day tour included a trip to Nara, Oji, and the Fushimi in Ari shrine all in one! Hugo did a great job explaining the key sites! He made sure that we were comfortable and taken care of since we had trouble keeping up with the group! Great job, Hugo!

Wonderful experience!
This was a well organized tour with a knowledgeable and fun tour guide, Cruise, who spoke English and Chinese. Everyone in the tour was connected by either WhatsApp or Line, where Cruise provided information on each place we visited - links to places to see and eat in the area, and a map of the bus pick-up place. Most memorable about this trip: boat ride where you can feed seagulls and eagles and Amanohashidate. The chairlift takes you to the top to appreciate a panoramic view of the beautiful sandbar and pine forest. I just wished we were there more than the two hours time. Great tour!

Hands down best food tour we’ve gone on!
Spectacular food tour. Best we’ve had and we take them quite often in new cities we visit. Leandra was great: personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic (but not over the top) and as an expat her English was flawless. High quality, diverse food with nice portions. Drinks, including non-alcohol options (including beer) were included. We had a bonus: a couple with us (only 5 on the tour) got engaged hours before our tour! Highly recommend

Great experience
I enjoyed the tour very much. It was a hot hot day but most of the walking thru the market was cool and easy. The tastings were interesting and Takuma did a Great job explaining to me a lot of Japanese culture and language. The three hours was more than enough. I was the only one on this tour so Takuma took his time, was very kinda and did a really good job.
