Reviews: Kyoto Kifune Shrine, Arashiyama, and Sanzen-in Temples: A 9-person Small Group Tour to Enjoy the Cool Summer and Autumn Leaves
Guest User2025-10-19
We signed up the afternoon of the previous day. The tour fee was over 300 yuan for a small group of nine people, which I found to be a great value. The itinerary was well-paced and not rushed.
Our driver and guide, Nick Lee, was very approachable and attentive. The car was clean and odorless. Disposing of trash in Japan is a challenge, so we had trash bags on board. It rained that day, so we had transparent umbrellas, which made for beautiful photos. The guides were provided on board, in both Mandarin and English, catering to the needs of the group. At each attraction, Nick would send us a private message with the location and time.
Sanzen-in Temple was a pleasant surprise during the trip. It was peaceful and relaxing, and I loved it. The water divination at Kifune Shrine was very interesting, and I got a very auspicious fortune. Overall, I was very satisfied.★

Guest User2025-04-23
Had a wonderful trip with Amy today! She was more than a guide she not only shared interesting stories and profound travel tips, she also recommended great food and even served as our private photographer on the bus. Her energy and professionalism made the experience even more special. I highly recommend my friends to come and play with her trip too!★

Reviews: A day trip to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Arashiyama, Japan.
Guest User2025-09-25
The day trip to Kyoto and Nara was a fantastic experience. The itinerary was well-organized, covering must-see attractions like Arashiyama, the train, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the bamboo grove. We allowed ample time to admire the scenery and take photos at each stop without feeling rushed. The guide was very professional and knowledgeable, providing clear explanations. His enthusiasm was a real plus for the trip.★

Reviews: Spirited Away Anime Tour: Osaka Katsuo-ji Temple, Atago Nenbutsu-ji Temple, and Arashiyama Hiking Day Tour
Guest User2025-08-23
Today, our driver, "Happy Old Zhang," took us to Katsuo-ji Temple and Arashiyama. The itinerary was perfectly planned! Katsuo-ji Temple was filled with Daruma dolls for prayer, creating a tranquil and positive atmosphere. Arashiyama's bamboo forest and Togetsukyo Bridge were beautiful. The whole day was fulfilling and enjoyable. Thank you, Old Zhang, for making this trip so smooth! 😊★
