I think this is a very good tour for efficiently getting around. About 80% of the participants were foreigners, and there were only three Japanese people, including myself. The guide was also a foreigner, but very attentive, and the driver was easy to talk to. However, I was concerned about the manners of some of the foreigners.

効率よく回るにはとても良いツアーだと思います。外国人が80％くらいの参加で、日本人の方は、私を含めて3人でした。ガイドさんも、外国人ですが、、とても気配りのできる方で、ドライバーさんもひたしみやすかったです。ただ、外国人の一部のマナーが気になりました。

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.

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.

Wonderful Kyoto Tour

Reviewed by: DC Tourists

We joined this tour on the last minute, and I am so glad that we did. The tour stops were great, the length was just right, and tour guide, Lanny, was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the 8 hours on this tour.

As a first timer to Kyoto with limited time, we had a hard time to go to all the most popular attractions on our own. We are happy that Panoramic Tour did this for us. The 5 places in the tour, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Sanju-san-gen-do Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Arashiyama/bamboo forest/Tenryu-ji Temple, and then Kinkaku-ji (golden) temple, are all top rated places. These places are kind of spread out, especially Arashiyama, it would have been difficult for us to visit all on our own.

Our tour guide, Lanny, is excellent. She is knowledgeable and funny. Along the way, we learned not only history, but also local sayings and stories, about the temples and shrines that we visited. Lanny is polite, warm, and cares about her customers. To us, this is the best part of joining a tour group.

The tour was on time at each location. The bus itself was clean and had free wi-fi and charging outlets. The lunch, chicken hot-pot, was also a very interesting experience.

Overall we enjoyed this day trip and the top level services from Lanny and the nice driver. The only area can receive improvement is the description about the meeting location. The direction was clear for us, and we had to stop and ask for directions twice before we finally found the Kyoto Avanti building. Turned out we came out of the wrong exit from the Kyoto station and were on the opposite side of the building. It would be helpful if the online direction says which subway exit(s) to take to get to the meeting place.

I was a bit dissatisfied that we had to take a train from Kyoto Station instead of a bus right away, but overall, it was quite good. The bus was comfortable, and we had plenty of time at each sightseeing spot. The plan included meals, and the tempura along with the yudofu was very filling. The hospitality at the restaurant was somewhat lacking, and the dessert was served late, but the food was delicious, so overall, I would rate it positively. I was very satisfied to be able to visit so many popular tourist spots in Kyoto in just one day. I would use this service again if I have the chance.

Reviewed by: うさ太郎

I often use Veltra for reservations abroad, but this was a tour in Japan. There were reviews mentioning that most participants were foreigners, but in reality, almost all 34 people were part of a Japanese group tour. Given that it was a holiday, it was undeniable that there was a shortage of staff at the dining places, and even when we ordered dessert, it never arrived, so we left without eating. Since it was a time-limited tour, they should have known that we wouldn't have time for meals, so I thought it would have been better if they had prepared everything in advance and set the tables from the start. The guide seemed a bit panicked due to the large number of people. Well, if you think of it as a Japanese tour, I suppose that's just how it is.

海外でよく利用しているベルトラの予約でしたが、日本旅行の日本ツアーでした。口コミに海外の方ばかりなどありましたが３４人のほとんどが日本人の団体ツアーでした。連休ということもありお食事処では人手不足が否めなく、デザートを頼んでも出てこないので食べずに出ました。時間が限られているツアーですから、食事に時間が取れないことは分かってるはずですから、はじめからテーブルにセットしておくなど準備されていては・・・と思いました。
ガイドの方は人数が多くて少々パニック気味でした。

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

A whistle stop tour of some of the major sites in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Alan Simpson

This tour is an excellent introduction to some of the amazing historical sites that Kyoto has to offer. The tour meeting point is across from the main railway station (where there are loads of luggage lockers, 500-700y per day) so is very convenient for day trippers. On the day we went the weather was wet and the guide provided umbrellas which was a nice touch. The temples and shrines we visited were busy despite the weather and our excellent guide (Jorge) informed us that crowds were lighter than usual, so be prepared. Some of the sites were also being renovated (Olympics next year?) which was a shame but didn't detract too much from the overall experience. Lunch was a proper Japanese affair which we found tasty and educational, but if you want beer/sake with your food you will have to pay extra. Our tour group (about 40) was a bit unwieldy for a whistle stop tour but we were given a bit off time at each of the sites to explore. Our also guide pointed out other historical sites on the bus route which was helpful to those with more time. An enjoyable day!
