大阪発 日帰りバスツアー 京都・奈良名所巡り 清水寺＋伏見稲荷大社＋奈良公園へご案内＜大阪発着／日本語・中国語or英語＞

Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu-dera were moving. 伏見稲荷、清水寺が感動。

Reviewed by: kiki

This tour was aimed at international travelers, but I highly recommend it for Japanese people as well! It was easy to get to the places I wanted to visit, and I felt secure knowing that the guide, who spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese, would take us to the locations. I wish we had a bit more time in Nara. Since I paid the entrance fee, I made sure to see the Great Buddha, and I walked hard to make it back in time for our departure, which was tiring, but overall, I was very satisfied. The guide was attentive and wonderful. The other participants were all international travelers, and they were punctual and quiet on the bus, which was great. I've found that bus tours with only Japanese participants tend to be noisier and less polite. That's why I would love to join this tour again.

海外の方向けのツアーでしたが、日本人もおすすめです〜行きたい所に、楽に行けたし日本語も英語も中国語も話せるガイドさんが現地まで連れてってくれるから安心できました。奈良でもう少し、時間あったら良かったと思いました。せっかくなので入館料を払い大仏まで見学したので、出発の時間に間に合わせるよう一生懸命歩き疲れたけど、全体的には大満足です。ガイドさんも気配りがあり素晴らしかったです〜またツアー参加者の方も海外の方ばかりだったのですが時間も守りバスの中では静かで、素晴らしい方ばかりでした。日本人だけのバスツアーの方がうるさくてマナー悪いです。だから、また参加したいです。

It seemed to be mainly a tour for foreigners, but they provided guidance in Japanese at key points, allowing me to enjoy it until the end. There was also plenty of free time, so I was very satisfied that I could use a taxi to explore places not included in the itinerary.

主に外国人向けのツアーだったようですが、要所要所で日本語での案内もしてくれたので、最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。

About manners in Japan. 日本のマナーについて

Reviewed by: ミッチー

It was hard to understand which bus to take! If the goal is to teach Japanese manners while sightseeing, I would have liked to see the guide apologize to everyone for being 15 minutes late. Also, I was surprised that while Japanese people tend to sit in the same spot once they take their seats, foreigners do not. The guide was very dedicated and tried hard to communicate in Japanese, and I felt a bit sorry for participating as a Japanese person, but it was fun. Next time, I want to study English and join!

どのバスにのるかわかりづらかった！
日本のマナーとか教えたりしながら観光をする事が目的だとすれば、出発時間15分遅れて来たら、皆に一言謝る姿勢なども伝えてほしかった！また、1度座席に座れば、同じ場所に座るのが、日本人だが、外国の人は、そうではないのにびっくりしたのが、大きすぎて、ガイドも日本語で、がんばって接してくれていて日本人が一緒に参加して申し訳なかったですが、楽しかったです。今度は、英語を勉強してきて参加したいですね！

I had a wonderful experience thanks to a polite and attentive guide. 丁寧で気配りの素晴らしいガイドさんに恵まれて、素晴らしい体験ができました。

Reviewed by: Hirohiro

I booked a tour departing from Kyoto Station.

The meeting point for the tour, the tourist bus stop in front of the Hachijo Exit of Kyoto Station, is located in an easily accessible area where large tourist buses frequently arrive and depart, with convenient access from the Kyoto AVANTI side. However, depending on the time of day, you should be prepared for a large crowd of various travel company guides and numerous tourists gathering at this bus stop.

We were flustered when we couldn't find our scheduled bus at the meeting time, but thanks to the guide calling out participants' names loudly, we were able to join the tour without any issues.

The guide, named Frederick, was fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and had a great sense of humor with a clear voice. His explanations of the tourist sites were easy to understand and thorough, and it was very helpful to see how Japanese culture could be translated into English. He also sent detailed information about the meeting time and stops via LINE, which greatly assisted us in planning our activities. He was very considerate, checking in on our health and understanding of the explanations multiple times, allowing our group to enjoy Kyoto and Nara thoroughly.

There was ample free time in the Kyoto area, making it easy to take breaks, have meals, shop for souvenirs, and take photos or videos at our own pace. We were able to visit Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari Taisha while considering our stamina, and even though it was a very hot day for early June, we successfully completed our stroll.

The time spent exploring Nara Park seemed to be greatly influenced by road traffic conditions, but our tour arrived with plenty of time to spare, allowing us to enjoy interacting with the deer and fulfilling our long-held wish to visit Todai-ji Daibutsuden.

As a tour that departs in the morning and ends in the evening, it efficiently covers Kyoto and Nara. The return destination is the Namba area in Osaka, which offers many options for shinkansen, meals, and accommodations, making it a very convenient location.

If I have the opportunity again, I would like to book a tour with this company.

京都駅発でツアーを申し込みました。

ツアー集合場所となる京都駅八条口前観光バス乗り場は、大型の観光バスが頻繁に発着し、京都AVANTI側からのアクセスも容易な、わかりやすい場所に位置しています。
ただし、時間帯によっては様々な旅行会社のガイドさんと、おびただしい量の観光客がこの乗り場に集結しており大混雑に揉まれることを覚悟しなくてはいけません。

我々は集合時刻になっても予定のバスが見つけられず狼狽えていましたが、ガイドさんが大きな声で参加者名を読み上げてくれたため、無事にツアーに参加することができました。

ガイドさんはFrederickさんといい、中国語、英語、日本語、いずれも流暢でユーモアがあり、声の良く通る方でした。
観光地の説明はわかりやすく丁寧で、日本文化をどのように英語に翻訳したらいいのかがとても参考になりましたし、LINEで集合時間や立ち寄り先の丁寧な案内を送っていただけたので、行動予定をたてるのにとても助かりました。
気配りも素晴らしい方で、体調や解説の理解度を何度もさりげなく確認に来ていただけたこともあり、同行者も大いに京都奈良を楽しむことが出来ました。

京都エリアでのフリータイムが大きくとってあるので、食事や休憩、お土産物探し、写真や動画撮影を自分のペースで挟むことが容易です。
清水寺、伏見稲荷大社界隈を体力と相談しながら観光できるので、6月初旬としてはとても暑い日でしたが無事に散策を終えることができました。

奈良公園での散策時間は道路交通状況に大きく左右されるようでしたが、我々のツアーは余裕のある時間に到着し、鹿とのふれあいを楽しんだり、念願だった東大寺大仏殿への拝観が叶いました。

朝出発、夕方終了のツアーとしては、非常に効率よく京都奈良を巡ることができます。
帰着先は大阪なんばエリアなので、新幹線、食事、宿泊、いずれの選択肢も多くとてもありがたい場所になります。

また機会があれば、こちらの会社のツアーに申し込んでみたいです。

It was a tour for foreigners. The guide's English was easy to understand, and he explained Japan from a foreigner's perspective, which was educational for me as a Japanese person. It also helped me with my English pronunciation! We arrived safely at our final destination, Nara Park, but it was a pity that we couldn't make it in time for the closing hours of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji. The bus tour was convenient and enjoyable.

ガイドさんの英語はわかりやすく外国人の視点で日本の説明をしていたので日本人として勉強になったし、わかりやすい発音で英語の勉強にもなった！最終目的地の奈良公園には無事に着いたけど東大寺の大仏の閉園時間に間に合わなかったのが残念だった。バスツアーは楽でよかった。

Hiroshima and Itsukushima Shrine Full-Day Bus Tour from Kyoto

A fabulous day! A great mix of history, culture and scenery!

Reviewed by: Rajesh

The Hiroshima and Itsukushima Shrine Full-Day Tour from Kyoto organised by Japan Panoramic Tours was once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide, Yurika, was punctual, pleasant and total professional to the hilt. We visited Hiroshima Memorial and museum, had a great Japanese dish cooked in front of us which was delicious. Thererafter went to nearby Miyajima Island which was picturesque. Unfortunately the famous Torii gate was under renovation, but the temple that was covered was one of our favourites. Loved everything about this tour. Highly recommend. A great mix of history, culture and scenery!

Veltra were extremely helpful and prompt in responding to pre-tour questions. This was our first time using them, and will now always look for tours through them.

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.

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

Lovely walking tour but outstanding lunch

Reviewed by: FirsttimeinKyoto

The bamboo grove is breathtaking but we struggled to keep up with our guide through the train station because our group was larger than expected and she made no concessions for the crowded conditions.
The highlight was the lunch on a long boat. We expected a bento box but got a banquet which you cook yourself on a little stove. You have to be able to sit on the floor of the boat for the hour’s cruise but it’s worth it for the views and the experience. Boat capacity 16. Lots of nice places to eat next to the river if boarding a small river raft and sitting cross legged is not for you.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of beautiful Kyoto and the amazing Todaiji Temple, and Nara deer park. The buffet lunch was very good with plenty of choice and many vegetarian options. The guides were both knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of time was allowed at each location.

The tour office at Kyoto station is a bit difficult to find but the staff at Veltra gave us clear instructions and a google link on request. The tour office is at the basement level just opposite the basement entrance to the Avanti building.
