Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-18
A trip with my mother and sons! It was a wonderful trip. Guide Kim Nam-gil was so considerate of my mother by giving her the front seat, and we had a wonderful trip without any motion sickness. It was wonderful to see him take care of each and every traveler. I look forward to sharing his wonderful journey with many more people. ^^

Traveling alone, I booked a day trip to Kyoto departing from Osaka. 😆 Our guide, ViVi, was very friendly and attentive, providing excellent explanations in both Chinese and English. There was plenty of time for sightseeing, making it a very fulfilling day. I have wonderful memories of Kyoto. 😊 The matcha ice cream 🍦 was so delicious! 🤤

Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Guest User2026-02-22
The day trip was a great experience; the itinerary was well-planned and the pace was relaxed and not rushed. We met at the agreed-upon location, and the entire journey was quiet and peaceful. Most importantly, no one kept asking for a review after the trip, which was excellent. It would have been even better if the driver had provided some commentary along the way.

Reviews: Kyoto + Nara Encounter Cute Deer Classic Panoramic one-day tour[Upgradeable to 9-person Small Group Hotel Pickup]
Guest User2026-02-19
During my second trip to Osaka, I booked a Kyoto bus tour that I had really wanted to go on and went! As with most overseas trips, I thought I would have a hard time finding the bus, but Guide Chuhong personally responded to all my inquiries in Korean via KakaoTalk, including the time and location. Even when I got separated from the group during the tour due to independent travel, she sent me the meeting time and location, and even a link every time I moved. She was so kind. I could only upload 9 photos, but I couldn't upload them all... I really recommend Guide Chuhong!!!! This holiday trip was so much fun. Thank you.
