    Kyoto one day!
    JEANJACQUES_B, May 2024
    our story From Tokyo to Kyoto has been wonderfull with guides very helpfull, specially in Kyoto where we enjoyed so much the day in this extraordinary city. Our guide was perfect!!!
    Fun Family Day
    Robin_B, Mar 2024
    We enjoyed the tailored tour, sights, and our tour guide. Overall, I would recommend. However, I suggest reading thoroughly the entire description and be prepared to pay two to three times more than the actual fee for travel costs alone.
    If you like shrines and temples, Kyoto is for you!
    Mike_S, Mar 2024
    Our day long trip to Kyoto was full of delight from end to end. We left Tokyo Station on the bullet train at 6:30 am, arrived at Kyoto Station at 8:30 am and we were with our tour guide, Midori before 9:00 am. Midori was an excellent guide. She packed in as much as possible between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm, and she was wanting to show us more if we had time. Site included Bamboo forest and Tenryuji Temple, Kinkakuji Temple, Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. We came hoping we would “see enough” and left believing “there was little left to see”. The only drawback of a single day-day trip to Kyoto from Tokyo is that if you prioritize the shrines and the temples it leaves little time for shopping if that’s of interest.
    A wonderful experience
    Fahad_A, Dec 2023
    This tour was the best for visiting amd exploring the beautiful city of kyoto in one day. The guide felt like a family member, she was aware of the history, Local attractions, amd walked us through all of the city's major attractions. My first time in kyoto, and she helped us in covering everything in a day and was so helpful. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want the best for your family. 1. The transportation provided was excellent. 2. They spoke arabic, english, amd Japanese, so this was very helpful. 3. They gave us options and asked about our dietary needs. 4. Made sure that we finish everything on time and to guide us through the train station.

    A memorable trip to Kyoto

    We had a wonderful time on our quick trip to Kyoto from Tokyo. Midori, our guide was thoughtful and knowledgeable. She accommodated our requests for an authentic local Japanese meal as well as picking up separately arriving family members. The tour managed to fit in many of the Kyoto must-see sights in a limited amount of time. Midori is also a very good photographer. The car rental in Kyoto was luxurious and the driver skillful; but, very expensive and not included in the cost of the tour.

    Thank you so much and it is of our pleasure to see that you enjoyed it. Our guides are competent and knowledgable. The tour is designed to enable the one day visitors to Kyoto to experience the top sightseeing spots so a hired car is needed to ensure efficiency and pleasure. Thanks alot

    Our guide Yukari was amazing. She was knowledgeable and very fun! Yukari took us to fabulous historical locations and provided wonderful stories about each. If possible ask for her as your guide.

    We had a previous tour booked that was canceled the night before. We booked quickly another tour with Ahmed and he graciously accepted it last minute. He was very knowledgeable and patient with our group of 8. We highly recommend him.

    Thanks a lot for your nice comment. I am glad and happy you enjoyed the tour and my sevices. Wish you all the best. Ahmed
    Guía con muy mal español
    Isbhel_S, Feb 2024
    El operador, el guía y la conductora muy amables. Sin embargo el guía no sabía español realmente. Era muy difícil entender lo que quería decir, al mismo tiempo el no entendía nuestras preguntas. Terminamos buscando en Google lo referente a los lugares. Sentimos que hubiera sido mejor ir sin guía o haber elegido uno en inglés; le hubiéramos entendido más. Si van solo un día si les recomiendo contratar vehículo para poder conocer lo más importante.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    We are very sorry about this guide, and we hope to serve you again. Our spanish-speaking guides are really competent and we are not sure what happened this time since this guide used to get good reviews before. Thanks a lot
