Reviews: [Cherry Blossom Season] Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Anonymous user2026-03-17
A big thumbs up to Uncle Big Head on WeChat on February 24th! He provided clear information, location, and photos in advance, and was very enthusiastic and meticulous in replying to questions and offering helpful reminders. His driving was very smooth and safe, and the itinerary and arrangement of the three attractions were well-planned. His descriptions of the attractions and restaurants were concise. All three attractions are traditional and representative, rich in local culture and history. Uncle Big Head deserves high praise for his itinerary planning.★

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.★

Reviews: [Cherry Blossom Season] One-Day Tour of Ancient Temples in Kyoto, Japan + Nara Park with Adorable Deer + Fushimi Inari Shrine

I traveled with Guide Oh Seok-bong. We are a family of four, and our child needed to use the restroom, so we had to get off midway. Thank you for contacting the guide to ensure we didn't get lost and could follow along. You shared tips on how to enjoy Osaka during the bus journey, which were informative and fun. I highly recommend this tour.★

Reviews: Kyoto in One Day: Amanohashidate, Ine Funaya & Miyama Thatched Village
_TIGB******re0ax2026-04-13
Our guide Liu San is fantastic. He can speak English, Mandarin and Japanese fluently. He can explain the history of the check point, must-do or must-try and matter to be careful information regarding of each check point. For example, beaware with the black kite eagle while feeding the seagulls. In addition, Liu San is very organized as he communicated with us before the trip via WhatsApp and messaged us during the trip regarding the gathering time at each check point and itinerary and information of the check point. We enjoyed the day out a lot.★
