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。

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです・・

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。

It wasn't good. 良くなかった

Reviewed by: 保栄茂

We gathered at the meeting point, which was the tourist bus parking lot under the GOGODAY flag. However, when we arrived, almost all the tour buses had the GOGODAY flag displayed, and we searched for our bus but couldn't find it. While we were standing there, a foreign guide called out to us, and we thought we could finally board, but it turned out that the bus wasn't parked in the lot. Instead, we had to walk about 200 meters to a convenience store parking lot, where we found not a bus, but a 10-seater HiAce wagon. We ended up being exactly 10 passengers, but as expected, the interior was so cramped that we couldn't move. During the ride to the first destination, the uncomfortable vehicle made me feel unwell, and I decided I couldn't take it anymore, so I canceled the tour. After that, I returned to Kyoto Station using public transportation.

集合場所、観光バス駐車場でGOGODAYの旗の下に集合ということで行ってみると ほとんどのツアーバスがGOGODAYの旗が掲げられてて、私達が乗るバスを探し回るが該当するバスは無く、その場で佇んでいたら、外国人のガイドさんから声がかかり、やっと乗れると思いきや、バスは駐車場内には止めて無いと言う事で200ｍ程歩かされたコンビニの駐車場で、そこに待機してたのはバスで無く10名乗りのハイエースワゴンに私達乗って丁度10名の客が乗りました、案の定車内は身動きもできないほどのキツキツな状態で最初の目的地までの道中、快適とは言えない車に揺られながらいると気分がすぐれなくなり、これ以上無理だと思い このツアーをあきらめてキャンセルしました。その後 公共交通機関で京都駅までもどりました。

I thought of it as a means of transportation. 交通手段と思って

Reviewed by: Kiki.t

I wasn't surprised since I had seen previous posts, but most of the participants were from China, and the explanations were also in Chinese. It seemed that the guide couldn't speak much Japanese, so I asked about the meeting time and place and then had some free time. If you use it purely as a means of transportation, I think there won't be any issues. The Chinese participants also had good manners on the bus; it was quiet and comfortable. In the morning, the bus arrived just in time, and there was no announcement, which made me a bit anxious. I think it would have been better if someone had provided guidance in advance.

以前の書き込みを見ていたので、驚きはありませんでしたが、ほとんどが中国の方で、説明も中国語でした。ガイドさんもあまり日本語が話せないようで、集合時間と場所を聞いて、自由行動しました。交通手段として割り切って利用すれば、問題ないかと思います。中国の方もバスの中でのマナーも良く、静かで快適でした。朝、バスがギリギリに到着し、案内掲示がなかったので、ちょっと不安でした。事前に係の人が案内していただければ良いかと思いました。

Struggling to find the tour bus. ツアーバスを探すのに四苦八苦

Reviewed by: リリ

I struggled to find the tour bus at the crowded meeting point filled with sightseeing buses. There was no display of the tour name, so every time a bus arrived, I had to confirm with the driver, only to be told it was the wrong one, which increased my anxiety. Finally, when I received a call on my mobile, it turned out to be the bus I had checked once before. The guide mentioned that there was a Chinese participant on the list, which led to the mix-up. I began to lose trust in the service.

However, the Chinese guide repeatedly apologized and showed genuine concern, which helped ease my feelings of distrust. I believe that if the tour name were displayed on the bus, it would go much more smoothly. Other Chinese tours also lacked this display, while Japanese companies had clear signage. I hope for improvements in this area.

観光バスでごった返す集合場所でツアーバスを探すのに苦労した。
ツアー名の表示がないのでバスが到着する度に運転手に確認するも、違うと言われ不安ばかりが増す。やっと携帯電話に連絡が入ると一度確認したバス。ガイドが名簿に中国人の参加者とあったので間違えたとのこと。業務に不信を持つ。
中国人ガイドがひたすら謝罪してくれたことや声かけ、心遣いが感じられ不信感は薄らいだ。
バスにツアー名の表記があればスムーズにいくと思われる。他の中国系のツアーは同じように表記なし。日本の会社はきちんと表記あり。改善求む。

The day trip tour to Arashiyama and Sanzen-in in Kyoto was disappointing. 京都嵐山、三千院日帰りツアー　残念でした

Reviewed by: Yoko

The guide spoke mostly in Chinese and only mentioned the meeting time and place in Japanese. I was looking forward to explanations in English, but there were none, which was disappointing. The driving of the microbus was rough and scary. I felt that the tour price was high, especially since the entrance fee and meal costs were not included.

ガイドは、ずっと中国語を話し、日本語では集合時間と集合場所を言うぐらいでした。英語ての説明を楽しみにしたのに、それは一切なく、残念でした。
マイクロバスの運転も荒つぼく、怖かったです。
拝観料、食事代も含まれず、ツアー代は高いと感じました。

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。
