    Exciting Overnight Trip to Kyoto

    Helena_C, Oct 2025
    We were arriving by cruise ship for an overnight stay in Osaka. We had visited Osaka by cruise ship before and wanted to visit Kyoto and Nara. Due to mobility issues we wanted a private guide and to minimize long walks from busses. We found this tour on Viator to be the closest match to our requests. We originally booked a single day but given the long list of desired sites decided we needed two days. Diego recommended an overnight stay in Kyoto to maximize our touring time and helped us get a hotel room at a cheap rate. The main sites are spread out across the city and it takes quite a while to travel. We used a combination of train and taxis to get around. The only site we missed was the Arashiyama/Bamboo Forest but we were ok with that due to the time it would take to include it and the large crowds that would certainly be there. Plus we saw the small bamboo forest at Kōdaiji Temple. Overall summary: Day 1: Redeemed Rail Pass Voucher Fushimi Inari Shrine Nishki Market (lunch) Yasui Kompiragū Shrine Kiyomizu-dera Temple Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka Yasaka Pagoda Kōdaiji Temple Pontocho Alley (Dinner) Day 2: Nijo Castle Kinkako-ji Temple Conveyer belt Restaurant (lunch) Tōdai-ji Temple (Nara) Overall, a great experience!

    Treated like a Queen

    Diego was extremely careful about our needs, he was very open to hear what we wanted to visit and to adjust the itinerary based on our preferences. I totally recommend Diego for future trips and take the opportunity to thank him again for the wonderful time we had together with him and my son!
