It's a good tour, allows you to see a lot of places in Kyoto in 1 day.

Kyoto has a lot of very interesting and beautiful places to see. This full day tour may not cover all of them but it includes most of the must-see places. Lunch is included which is just ok. Our tour guide for the afternoon tour, Yuki, was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. My only complaint is that we were all in a rush especially the morning tour, and it seemed that we didn't have enough time to take in the beauty of the places we've been to. One family who was part of our tour group was left behind in the Golden Pavilion and had to take the taxi to rejoin the group in the Imperial Palace. The pacing of the afternoon tour was better, we even had time to buy some souvenirs in the shops near the Kyomizu Temple.

If you want a quick view of the major sites in Kyoto, this tour is great. However, it is a bit rush.

Enjoyed the tour. The Imperial Palace was a bit of a bust as we were not allowed into any buildings. I'd leave it off and extend the time at other sites that were very interesting. This way the guides would not be so rushed and would be able to wait for all members of the group before beginning to speak.
Would have liked assigned seats on the bus.
Guide spoke very good English

Absolutely perfect if you only have a short time in Kyoto; I just had one full day and this tour took me to six places, all of them fantastic and worth seeing. It felt like I'd managed to see a decent amount of Kyoto even though I just stopped over there. The lunch was fantastic too!

Tour was not so good. From the first destination, we arrived back to the bus 5-10 minutes late in which the bus left without us. Not understanding how to speak Japanese it was hard for us to get to the next location. By the time we figured out where to go we had missed seeing one of the main attractions. The food for lunch was also horrible. Didn't really eat much at all to be honest from there besides ice-cream because that seemed like the safest choice. Wouldn't recommend this tour as I didn't have a great experience at all.

Great tour especially especially if you are only visiting Kyoto for a short while. This covers all the major attraction place and saves you time getting to one place and another. The only downside is the lunch time block is too long (almost 2 hours).

Very well organized tour. I was taken care of from pick up to drop off. The time spent in each of the 6 locations was long enough to enjoy them. Both of the tour guides were enthusiastic, and very entertaining to listen. Would do it again anytime...

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Well organised, guide spoke clear fluent english and provided a great range of information about each place and we spent enough time at each location. Fantastic value for money!

Great tour was able to see all the sites with time in the evening to go to Gion corner. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. I recommend this tour to anyone wishing to get away for the just a weekend and see Kyoto. Had a wonderful time!!!

The tour was well organized and the tour guide shared with us her knowledge of the places we were visiting. If there was anything to complain about, it's the lack of time but that was provided and simply mulling about is not a good idea as we'll miss the bus. Was it worth it? Yes, the value was worth it and I would recommend the full day understanding Kyoto's culture.

Both tour guides gave interesting commentary both on the bus and on location, the provided buffet lunch was excellent and the tour coverage was good. It was also good value

It was generally good but 2 hours wasted at lunch was way too long and cut out the heart of the day.
