Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Bucklist Worthy.

Reviewed by: Demmi

Due to limited time We booked this tour the day before. Due to the Booking time already closed on the website we had to co-ordinate our booking through VELTRA facebook messenger. The team were very fast to rely & with great communication we were able to secure 3 seats on the Tour.
The meeting location across from Kyoto Station was very easy to find & we waited for our Tour Guide. Jorge Introduced himself & lead us onto the bus for a very full day of sight seeing.
At Each Cultural sight we were given a full educational history & cultural commentary by Jorge & then our own time to explore, if time permitted a little shopping. My daughters & I always seemed to be rushing for the bus as so much to see & do at each location. Even though Jorge is not a native from Japan his knowledge & insight is fantastic. We found Jorge to be funny, calm & professional.
Our Tour was on Saturday & a public holiday in Japan, so some locations such
as the Bamboo Forrest & 1001 Tori gates were busy. Due to the crowds & a few mishaps during the day, & through no fault of our Tour guides, we ran behind
time. WE made our last stop The Golden Pavilion 10 mins before closing & as the sun was going down. Luckily I was able to get a few photos & walk around the Temple before the gates were closed. Our supplied lunch at the Bamboo Forest location was very unique & tasty.
I Recommend NOT DOING the TOUR on the weekend or Public Holiday if
possible. I would use Veltra Tours again & 100% highly recommend Jorge as a Tour Guide. Its a very full busy day & was very glad to be able to rest on the bus between locations.

It felt a bit hectic, taking almost a whole day, but it was great to have bus transportation since moving around individually would have been difficult. The guide's attentiveness was excellent both in the first half and the second half. The price also seemed reasonable. If I have the chance, I would like to use this service again.

I thought it was mentioned that the bus had mobile charging available?

Even amidst the massive crowds of the autumn foliage season, 紅葉シーズンの大混雑の中でも

Reviewed by: まきこ

I participated in the autumn foliage season in mid-November. It was incredibly crowded everywhere. I thought I would only be able to visit one place if I went on my own. I'm glad I joined this tour, which allowed us to comfortably and efficiently visit the main attractions by bus. The tour guide also provided various explanations during the journey, which was educational.
Only the visit to Fushimi Inari involved taking a train from Kyoto Station. The tour guide and one family panicked when boarding the train. When traveling in a group using public transportation, let's remember to stay calm.

11月半ばの紅葉シーズンに参加しました。とにかくどこも大混雑。自力で行ったら一箇所しか回れないだろうなと思いました。バスで快適に、効率よく目玉スポットを回れるこのツアーに参加してよかったです。添乗員さんも移動中に色々と説明をしてくれたので勉強になりました。
伏見稲荷だけ京都駅から電車移動だった。添乗員さんと一家族が電車に乗る際に大パニックしてました。集団行動で公共交通機関に乗るときは落ち着いて行動しましょう

I think this tour is not suitable for those who want to take their time sightseeing, as the time allocated after arriving at the tourist spots is short. After getting off the bus, the guide took us to the recommended sightseeing locations, but the walking pace was fast, making it quite physically challenging for someone in their 50s like me. However, thanks to this, I was able to visit four sightseeing spots. Thank you very much.

　観光地に着いてからの時間設定が短い為、ゆっくり観光したい方には不向きだと思います。

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour to Kinkakuji, Gingakuji, & Kiyomizudera

Great Tour to see three of the most popular sights.

Reviewed by: David Seaton

Finding the starting point was easy as it was very easy to see at the train station. It was nice that there were translations available as one of us spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. Despite rainy weather the tour was great. The tour obviously runs on a schedule so lingering to meditate will not work. There was enough time to follow the trails and get a number of photos but be aware that there will be crowds as these are very popular tourist places. This is an easy way to see the temples and to avoid numerous train and subway changes.

This was such an amazing trip! The tour group met right outside the train station in Kyoto and were very easy to find. It was well organized - we were split up into groups and had a designated bus and host throughout the day. Our tour guide, George, was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and with great sense of humor! The sights that they had scheduled for us to see where nothing short of incredible. George made sure we made it on time to every destination and I'm glad because we saw it all! The scenery along with our guide made us appreciate the temples even more which gave us a deeper understanding of the city and culture beyond the beauty of it all! This was definitely a must do!!

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Great experience seeing top sights in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: MikeT

My wife and I wanted to see several top sights in Kyoto in one day, but without the feeling of “it is 10.30, here is the temple, you have 2 minutes to take a couple of pictures then off we go.” Veltra’s full-day Kyoto highlights tour provided more than adequate time to enter each site and absorb its character. We greatly benefitted from an excellent and good-humored tour leader who provided concise but insightful explanations of the site being visited and its historical context. We especially enjoyed Kiyomizudera, where one has the chance to drink from one of three “streams of wisdom” coming from the sacred spring; the Fushimi Inari shrine, with its amazing “tunnel” of ochre torii; and Kinkakuji as the setting sun reflected off its gold exterior. Signing up for the tour was easy; finding the meeting point was easy; and following along with the narrations was easy (though some pre-recorded narrations on the bus were garbled — the guide just jumped in to fill the gap). Taking the optional upgrade to have lunch provided was a fun and cost-effective move. We would not hesitate to tour again with Veltra — a well-run outfit providing great value for money.

Arashiyama 嵐山

Reviewed by: 島内地やー

We participated as a family. Since there are five of us, we couldn't take a taxi, and while purchasing tickets, our family tends to act independently, but we were really able to enjoy our sightseeing in Kyoto smoothly. We had plenty of time at each location. The distance to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is quite significant. Without verbal guidance, our family probably wouldn't have been able to get there. Thanks to the guide who took us from the bus to the entrance of the bamboo grove, we were able to go straight there without any detours. Thank you very much.

家族で参加させていただきました。家族五人なので、タクシーにも乗れないし切符購入してる間にそれぞれかってな行動する我が家の家族は本当に京都観光をスムーズに回ることができました。箇所ごとの時間も十分ありました。嵐山の竹林までは、結構の距離が有ります。口頭だけでは多分私達家族では行けなかったでしょう。ガイドさんがバスから竹林入口まで連れて来てくれたため、我が家の家族は寄り道もせず、真っ直ぐ行けました。ありがとうございました

One-day sightseeing in Kyoto from Osaka. 京都１日観光　大阪発

Reviewed by: じゃっきー

I went on a one-day sightseeing tour of Kyoto, departing from JR Namba Station - OCAT Building 1F at 8:50.

Most of the participants were foreigners, but since the guide was Japanese, there were no particular issues.

I only participated in the bus tour, and lunch was at Kiyomizu-dera. I think we had about an hour and a half there? We had lunch at a nearby shop close to the bus parking lot, and by the time we walked to Kiyomizu-dera and back, we were cutting it close, haha.

For Arashiyama, the guide took us to the "Bamboo Grove Path," but we took some photos along the way, and after passing through Tenryu-ji (which has an entrance fee), we were cutting it close again, haha.

I think it's a good option for first-timers to quickly visit the representative spots in Kyoto.

He explained the history and significance of all the sites. We had a great time. The colors of Red and yellow of the leaves was also picturesque.

It was easy to get around, and I was able to fully enjoy the autumn leaves. 移動も楽で紅葉をしっかり楽しめました

Reviewed by: Journeyman

From Kyoto Station to Fushimi Inari, it's just a two-station train ride. After that, I took a bus to Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama, which made traveling quite easy. However, there was traffic congestion, and I couldn't take my time to enjoy the sights as much as I wanted.

One particular issue was the restrooms. The line for the women's restroom took a lot of time, which resulted in not having enough time to explore. It would have been nice to have a bit more time at each location, but then I wouldn't have been able to visit all four places, so it's a tricky situation.

京都駅から伏見稲荷までは電車で二駅の移動
その後はバスで清水寺〜金閣寺〜嵐山と廻り移動はかなり楽でした
ただ車の渋滞や混雑もありあまりゆっくり観ることはできませんでした
特に困ったのがトイレ
女性トイレが並んでいてそれだけで時間がとられ結果あまり見て回る時間がとれなかったのが残念でした
場所場所でもう少し時間が欲しいところだけどそうすると4箇所も回らなくなるし難しいところですね

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Bus tour = many sites in one day possible

Reviewed by: Mary V

Our visit to Kyoto was planned at the height of fall foliage season, on a national holiday, and a Saturday. That meant lots of traffic and big crowds. Kyoto is a beautiful city but the important sites are spread out. If you only have 1 or 2 days a tour is a must. This tour made it possible for us to go to sites that were remote from the Kyoto station, to enjoy a full hot pot lunch mid day, and get an overview of the history of each site as well as the city and region from the extremely engaging guide.

The tour is a really full day, wear good walking shoes (we got out 20,000 steps in) and pack snacks and water. When they say to be back at the bus at a certain time, they mean it! Several guests were left behind at one temple because they were late. The rules are the rules! It’s the only way you can see every place promised.

Our guide, Jorge, did an extremely good job weaving together practical advice for tourists in Japan, history of each location, interesting tips for enjoying our stay and many insights into Japanese culture. Plus, he was funny, which made waiting due to the holiday crowds far more bearable.

Good if you're short on time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Melissa

If you add up the costs of all the entry tickets to the temples and gardens, plus a yummy lunch, the tour is okay for the cost. However we thought it was odd to have a tour guide but most of the talking was done by an automated voice over the bus speakers. Sitting near the back, we couldn't hear the voice clearly and it kept pausing and lagging. If the tour guide is knowledgable about the area, they should be able to deliver the information themselves.

We had an issue with the lunch as there weren't enough meals cooked, so we waited as they made more. Didnt get time to look in the shops surrounding the restaurant like the other participants did, but made up for it at the following stop.
Make sure you get back to the tour bus on time or they will leave you behind! But one of the staff went and retrieved the two lost guests and caught up with us later on in the tour.
There were lots of other tours at each of the stops, as to be expected it was crowded, but still some beautiful sights and great for souvenier shopping! If you only have a day in Kyoto, this is good to see it all.
