Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour
_TIKR******20x53v2026-02-18
A trip with my mother and sons! It was a wonderful trip. Guide Kim Nam-gil was so considerate of my mother by giving her the front seat, and we had a wonderful trip without any motion sickness. It was wonderful to see him take care of each and every traveler. I look forward to sharing his wonderful journey with many more people. ^^★

Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Classic Day Tour with Friendly Deer
Anonymous user2026-02-12
I was truly satisfied with the Kyoto day tour with guide Kim Nam-gil on February 12, 2026! It wasn't just about seeing the sights; he also provided detailed explanations of Kyoto's history and culture while we were traveling, making the trip feel even more meaningful. He was attentive to every detail, allowing me to enjoy the tour in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to him, I was able to create wonderful memories in Kyoto. Thank you!★

Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Anonymous user2025-11-19
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.★

Reviews: Osaka & Kyoto Must-Visit Attractions: Wishes at Katsuo-ji + Scenic Arashiyama in Kyoto + Golden Pavilion Pilgrimage
Guest user2026-02-04
I decided to join this trip on a whim, and it turned out to be the best travel experience I've had recently! All three attractions are hidden in the mountains or suburbs, and it would have been really difficult to get around by public transportation. Luckily, we had a thoughtful driver and a warm and welcoming guide who took care of us throughout the trip, and I felt incredibly welcome from the moment I boarded the bus.★

Guest user2025-11-23
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! 🤤★
