Kyoto & Nara Day Tour from Osaka Fushimi Inari, Kinkakuji, Arashiyama, Nara Park

Too much time in the coach

Reviewed by: Me@

yes the weather was bad and the traffic also, however it felt like trying to cram too much into the day especially when doing two pick ups and drop offs an hour apart

【英語ツアー】伏見稲荷大社＋金閣寺＋嵐山＋奈良公園日帰りバスツアー＜京都発／英語ガイド＞

Guide (Nick) was kind and fun. Thank you. Guide(ニックさん) 親切で楽しくてよかった。感謝。

Reviewed by: Muranaka

On June 26, I participated in the English tour with three others. "Thank you, Nick. It was fun."

Overall, it was good. Here are some points of concern:
1) We gathered more than 30 minutes early for the 9:00 AM departure from the Kyoto VIP Lounge (check-in ended 10 minutes prior), but the bus actually arrived and started at 9:30 AM.
2) I wanted more time at Nara Park. Playing with the deer was the main reason for participating, but we had no time at all after visiting Todai-ji.
3) The tours from Osaka and Kyoto should be separated. The driver was too concerned about their working hours, which made it difficult for the guide. If there wasn't a 1 to 2-hour round trip from Osaka, the tour could have been more relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy it more leisurely (especially for foreign tours). This way, we could allocate an additional 30 minutes at each point.

6/26 英語ツアーに4名で参加の村中。「Nickさん、ありがとう。楽しかったです。」
全体的には良かった。気になる点だけ箇条書きで。
1）京都VIPラウンジ9時出発⁽10分前受付で終了）ということで30分以上前に集合したが、実際BUSが来てスタートしたのが09:30だった。
2）奈良公園でもっと時間が欲しかった。鹿と遊べるのを参加の最大の理由だったが、東大寺に行ったら全く時間がなかった。
3）大阪発着と京都発着を分けるべき。ドライバーの勤務時間を気にし過ぎて、その調整でガイドが気の毒。大阪の往復1時間～2時間の移動距離がなければ、ツアーにもっと余裕が出来てお客もゆっくり楽しめるはず。（特に外国人ツアーは）
そうすると各ポイントで＋30分は時間を取れるはず。

Reviewed by: ノリ

I was a bit anxious before participating in the tour to Kyoto and Nara because it was only available in English, and I don't speak English very well. However, the guide was kind and helpful, which made the experience very enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up for it.

参加日の京都、奈良に行くツアーが、英語ツアーしかなく、そんなに英語が喋れたりもしないので、参加する前は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく、親切に対応してくれた事もあり、大変楽しく参加する事が出来ました。申し込んで良かったと思っています。

大阪発 日帰りバスツアー 京都＆奈良の有名観光地を周遊！伏見稲荷大社＋金閣寺＋嵐山＋奈良公園＜英語ガイド＞

The tour itself was excellent. ツアー自体は最高

Reviewed by: hiro

I wanted to take a day trip to Kyoto during my stay in Osaka, so I joined the tour with my partner, who doesn't understand Japanese. The tour itself was very satisfying as it efficiently covered the sightseeing spots! My partner seemed to enjoy it a lot, and I was glad we participated.

If I had to mention some dissatisfaction, it would be that Kinkaku-ji was too crowded with tourists, and because of the rain, everyone had umbrellas, making it very difficult to move around. We also didn't have much time, so we couldn't take our time to appreciate it. Additionally, someone on the same bus was always late for the meeting time, which meant we lost the time we were looking forward to at Todai-ji, and that was disappointing.

大阪滞在中に日帰りで京都に行きたくて、日本語が分からないパートナーといっしょに参加しました。
ツアー自体は効率よく観光地を回れて非常に満足いくものでした！パートナーも非常に楽しそうにしていて、参加してよかったと思いました。
不満な点を挙げるとすれば、金閣寺は観光客が多すぎ＆雨でみんな傘をさしていて非常に動きづらさがあった＆時間もあまり無くて落ち着いて見られませんでした。
また、同じバスに乗っていた方が常に集合時間に遅れたため、楽しみにしていた東大寺へ行く時間が無くなり残念でした。

Participated with friends in Hawaii. ハワイの友人と参加

Reviewed by: モチ

It seems to be a tour starting in Osaka, and the bus arrived in Kyoto 20 minutes late, which delayed the start. However, the stays at the subsequent sightseeing spots were just the right length, allowing me to show my friend the things I wanted them to see. I was really satisfied to show them Fushimi Inari and Kinkaku-ji, which I really wanted them to see. The lunch with hot pot was delicious too!

At the end in Nara, we were told that we might not have time to see the Great Buddha at Todai-ji because we were running late, and I was disappointed. However, the guide quickly took all the participants to the front of Todai-ji, so we were able to see the Great Buddha safely.

Thank you very much. If you want to take your time to look around, you might feel a bit rushed, but I think it's a good tour for those who want to cover the main sightseeing spots in a short amount of time.

大阪スタートのツアーのようで、京都には20分遅れでバスが来たので、スタートが遅れましたが、その後の観光地でもちょうどいい長さの滞在で、友人に見せたかったものを見せることができました。伏見稲荷と金閣寺は、本当に見せたかったので大満足でした。お昼の鍋も美味しかったです♪
そして最後の奈良では時間が押して東大寺の大仏を見る時間がないかもと言われたのですが、がっかりしていたら、ガイドさんが、東大寺の前まで参加者全員を連れて早歩きで連れていってくださったので、無事大仏さんも見れました。
ありがとうございました。
ゆっくり見たいなら少し時間が足りないと感じるかもしれませんが、メインの観光地を短い時間で抑えたい方には良いツアーだと思います。

I'm glad I was able to visit various tourist spots efficiently in one day! 効率よく１日で色んな観光地へ行くことができて良かった！

Reviewed by: 郁旅

I participated with my daughter and son-in-law who live in America. On the day of the tour, a guide explained various things in English and Chinese. (The explanations were only during the drive; at the sightseeing spots, we had complete freedom to explore.)

We had plenty of time at each sightseeing location, so we could enjoy the sights at a leisurely pace. We arrived a bit late at the last sightseeing spot, Nara, and almost missed the visiting hours for Todai-ji, but the guide kindly led us partway in the rain to ensure we wouldn't get lost, and we made it just in time. I truly appreciate the help. My daughter and son-in-law were also very happy.

アメリカに住む娘夫婦と参加。当日は、お一人のガイドさんが英語と中国語で色々と説明してくださいました。（説明は車中のみ、観光地は全て自由行動）
各観光地では充分時間があったので、ゆっくり観光することができました。
最後の観光地奈良に到着したのが少し遅くなり、東大寺への拝観時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、ガイドさんが道に迷わないようにと雨の中途中まで連れて行ってくださり間に合いました。本当にお世話になりました。娘夫婦も大喜びでした。

We loved Yuki's (the tour guide to Nara) deadpan humor and engaging personality. She was thoroughly familiar with all the tourist spots and even engaged with us (the tourists) on a personal level. She communicated clearly and spoke in understandable English. Would totally recommend her as a tour guide to friends :)

Reviewed by: Margarita Teresa C. A.

The tour was well worth the money paid for. We had more than 3 guides who took care of us in each destination explaining every detail and even accompanied us on our way back to the Osaka Namba Station from Nara. They gave us maps and instructions to guide us back to our hotel. They were very helpful and concerned. I believe it would be hard for tourists to go on their own to the destinations of this tour specifically the Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Imperial Palace because you have to secure a permit before you can enter. With this tour, all are taken cared of. We had a big group so a big bus took us from the meeting point to Kyoto. Unfortunately, there were some in our group who were always late. The guide was very polite but firmly reminded all of us to be at meeting point on time otherwise they will be left behind (which I appreciate otherwise we will have less time in all the other destinations). The Todaiji temple was just majestic. Looking at the pictures now, it really is more beautiful to see it real. We had more than enough time to enjoy Nara, feed the deers and just relax in the park. I would definitely recommend this tour.
