Fantastic Experience
Reviewed by: Parker, 2019/04/09This was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. I was able to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto quickly and easily and thoroughly enjoyed the logistics of the entire tour. Everything was set up and led very well making this trip unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing as much of Kyoto as possible in one day. The only constructive comment was the AVANTI desk was relatively difficult to find. It would be great to include more detailed directions from Kyoto station to the desk. Thank you Veltra and thank you AVANTI!

Kyoto day trip
Reviewed by: Cin, 2019/03/24Tourguide was funny. Places were interesting. Fast paced enough so it wasnt boring. Right amount to visit and then free afternoon time was perfect to relax and see a few things and go shopping after.

Perfect day trip from Tokyo on Bullet Train!
Reviewed by: Katy, 2018/07/02Loved the fact Bullet Train tickets were included, and great into to Kyoto with AM Bus Tour. Really liked getting information on sites, our guide was very nice - a bit soft spoken so wasn't able to hear everything.
In PM we did Fushimi Inari-taisha (shrine with orange gates), super easy to get to and really enjoyed climb up mountain.
FYI Tour Office to check in was a bit hard to find

Beautiful and Historic Kyoto
Reviewed by: Laura M., 2016/04/22This is a fantastic tour for people who are staying in Tokyo but want to see Kyoto. Because of scheduling, we were unable to stay outside of Tokyo but this allowed us to travel to Kyoto and experience its beauty. The bullet train tickets arrived at our hotel with instructions on how to get from Tokyo to Kyoto. We had no problems at all and the bullet train was a great experience in itself. Once we got to Kyoto, we simply followed the map to our meet-up. The morning tour was fabulous and we were able to see many sights such as Kinkaku-ji and Nijo Castle with a guided tour. Our tour guide was fabulous and helped us understand more about the culture in Kyoto. After the tour, lunch and the afternoon were free. We spent the evening at Kiyomizu-dera but there were so many options to explore with a free afternoon that one could do almost anything in Kyoto before needing to return to the train station. We had no problem getting back to Tokyo at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend making the time in your schedule for this tour if you are staying in Tokyo. It was an amazing experience.

Really easy, enjoyable tour
Reviewed by: Erin, 2016/03/16The tour was great and really easy for two people with school-level Japanese skills. We caught the shinkansen from Tokyo without any problems and found the tour desk easily in Kyoto.
Our tour guide was lovely, spoke good English and had a good sense of humour.
We had picked this tour specifically so we could do our own thing and visit other specific temples/shrines in the afternoon, so finishing back at Kyoto station around lunchtime made this achievable.

Good Value
Reviewed by: From Las Vegas, 2015/05/01We had transportation on the Bullet Train Nozomi from Tokyo so the tour was an excellent value. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Also Veltra's explanation of the tour was spot on.

Wonderfull Kyoto
Reviewed by: Perianayagam T, 2013/08/25Wonderful trip..I started from Tokyo. First-half tour guided me a lot about Kyoto, so that when am alone in 2nd half I was able to cover rest by myself. Pls include some standard city-maps /attractions list/ brouchers for the second half (Yes, I got that from the guide ..thanks for super nice guide...but I'm suggesting to include this as part of package..).
I think the overall price is cheaper than even the to-and-fro ticket charges in shinkashen. A perfect tour that fit my budget and plan very well. Thank you.
Overall a memorable trip. Would like to go more of such trips from Veltra
