Kyoto in a day

Published on Oct, 2024

Fantastic day trip to Kyoto. We had limited time in Japan and had to limit our Kyoto time to one day and this was fantastic. We got to visit shrines, had plenty of opportunities to shop, and have snacks. The meal that came with the tour was delicious and our guide was phenomenal. Recommend this for anyone looking to get some of Kyoto in on limited time.

Great one day Kyoto tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We really recommend this one-day Kyoto tour. Our tour guy was so informative & entertained. We chose our tour with a meal included and the food was full bar fresh seafood, pastries & desserts. Tips: ensure to book your seat reserve as there are little non-reserved seat and you don't want to risk not having a seat to return to your destination. Its really worth it. This tour is one of the highlight of our trips.

Well organized! Super fun

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing tour ! The guides escorted us to the train and received us on the way back . The afternoon in Kyoto was very well organized. We saw three amazing shrines . Despite the crowds the guide kept us together. Lunch was nice at the hotel restaurant.

Great Adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

Extremely well organized and just the right amount of time at each stop. The one day trip to Kyoto was easy. Our guide gave a very detailed detailed and fun tour of 3 major temple sitesā€¦

Great tour!

Published on Aug, 2024

My favorite tour in Japan so far! I spent most of my time in Tokyo so this tour was perfect - Kyoto is a beautiful, serene, cultural city. If youā€™re in Tokyo and debating on whether or not to take the trip to Kyoto, Iā€™d say do it! Tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. The buffet lunch was also delicious!
