The tour is actually split in two. All sites were just woinderful. The afternoon guide, Mitch, one of the best guides ever. Nice, corteous, very knowledgeable, with one of best English spoken in all Japan. A must do!

This was a great tour with a nice size of group not too large or small. The tour lady speaks fluently english and has a great knowledge of Japan history. She does not miss a thing and kept us moving efficiently the schedules. Lunch was good and well organized with plenty of time enjoy and relax. We enjoyed the full day as expected., Excellent.

Yu-me was a great guide. Lunch was nice. The 1 and 3/4 hour lunch break was a waste of time. Lunch was finished in 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. This meant that people were sitting in the hotel lobby chairs falling asleep or walking to an overpriced souvenir shop, to fill in our time.

This tour would be a 5 star if the group size was smaller so you could hear the guide at all times. I suggest reading before the trip on each temple, so that if you aren't able to hear the guide you already know part of the history and you can wander off on your own and meet the tour back at the coach.

The highlights of this tour included the Golden Pavilion and its gardens, and the Sanju-Sangendo Hall and its very impressive1001 wooden statues. The lowlight was lunch. It was poorly organised by the restaurant and the quality of food was poor, especially compared with that arranged for our Nikko National Park Tour from Tokyo a couple of days earlier.

Excellent. Interesting and well-organised. Our guide was top-notch and answered questions easily. Travellers should be aware of the variations due to certain locations closing on certain days and seasons though.

I was in Kyoto for a business trip so only had very limited time for sightseeing. This tour was absolutely perfect for me and the whole day was extremely well organised from start to finish.
We had different tour guides in the morning and afternoon and both were very informative and entertaining.
The pace was just right for me, giving me the opportunity to pack a lot into the day but without feeling too rushed.

Doing what: Kyoto Afternoon Tour - Heian Shrine, Sanjusangendo, Kiyomizu Temple
Again, a wonderful guide in Izumi. Very informative about the city of Kyoto and Japanese culture. Excellent sites to visit. Was particularly in awe of the one which no photographs were allowed at, ironically, Sanjusangendo. Definately a must see.

Our guide made the day super enjoyable.
It was well planned, and everything we saw was just beautiful. Effortless and easy way to see lots of Kyoto in one day.

Tour was wonderful, very interesting, very informative, Tour Guide was very good......just didn't like the lunch arrangements...felt so confined, so squashed...so "Touristy"..meal wasn't enjoyable at all. The afternoon tour was also very interesting and informative..not sure if we didn't read brochure properly, but, wasn't aware that we were not being taken back to original bus terminal where we joined the tour. But, we had a nice walk to our hotel, which wasn't all that "that far" !!
