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

The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.★

Reviews: Kyoto Amanohashidate + Ine Funaya 1-Day Tour: Optional Amanohashidate Chairlift and Monorail + Ine Bay Cruise
Guest User2026-05-03
The overall experience of this tour was great. Hawk feeling to sight seeing to village walk. It's simply beautiful. Hope each destination can be longer but understand it's time constraints as the journey from Osaka to there is about 3hrs journey. Jay, our tourguide provided us many insights and knowledge of the Amanohashidate and Ine area. His sense of humour is another level which we really enjoy during this trip. I would recommend Jay again because he is knowledge and nice! :)★

Reviews: Amanohashidate Sandbar & Ine Funaya Village Tour with Optional Sea Cruise
Guest User2026-05-03
I was extremely satisfied with this day trip to Taman Chapel! 👍 From the moment I booked online, the service was excellent. Any questions or requests we had were promptly answered and resolved. In the final stage, the night before departure, our guide, Cui Haihua, contacted us to confirm the meeting point and activity schedule for the next day. What touched us four elderly people the most was that she arranged suitable bus seats for us, complete strangers, taking care of our physical condition. Throughout the day trip, Haihua adhered to the original plan, ensuring every activity was carried out flawlessly. The itinerary was explained in detail, allowing guests to clearly understand the activities. In short, I have been quite satisfied with every overseas day trip I've participated in through Ctrip over the years, and I will continue to follow and choose their services.★

Guest User2026-04-21
I was very satisfied with this trip to Katsuo-ji Temple! March and April are the perfect time for spring, with beautiful scenery. The itinerary was well-planned and efficient, without being rushed. The tour guide was professional and enthusiastic, providing detailed explanations that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Katsuo-ji Temple. Overall, the experience was relaxed and enjoyable.
