Peace park was the high light

Reviewed by: Leda Maria Pacheco

We enjoyed too much the Miyajima island but the Peace Park was the high light-very touching and a lot of history. The bullet train was sensational

Only Americans. 米人だけ

Reviewed by: kuma

I had a day when I couldn't attend to my American friends who came to rely on me, so I entrusted them to this service. Their feedback was "very satisfied." They requested places they wanted to visit that I had found online in advance, and it seems they were quite flexible. They also helped me with souvenir shopping, which was a great assistance. I believe they were able to create much better memories than if I, an amateur, had guided them around Kyoto. Next time, I would like to try it myself.

私を頼って来てくれたアメリカの友人たちに、私がアテンド出来ない日が一日発生し、その間、彼らだけをこのサービスに預けた。
彼らの感想は "大満足" だった。 予めWEBで見つけておいた、行きたい場所をリクエストし連れていってもらったそうで、かなり融通も利いたようだった。
土産物探しも、付き合ってくれて大変助かった。
素人の私が京都を案内するよりも、遥かに効率良く、良い想い出が作れたことと思う。
次回は自分も乗ってみたい。

Very enjoyable day tour - great guide

Reviewed by: US visitor

If Akiko is your guide, you are very lucky! She is very knowledgable about the sites, and ties in information on Japan's history and culture in an entertaining manner. All Veltra staff were very careful of the transportation to and from Kyoto to Hiroshima. Most enjoyable day!

Kyoto Walking Tour to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Tenryuji Temple & Jojakkoji

could have been better

Reviewed by: Aldi

Weather was terrible, raining all the way through, but no mention in the first few days before the trip the trip that would suggeat the condition. We could've dressed more appropriately. Tour guide was very nice, but she should've stayed in the boat with us. Food was average, nothing special...and we didnt even know what we we were eating!

wonderful and well organised tour

Reviewed by: rckwu

The pick up was easy and be on time. Everyone was on the ball and there were no hassles. We did a comprehensive tour of three site sin kyoto and two in nara. We had admission to the imperial palace and that was a rare treat. Thed golden shrine was spectacular . The giant buddha temple was also a real treat. there were deers everywhere and theyre most friendly. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom then and it was spectacular anywhere in Kyoto and Nara. The lunch was delicious. Our tour guides were all fluent and very helpful and hardworking. I really enjoyed the tour and I would highly recommend it.

Kyoto Half Day Afternoon Tour of Kinkakuji and Toji (SB Course)

Afternoon Tour of Kinkakuji and Toji

Reviewed by: Jun

It was my first time to visit Toji temple and second time to visit Kinkakuji temple, and each visit touched me.
It was a great experience to see the inside of the 5 storied pagoda of Toji temple and learn about Japanese traditional architecture.
And I was enthralled by beauty of Kinkakuji temple in the sunset.
Time scheduling was well thought out, which is good because I was worried about missing the bullet train because I had to go back to Tokyo on that day. During the high season, give yourself extra time.

Great time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: teddy85

First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Reviewed by: Meng-Michelle

It was a fantastic experience for my family including our 10-year old daughter. We had only limited time in Kyoto area so we wanted to get the best of Kyoto. We were certainly did the right thing by choosing this tour. The morning was in Kyoto and afternoon in Nara. We got to see beautiful historical sites including Nijo Castle, Imperial Palace, the Deer Park... but the part we loved the most was our afternoon guide, who's a lovely lady from Osaka area. She not only provided information about the places we visited but only added a lot of rich content about Japanese history and culture. She made our experience so enjoyable! She brought some beautiful Japanese music to play on our way back to Kyoto from Nara while we rest and trying to take in all the impression we had had during the intensive 10 hour visit of two of the oldest cities in Japan. Just before reaching the final stop, she performed a Japanese song for us which left a very sweet memory in our hearts. It's shame that I didn't remember her name, but her sweet voice and warm smile will be with me for a long time. Thank you our lovely tour guide-san!!

It's perfect for efficient sightseeing. 効率の良い観光に最適です

Reviewed by: mike-hiro

I used this service to guide a couple visiting from South Africa. It was very optimal for sightseeing efficiently in a short six-hour time frame. The driver speaking English was also a plus. I believe the direct conversation between the guests and the driver deepened personal understanding and increased the guests' enjoyment.

For the sightseeing plan, I basically just communicated the places I wanted to visit to the driver and left the rest to him, which resulted in the most efficient sightseeing experience.

Although the cherry blossom season had already passed, I was hoping to show the guests some cherry blossoms. The driver advised that Ninna-ji Temple would have late-blooming cherry blossoms in full bloom, so we visited. Just as the driver said, they were in full bloom, and we were able to enjoy it at the perfect timing.

The car was comfortable to ride in and I think it was worth the cost. I would like to use this service again on my next opportunity.

南アからの訪問者ご夫婦を案内するのに使わせて頂きました。６時間の短時間で効率良く観光するにはとても最適です。運転手さんが英語を話せるのもGoodです。お客さんと運転手さんの間で直接会話が弾み、個人的な理解も深まってお客さん自身も楽しみが増えたと思います。
観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
車も乗り心地が良く十分コストに見合うものだと思います。次の機会も利用させて頂きたいと思っています。

We were taken care of by a total of four people, including two Americans. As expected from a top English guide in Kyoto, they were attentive not only to temples and history but also to dining locations and movie filming spots. Their politeness was commendable. This is true Japanese hospitality.

アメリカ人2人と合計4人でお世話になりました。さすが京都の一流英語ガイドです。寺院、歴史はもちろん、食事の場所やら、映画の撮影場所紹介などこと小まめでした。礼儀正しいのが良かった。これぞ日本のおもてなしです。

Nice trip if you want to experience Shikansen if you haven't done so yet. Trip to Miyajima is quite relaxed. We had beautiful weather, so the ferry ride, the visit to the temple and the walk through the Peace Park was both impressive, leisurely and enjoyable. Although lunch was not included you have a lot of choice of food near the temple.

After checking in at Urban Hotel Kyoto, our driver was waiting for us in the hotel lobby. At first impression, he spoke English well, so I was immediately confident that communication would not be an issue. He was also very polite and courteous. The car we rode in was spacious and comfortable.

Our first destination was Kinkaku-ji Temple. Our knowledgeable guide was very informative all along the way, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of this historical site. The experience at Kinkaku-ji Temple truly is a fine example of human architecture and nature co-existing in harmony.

Our next destination was the Bamboo Walk, where famous parts of the movie scene from "Memoirs of a Geisha" were filmed. Next, we headed towards Tenryuji Tsukurimichi-cho.

Our final stop of the day was Gion. After an informative introduction by our driver, we bade him goodbye and were left to enjoy the rest of the evening walking in the area of Gion. We would definitely like to come back to Kyoto again for our next trip to Japan, which has left us with an everlasting impression of beauty, cleanliness, and impeccable standards of service!

The tour was interesting.. but the only lacking are the details. We didn't know that lunch is provided for a one day tour. As we are a muslim couple, it was too late for us to change our menu to a non-pork menu. So we didn't get to eat much...

We also wish that the tour guide would stick together, or announce where he/she will be as there was one part of the tour, we seemed a bit lost, especially at a crowded Kinkakuji Temple.

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Reviewed by: Tanja

The one-day trip to Kyoto & Nara was definitely worth it. The highlights in Kyoto gave a first idea of the city, which was interesting, and lunch in the handycraft center was actually better than I had expected for a tourist group treat. But I particularly liked the afternoon in Nara - the space and green surroundings of the sights are perfectly relaxing and you really get into holiday mood while visiting magnificent historical places.
While I preferred the afternoon on the programme side, it was the opposite for our guides: the morning guide was great (perfect English & a very good mix of historical and country information), the guide in the afternoon was less helpful (not so good English, less information...)
Overall, definitely a good tour.
