Great way to see many of the areas sights in a day!

Reviewed by: Angela , 2019/06/23

Tour was exactly as advertised.

Great mix of tour information, mixed with opportunities for a few minutes to explore on your own at each stop.

I was traveling alone and wanted to see the highlights of Kyoto and Nara in one day.

Tour group size was good.

Nara World Heritage Sites Afternoon Tour from Kyoto

A lovely afternoon in Nara

Reviewed by: Heather, 2019/04/28

We had a lovely afternoon in Nara... the Buddist temple was amazing, one of my highlights while being in Japan... the Shinto temple was also well worth visiting, and the deers in the park made it a fun day... our guide Hajime san gave us an amazing insight into the Japanese culture and some fun videos on the bus... he is a credit to the company - arigato Hajime san



  • Beautiful Buddist temple

  • Sacred deer

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Don't miss, a convenient way to experience Kyoto and Nara

Reviewed by: Christine , 2018/07/01

We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of beautiful Kyoto and the amazing Todaiji Temple, and Nara deer park. The buffet lunch was very good with plenty of choice and many vegetarian options. The guides were both knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of time was allowed at each location.

The tour office at Kyoto station is a bit difficult to find but the staff at Veltra gave us clear instructions and a google link on request. The tour office is at the basement level just opposite the basement entrance to the Avanti building.
Veltra also helped us sort out our voucher by emailing it directly to Sunset tours as we couldn't print it.

Highly recommended!

Kyoto / Nara

Reviewed by: sarubobo, 2018/06/11

it was a beautiful sunny day, the english speaking guide was nice but hard to understand his english, it will be better when the company provides free wi-fi on the bus like in Tokyo and the Lunch buffet was poorly for this price. Next time will be greater if the company, organise for the Tour Groups separat room with Lunch buffet, look up much better as mixes with others. Lunch time was to short.

Obviously you're packing a lot into one day so you don't spend ages at each place, but this is a great way to see the main highlights and get a feel of the places. Tour guides were great and knowledgable, coach was new and comfy and cool!

An interesting tour, actually 2 tours- Kyoto in the morning and Nara in the afternoon. Somewhat limited by time, but went to all the hot-spots, and appreciated being dropped back at the hotel at the end of the tour. Very poor lunch provided. Knowledgeable and pleasant guide,

wonderful and well organised tour

Reviewed by: rckwu, 2015/04/02

The pick up was easy and be on time. Everyone was on the ball and there were no hassles. We did a comprehensive tour of three site sin kyoto and two in nara. We had admission to the imperial palace and that was a rare treat. Thed golden shrine was spectacular . The giant buddha temple was also a real treat. there were deers everywhere and theyre most friendly. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom then and it was spectacular anywhere in Kyoto and Nara. The lunch was delicious. Our tour guides were all fluent and very helpful and hardworking. I really enjoyed the tour and I would highly recommend it.

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Reviewed by: Meng-Michelle, 2014/05/15

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!!

Reviewed by: Norfaranina, 2012/04/17

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.

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Reviewed by: Tanja, 2009/05/03

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.
