Guest User2026-03-17
A big thumbs up to Uncle Big Head on WeChat on February 24th! He provided clear information, location, and photos in advance, and was very enthusiastic and meticulous in replying to questions and offering helpful reminders. His driving was very smooth and safe, and the itinerary and arrangement of the three attractions were well-planned. His descriptions of the attractions and restaurants were concise. All three attractions are traditional and representative, rich in local culture and history. Uncle Big Head deserves high praise for his itinerary planning.
Reviews: [Cherry Blossom Season] One-Day Tour of Ancient Temples in Kyoto, Japan + Nara Park with Adorable Deer + Fushimi Inari Shrine
Guest User2026-04-26
I've been to Kyoto a few times, but this time I went with my girlfriend. However, traveling by subway was more tiring than I expected, so there were many places I missed. But this time, I decided to just go on a bus tour and signed up. We visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple (a place always worth visiting), Fujii Inari Shrine (I passed by right in front of it last time because it was too crowded), and Nara Park (the deer? They were just okay). Our guide this time was Mr. Ku Mun-gil, and it was great to learn unexpected facts and history. He also recommended restaurants and convenience store drinks, which we are currently enjoying immensely. I highly recommend the bus tour; it was a truly comfortable trip.

Reviews: Kyoto + Nara Encounter Cute Deer Classic Panoramic one-day tour[Upgradeable to 9-person Small Group Hotel Pickup]
Guest User2026-04-26
I was worried because I was going on a solo tour. However, Guide Oh Seok-bong shared so many interesting and diverse stories about Japan that I wasn't bored at all during the bus ride. It was also great that whenever we mentioned what kind of food we wanted to eat, he recommended restaurants he knew and even helped with reservations. I would love to go again with my family next time.

Overall, the experience was relaxed and enjoyable.
