Tour was just the right length at eight hours. Lunch was fabulous!

This is a very good trip, it covers most of the key attractions. Timing allocated for each attraction is just nice for us whose interest is not on shopping. It's just enough to see and take photos of the attractions, which suited us perfectly.

A great tour for those with limited time. Get to the front of the group though as guide starts talking with out waiting for all to be off the bus!

There were 2 separate tours. Woman in the morning was boring and lethargic and couldn't wait to get rid of us. Afternoon woman was just the opposite - interesting, funny, informative, great.

This tour was pretty good. The first half of the tour was very crowded. We had to stray away from our tour group to get decent pictures. The afternoon tour was great. The sights are wonderful. The buffet was good. My group consisted of picky eaters, and we all enjoyed the food. They had something for everyone. Kyoto is a big city, instead of wandering around it by yourself trying to understand the bus system, I would recommend this tour.

The tour was great and fitted so much into a short time. The guides spoke well with loads of knowledge. I found it a little long in some spots, and the kids found it too big a day, but really enjoyable all the same. The food was great, and we wished we had more time at the last stop.

Ideal for anybody with a limited time in Kyoto. It would be impossible to cover all these visits without such an organization.

Although rushed it went quite well. The full day was worth it and it gave us a good overview of key sights. The guides were good.

Did not spend as long time at the temples as I would have liked, but then again I would never have been able to cover all of them in one day using public transport, so I think it was definitely worth doing. The lunch was good. I am usually picky about food. The handicraft center is not as bad as it sounds and has quite OK prices when it comes to souvenirs. I definitely recommend it.

The morning tour was superb and the morning guide excellent. We would have appreciated more historical information in the afternoon and less little snippets about kimonos. The Handicraft Centre for lunch was a treasure trove for Japanese goods.

I have booked many tours through Viator. All have been great. The only problem we had with this one was that the tour guides did not speak English to an acceptable level. Many of us said the same thing. The tours are great, but they have to fix this problem.
