I came to Osaka for sightseeing by car. 大阪に　車で　観光に来て

Reviewed by: kame

We came to Osaka for a 2-night trip with our family of four (children in 5th grade and 1st year of high school).

On the first day, we went to the usual Universal Studios Japan. What should we do on the second day?

That's when we found this tour.

I was concerned about parking in Kyoto with our own car, so this was just perfect.

家族　4人（子供　小５　高１）で　２泊で大阪観光に来ました。

I enjoyed my solo trip. 一人旅でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: つくし

The plan was to meet up with the group at Fushimi Inari Taisha after starting from Osaka, but I was the only participant starting from Kyoto Station, so I was lucky to hear a lot of stories before we met up. Compared to when I explored a few places on my own the day before, they pointed out must-see spots, and since we could freely explore at the destinations, I recommend this for those who want to efficiently visit famous places. Most of the participants were foreigners, and the guide's explanations were in both English and Japanese, so it was fun to listen and think about how much I could understand from the English explanations. Kyoto is a wonderful place, and there are still many places I want to visit. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different course.

大阪初のグループと伏見稲荷大社で合流するプランでしたが京都駅初の参加者は私一人で、合流するまでたくさん話が聞けてラッキーでした。前日に自分で何ヵ所か観光した時と比べると見所ポイントを教えてくれて行った先では自由に観光できるので有名どころを効率よく回りたい人にはおすすめです。外国人の方がほとんどでガイドさんの説明も英語と日本語なので英語の説明がどこまで理解できるかなんて思いながら聞くのも楽しかったです。京都は素敵な所でまだまだ行きたいところがたくさんあります。その時はまた他のコースのツアーに参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: blueberry

We participated with three people while we were in Hokkaido for other business. Most of the attendees were inbound tourists, so there was no need for Japanese explanations, but the kind and accurate explanations made it very enjoyable for us.

The tour guide, Nao, was very attentive to the participants and provided explanations that were easy to understand. Her ability to appear anywhere, along with her dash and skip, was a big hit with my family.

I would be happy to meet again on another tour. It was a very enjoyable and memorable tour of Kyoto. Thank you very much.

Reviewed by: koara

The bus was filled with foreigners. However, my daughter has an understanding of English and Japanese that is about the same, so it was great that there were explanations in both languages. Moreover, being able to see this amount in one day is something only a tour can offer. If I were to go on my own, I think I would probably be limited to two places at most.

We walked a lot, but it was a fun sightseeing experience. I am very satisfied. The guide took our photos, and they turned out really well. We have some great family pictures as a keepsake. Thank you for your help. I would like to participate again.

バスの中は外国人の方ばかりでした。が、うちの娘は英語と日本語が同じくらいの理解度なので、英語と日本語の両方で説明があるのが良かったです。しかも１日でこの量、観光できるのはツアーならではです。自分で行こうと思うと多分２箇所が限界だと思います。

Experiencing different cultures while in Japan. 日本に居ながらにして異文化体験

Reviewed by: ゆうゆうのジイジ

Out of a total of 44 participants, there were only two Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, followed by Japanese. This was not a source of dissatisfaction; rather, since the Japanese participants spoke English, it was not difficult to understand, and it also served as a good opportunity to study English. Although it was a tour of Kyoto, it had a strong sense of being in a foreign place, making for a fun and strange experience. The highlights were well covered, and the Japanese cuisine course for lunch was interesting for the international guests, as they didn't know how to eat it and were watching how my husband and I did.

全体の参加者が44名の中で日本人は二人だけ。基本は英語の説明があってそのあと日本語で。これが不満という事はなく、むしろ日本人が話す英語なので理解は難しくなく英語の勉強にもなりました。京都のツアーながらアウェイ感満載で不思議な感覚の楽しいツアーとなりました。見所はキチンと押さえていてお昼の日本料理コースは海外の方からすると食べ方が解らず、私たち夫婦の食べ方を見ながらという面白い光景もありました。

Our driver was efficient, kind, professional, personable and very helpful. After hearing where we wanted to visit, he made recommendations about the order and timing of our day. We also needed to find a birthday cake and buy shinkansen tickets and he called a bakery and waited outside the station while we went to the ticket counter. The car was clean and comfortable. In addition, he selected exactly what we requested for a lunch stop: fast, local, easy to seat 14 people and good food.

We also hired a 9-seater Hi-ace van as we were a large group of 14. He worked well with the other driver and took turns explaining things as we were on site at shrines, temples and gardens.

Very satisfied!! 大満足！！

Reviewed by: egg

I had been to Kyoto several times before, but this time I wanted to do some serious sightseeing, so I signed up for a tour.

First of all, my honest impression is that it was a very satisfying tour. We visited four famous spots in one day, which was a bit physically demanding, but I was aware of that when I joined, so I have no complaints. The time spent at each location was just right—not too long and not too short.

Our tour guide, Shimizu, was very kind and attentive, making sure to accommodate us Japanese participants among the foreign tourists.

Although the participants were mostly foreign tourists, surprisingly, they were punctual and smiled a lot. We enjoyed taking photos of each other and had fun conversations.

I recommend this tour for those who want to explore Kyoto thoroughly in one day and enjoy seeing the city with foreigners.

何度か行ったことのある京都でしたが、今回はガッツリ観光がしたかったので申し込みました。

まず率直な感想としては大満足なツアーになりました。
有名どころの4ヶ所を1日で周ったので体力的に少し大変な部分もありましたが、それも承知の上での参加だったので不満はありません。
ひとつひとつの場所も長すぎず短すぎず丁度良い滞在時間でした。

添乗員の清水さんも外国人観光客ばかりのなか、日本人の自分達にも心地よく親切丁寧に対応して頂きました。

参加者は外国人観光客ばかりでしたが、失礼ながら意外にも集合時間も守るし笑顔も多くお互いに写真を撮りあったら会話も楽しかったです。

ガッツリ1日で京都を周りたい方、外国人と楽しく京都を見て周りたい方にオススメのツアーです。

I wanted to change my departure from Osaka to disembark in Kyoto, and the prior inquiry was very polite and left a good impression. On the day of the tour, it was a Monday after a holiday, and everywhere was crowded, but we were able to move around very efficiently. In Arashiyama, we had free time to explore, but we were guided to the popular bamboo grove as requested. About 60% of the participants were international tourists, and after the English guidance, we also received instructions in Japanese, which made me feel like I was part of an overseas bus tour.

大阪発着を京都下車に変更したく、事前の問い合わせもとても丁寧で好感が持てました。
当日は、連休後の月曜日でどこも混雑していましたが、とても効率よく回れました。嵐山も自由散策ですが、リクエストの多い竹林までは案内していただけました。

This was a tour that efficiently guided us through the famous sites of Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and Arashiyama in Kyoto. I think it would be difficult to visit all these places in one day on your own. It's great that we could be taken to Kyoto without having to go there from Osaka.

What stands out is that we had the best guide. Their attention to detail and overall guidance were exceptional. In Arashiyama, they even called a taxi to run through the bamboo grove for my brother, who couldn't walk. I highly recommend this tour.

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

Crowds and delays

Reviewed by: Maile

The positives: bus transportation and pre-paid access into shrines and temples. The negatives: It was initially described as a Fall excursion but it was more like a highlights tour. They did not address any of the autumn trees or traditions for that time of year. Because of the Fall season is so popular, all of the places were very crowded, leading to a near race at each site just to get there and back in time for the bus. It also lead to a more than one hour delayed return, which, to be fair, they said might happen, but an update as the day progressed would have been better than announcing it at the tail end of a long day. We had plans to get back to JR station by a certain time so we had to depart the bus early and catch our own cab ride back which cost nearly $40.

This was my first time participating. 初めて参加して

Reviewed by: T・H

Our factories are located in Japan, China, and Vietnam. This time, we were planning a company event inviting participants from China and Vietnam. On the last day, we arranged for sightseeing in Japan. Although it was a rather tight schedule for their stay in Japan, I felt happy when I heard the visitors say, "It was really beautiful. I had fun. I want to come to Japan again," at the end. This was our company's first joint event. Personally, I think it's been over ten years since I last visited Kyoto. Even though there was an interpreter with the visiting members, it was my first time guiding first-time visitors in Japan, so I was filled with anxiety. However, thanks to the guide who looked out for me and offered support, we managed to complete the tour safely. Right now, I feel relieved.

We were able to go during the most beautiful season for autumn leaves, and it was truly stunning. I was moved. Next time, I want to leisurely walk around the streets of Kyoto for the sole purpose of enjoyment, not work. Thank you very much for your support.

弊社の工場は日本と中国とベトナムにあります。今回は、中国とベトナムの方を招いての会社行事を企画しておりました。最後の一日に日本観光を計画しての参加でした。かなり強行な日程での日本滞在でしたが、来日された方から最後に「本当に綺麗だった。楽しかった。また日本に来たい。等々」の言葉が聞こえてきた時は私も嬉しく感じました。会社的にも第一回目の合同行事でした。私自身も京都は十数年ぶりと思います。来日メンバーには通訳さんがいるとはいえ、初めての来日の方々を観光へ案内することは私自身初めてのことでしたので不安でいっぱいでした。しかし、ガイドの方に気にかけていただいて、声をかけていただいて何とか無事に終えることができました。今はとにかくホッとしています。
紅葉が綺麗な一番いい時期に行くことが出来て本当に綺麗でした。感動しました。
今度は、仕事絡みではなく、ただ楽しむことだけを目的にゆっくり京都の街を歩いて観光してみたいと思います。

The new female guide was inadequate. She was just reading from her notes without any emotion, so what she was saying didn't come across. In the end, even the driver started giving advice. Her voice was quiet and lacked clarity. You can tell when someone is trying their best, even if they aren't skilled, but this guide didn't have that. I think she is not suited for being a guide.

An efficient and fulfilling tour. 効率的で充実したツアー

Reviewed by: Mimi

I participated alone while on a business trip to Osaka. From what I saw, about 90% of the participants were foreigners (from China, South Korea, India, Australia, etc.). The guide provided information in both Japanese and English (there were comments from others saying that there was little guidance in Japanese, but in the session I attended, the announcements were made in both languages without any issues). The guide was very good at managing time and keeping participants informed, so we departed on time from all the sightseeing spots. When I asked the guide questions, they provided very polite and thorough answers.

In one day, we were able to visit Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama/Sagano, making for a very fulfilling experience. I wouldn't have been able to navigate all of this as efficiently on my own, so participating was definitely the right choice.

I was satisfied with the reasonable time allocation! 無理のない時間配分に満足でした！！

Reviewed by: ９０７ｋｍ

Recently, I joined this tour during my trip to Kyoto. The itinerary started with gathering at Kyoto Station and taking a train to Fushimi Inari Taisha. From there, we met up with a group from Osaka and explored Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama by bus.

The tour included a Japanese guide who spoke English, but generally, participants had the freedom to explore on their own, with the guide introducing recommended spots. I rated this experience as "good" mainly because the overall time allocation was well-balanced. However, the guide's walking speed was quite fast, making it difficult for participants to keep up. Given that these tourist spots are already crowded, I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for the participants. I felt it might be a bit tough for elderly people, those with disabilities, pregnant women, and families with small children.

Overall, the itinerary allowed for a leisurely exploration of Kyoto's attractions, creating great memories, so I was quite satisfied.

先日、京都旅行で本ツアーに申し込み、参加してきました。
旅程は京都駅に集合し電車で伏見稲荷大社へ移動、伏見稲荷大社からは大阪から参加していたグループと合流し、バスで清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山を散策するものでした。
ツアーには英語ができる日本人ガイドさんが同行しますが、基本的には各人自由行動であり、ガイドさんがお勧めのスポットを紹介してくださる内容となっていました。
今回の評価を「よかった」にしたのは全体的に時間配分が程よく良かったのですが、ガイドさんの歩くスピードが速く参加者が付いて行くのに大変そうだったのでこの評価とさせて頂きました。ただでさえ混雑している観光地なので参加者にもう少し気配りして頂けると嬉しかったです。お年寄りや身体が不自由な方、妊婦さん、小さなお子様連れにはちょっと厳しいかなと感じました。
今回の旅程は京都の観光地をゆっくり散策でき、いい思い出となったので十分満足できました。

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

One day Tour of Kyoto for the busy traveller

Reviewed by: Dr George Ryland

We took a one day tour with Veltra on Saturday 25 August. The tour commenced on time at Jolly's Coffee Shop opposite the Shin Kyoto Station. The tour gave us a comprehensive overview of the temples, shrines and gardens in Kyoto. There is a fair amount of walking to visit each site and this coupled with mid 30's temperatures was indeed a challenge for us in our mid 70's. Nevertheless the guide did point out shortcuts for us and still see the important sites. Lunch on this day was similar to a shabu shabu event with chicken & vegetable cooked at the table individually. It would have been even better in cooler weather. We found the tour ideal for the one day traveller to at least gain an overview of the beautiful historic sites of Kyoto.

Reviewed by: こてつ@北海道

Since I came all the way to Osaka, I wanted to extend my trip a bit further to Kyoto, and I decided to join this tour that seemed efficient for visiting various places. Even though I was exhausted from the summer heat in Kyoto, I was able to enjoy a fulfilling time without the hassle of navigating trains or checking timetables. At Kiyomizu-dera, I ran out of time and could only manage to grab lunch without being able to worship, which I regret a little. I understand there are limits to the time spent on-site, but it seems there was no strict need to adhere to the prior notice stating, "Lunch will be on your own at Kiyomizu-dera." I wish I had eaten my bento during the transfer from Fushimi Inari Taisha, but I’ll take this as a lesson for next time.

せっかく大阪まで来たので、もう少し足を伸ばして京都まで行きたいと考えていて、効率よく色々回れそうなこのツアーへの参加を決めました。真夏の京都の暑さにぐったりしながらも、自分で電車などで移動するわけではないので、地図を見たり時刻表を確認する手間もなく、すごく充実した時間を過ごすことができました。清水寺では時間が足りず、ランチをとるのがやっとで参拝には至らずだったのがちょっと心残り。現地での滞在時間には限界があるのはわかっていますが、事前の案内に『清水寺で個々で昼食です』というお話を忠実に守る必要もなかったようなので、稲荷伏見大社からの移動中にお弁当を食べちゃうみたいなことをすれば良かったなぁと後悔してますが、次回の教訓にします。
