The itinerary was well-planned, tour guide Li Songlan's explanations were excellent, and the weather cleared up at the end, making it a truly unforgettable day!

Reviews: Kyoto Tango Sea Train + Amanohashidate + Ine Boat Houses 1-day tour, including train fare and optional boat ride
Guest User2026-02-23
The arrangement of the attractions was quite compact and reasonable. The only regret was that the tour guide was not very professional and proactive, and there was basically no professional explanation.

Reviews: Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka + Kinkaku-ji + Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto millennium day tour
Guest User2025-11-23
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 in a Day: The Ultimate Top 4 Highlights Tour (From Osaka/Kyoto)
Guest User2026-02-04
I felt this was a truly heartwarming trip to Kyoto! From the magnificent golden splendor of Kinkaku-ji to the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, every stop was breathtaking and thought-provoking. The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.

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.

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.
