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

MUST BOOK!

Reviewed by: Rawan Habib

My husband & I ENJOYED this trip so much. At first we were very nervous about purchasing this trip due to the fact that it had a special “review rebate” but it turned out to exceed our expectations.

This trip wouldn’t have been the same without June! He was an amazing tour guide. Being in a different country can be nervous but he explained the culture in a way that you will be able to understand! We got to visit all of the popular destinations here in Kyoto without worrying about calling a taxi, time or even admission costs. June took care of everything!

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

Memorable tour

Reviewed by: Herry S

We spend 15 days in Japan and took many local tours from many different tour companies, this is by far the best we had.
Jun, our tour guide, a Japanese native with fluent english speaking, very punctual and organized and also gave us enough free time to explore our own. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Japanese culture and very happy and proudly shared with us along the trip and on every location we visited.
For anyone looking for this tour, I suggest to travel lite, although there's enough time for everyone, we even have a couple with a toddler and stroller within our group at that time, we still manage to finish all location and have spare time. But without our punctual guide, we won't be able to see so many locations in a day.
Very well organized, I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

I recommend this because we were able to efficiently visit various attractions, and since we traveled by bus, we could take a break even when we got tired! In Kyoto, there are many transfers between buses and trains, but with the bus, there was no hassle. The tofu dishes for lunch were also delicious!

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

Effective and efficient tour of Kyoto in 1 day!

Reviewed by: Rachel

I would recommend this tour if you are looking for an efficient and effective use of time to cover all the main attractions of Kyoto in 1 day. The attractions covered were all the must see attractions so there was no time wasted at visiting attractions that were less popular. Time spent at each location is also about right - not too long and not too short. It didn’t feel very rush and we still had time to grab some but and walk around on our own a little. The bus was also comfortable and we manage to catch a nap between the attractions that were further apart. The explanations provided by the guide could be abit more detailed (as we are history lovers), but the information provided is definitely enough if you are looking for just an overview and the gists. Overall, it was definitely a day and money well spent given that we managed to cover all the attractions we wanted to see in Kyoto in one day. It was our first time in Kyoto, so this tour really helped to save us a lot of time and trouble of having to figure our way out via public transport. We wouldn’t have been able to cover all the attractions without this tour. The guided tour also helped us enjoy each attraction efficiently such that we do not have to loiter around aimlessly.

Good experience

Reviewed by: UHG

Very good experience overall. Professional bus driver who drove safely and kept to the strict timelines. Our guide Joon was very friendly and witty. Well done!
I would suggest that the lunch option should include seafood or halal options. After a full day of walking settling for pure vegetarian food was a bit of a let down. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this tour to visitors who have limited time in Kyoto. It takes you to all the major sites and provides you with a good orientation of the city.

The tour was fun, but Kyoto Station is confusing. ツアーは楽しかったけれど、京都駅はわかりにくい

Reviewed by: ひよこまめ

Since it was after the peak of the autumn leaves, we were able to enjoy sightseeing smoothly without any traffic.

I strongly recommend that those meeting at Kyoto Station check the location of Japan Travel in advance. I asked four locals, but none could give me clear directions.

Here are some points that are not clear just from the map:
1. To get to the opposite exit, you need to go up to the second floor first. There are stairs (and escalators) along the way through the free passage, which can be challenging for first-timers.
2. Right outside the Karasuma Exit, there is a rotary for tourist buses, which can be confusing.
3. I was lucky to ask a passing police officer, but according to him, there are two Japan Travel locations in the area.

I think most people who sign up for the tour are not familiar with Kyoto, so it would be helpful if Veltra could provide a photo of the meeting place.

紅葉のピークを過ぎた時期だったこともあり、渋滞もなくスムーズに観光できました。

京都駅集合の方は予め日本旅行の場所を確認しておくことを強くおすすめします。地元の方4人に尋ねましたが明確に分かる方はいませんでした。

地図だけではわからないポイントを上げます。
①反対の出口に行くには一度2階に上がる必要がある。自由通路を突っ切る途中にも階段（エスカレーター）があるなど初めての人には難易度が高い。
②烏丸口に出てすぐの場所は観光バス用ロータリーがあり紛らわしい。
③私は運良く通りかかったお巡りさんに聞けたのでよかったが、お巡りさん曰く周辺には日本旅行が2店舗あるらしい。

ツアーに申し込む人は京都に不慣れな方がほとんどだと思うので、ここはベルトラの方が集合場所を写真付き掲載してくれるとよいと思います。

Reviewed by: Arezoo

This was a great list of places to visit as they are all the places that it would be harder to get to when on your own by public transport. The day was beautiful and our guide was very well informed. I would definitely recommend it. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish we could have stayed longer at some of the locations but with so many to visit and most of the temples and shrines closing before 5 pm here in Kyoto, there was no choice but to move quickly.

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.

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。

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。

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
