Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Classic Day Tour with Friendly Deer
Guest User2025-08-12
The tour guide contacted very promptly, the route of the itinerary was reasonable, the choice of attractions was also very representative, very classic, and there was a suitable time to play after the attractions. It is a very nice choice for not familiar with the traffic route and not wanting to bother to do the strategy. Very recommended!

I booked a tour with my younger sibling. It was my first time in Osaka, so traveling independently can be physically challenging, but this tour, which included a group tour bus, provided guaranteed rest breaks along the way, making it incredibly comfortable. If I hadn't booked a day tour, I felt it would have been incredibly difficult to get to the tourist spots. Our guide, Haehwa, was incredibly helpful and fun, sharing interesting stories and explanations about the attractions. Haehwa was the best! The schedule wasn't too tight, and we had plenty of free time, so we took lots of photos and visited many delicious restaurants! Not only was Haehwa the guide, but the tour bus driver was also incredibly friendly! This would be a great option for families or couples looking for a day trip to Kyoto. My younger sibling and I were both very satisfied with our Kyoto trip! Thank you! 😍
Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park

Kyoto and Nara are must-see destinations on any Kansai trip. Every corner of Kyoto exudes elegance and Zen-like tranquility; in Nara, the ancient trees and gentle, bowing deer of Todai-ji Temple add a touch of dynamism to this ancient capital. It was a very enjoyable trip. Our guide, Xiao Tian, ​​was very nice and provided excellent service, introducing attractions and offering suggestions for the itinerary. The other members of our group were also very punctual, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Traveling alone, I booked a day trip to Kyoto departing from Osaka. 😆 Our guide, ViVi, was very friendly and attentive, providing excellent explanations in both Chinese and English. There was plenty of time for sightseeing, making it a very fulfilling day. I have wonderful memories of Kyoto. 😊 The matcha ice cream 🍦 was so delicious! 🤤

When traveling without wanting to plan ahead but still wanting to see the sights, signing up for a day tour is a hassle-free option. Based on Ctrip's reputation for reliable quality, I chose their day tour this time, and it was excellent. Our tour leader, Ms. Jiang, was incredibly helpful, from informing us of the meeting point before departure to providing directions at the end. She patiently explained each attraction, and I learned a great deal from her. A huge thank you to Ms. Jiang for treating us to delicious pudding at her own expense! My trip to Osaka was wonderful, and these memories will stay with me for a long time!
