I really enjoyed this tour. The walk from ferry to the shrine on Miyojima was totally manageable, even in the extreme heat. The food, snacks and shopping nearby was really great too. After we visited the bomb memorial and museum. This was really interesting and emotional, but I enjoyed learning about it. Again the walking was minimal. Our tour guide was such a sweet-heart too! She was a Hiroshima native, and was born just after the bombing so it effect her loves ones first hand, which resulted in some interesting stories and perspective. I would recommend this tour.

The tour started right on time. The driver was at our doorstep 20 minutes before it started. The driver was very safety conscious - making sure we fastened our seatbelts and drove the vehicle carefully within the speed limit. She was pleasant and accomodating our questions well.
She also managed the time well so that we could finish visiting all the places that were planned.
Well organised tour.
Thank you very much for this one day sightseeing in Kyoto. It is an honor to evaluate the content as 5 stars. Please also use it when you come to Japan.

Our family really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide gave us clear instructions and explained every location we went. After the tour the tour guide even asked every single one of us if we got any questions. Its worth every yen. We will definitely recommend this tour to anyone planning to go to Kyoto who doesn’t have to worry about which train/bus to take. The bus was really comfortable that you can sleep or rest when you are going to the next attraction.

The tour was interesting however the sights were not in the condition which is represented by the tour company. They did not warn the visitors that the tour would be impacted by renovations. They failed to speak into the microphones they carried, meaning only a fraction of the tour group could hear the detail. Because the group is made up of two different tour groups that combine later, they assumed that information was already provided in the earlier pre-lunch tour venues which it had not. Lunch buffet was served cold instead of being kept hot.

We took part in the tour with 6 persons.
It was fruitful experience to visit 5 famous places in Kyoto from/to Osaka within a day!
Guide/Driver knew history about all places we visited and explained kindly with fluent English.
Of course, the car had superior seats to be relaxed.
We canceled to visit Kiyomizu Temple and added to visit Uji Byodoin Temple and Japanese Sake Factory.
There were many places to take beautiful photos like Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji, and Bamboo forest in Arashiyama.
Not only enjoying senaries, satisfied with tasty Japanese Sake and delicious Japanese food! Especially, Sake Factory was amazing that we tried many kinds of expensive/sotisficated sake by 1$(JPY100)/1sip!
We strongly recommend visiting Kyoto even from/to Osaka (not far away), and chartering taxi (not using public transportation) to visit famous places efficiently!
We really thank our driver for the best memory/experience during our stay in Japan!
Regards,

It was nice to visit most popular 5 places in Kyoto within a day.
Our driver drove safely and taught us Japanese history, geografy, custom and manner very kindly.
Although the temperature was very hot, perfect sunshine & sky to take photos!
We recommend chartering a limo if you visit Kyoto first time, and you want to visit polular places in a day.
Especially, Fushimi-Shirine, and Kinkakuji-Shrine were fabulous!
You can also tell a driver what kind of food you want to eat, then, he will find best restaurant per your request (as a referrence, we chose Tofu restaurant, delicious!).
We would like to thank a driver for unforgettable memory of Kyoto.

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 :)

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.
