This your was absolutely fantastic! Our your guide named Yoshitaka Harada was a great man and knew English (as well as jokes) very well. If you take this tour I highly recommend getting him to give you the your for he gives the experience a comfortable and friendly environment. Here is his card if anybody is interested...

I really liked the tour and enjoyed it very much. What made the tour so memorable and great was the tour guide, mr. Harada yoshitaka. He was very interactive with the group and we could tell that he loved his job.

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!!

A very well organised tour, covering a few of the most important places to see in both Kyoto and Nara. In the end, it is only so much that you can fit in one day...

Well organised interesting trip. Both guide in Kyoto and Nara were hepful and upbeat, fun and enthusiastic to share their knowledge. Lunch was very good for a mass produced meal. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.

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.

Morning tour guide was a bit soft spoken/hard to hear unless you stood very near.Gold Palace was WAY TOO RUSHED!! Maybe a change of order would be better. Afternoon guide was AMAZING!! He was so INFORMATIVE and funny!! Overall we would highly recommend this tour. The only way to see and learn about the top spots in such an efficient way.

I had not been to Kyoto before and this tour was the one to get a feel for the history of the city. The following days I did my own thing, and my experience was definitely enhanced by having first had the guided thing.

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.
