Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Classic Day Tour with Friendly Deer
Guest User2026-02-08
I took my first independent trip to Osaka and Kyoto on a day tour with guide Seokbong Oh. It was my first independent trip, so I was a bit nervous, but the moment I met guide Seokbong Oh, all my nerves melted away. He was so friendly and thorough with his explanations that I couldn't sleep. He was so engaging and funny that I laughed and had a great time. I also wanted to express my gratitude to our driver for his safe driving. If you meet guide Seokbong Oh during your Osaka trip, you've won the lottery. ^^

I felt this was a truly heartwarming trip to Kyoto! From the magnificent golden splendor of Kinkaku-ji to the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, every stop was breathtaking and thought-provoking. The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.

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! 🤤
