If you only have one day to get to Kyoto from Tokyo, this is a great way to go. Unfortunately, Kyoto really needs more than the half day you get there.

Very well organized. If you only have one day to see Kyoto from Tokyo, I highly recommend this trip.

This was our first day in Japan and we could not have been more pleased with the tour we took with viator. It was extremely well organized, the tour guide was lovely and the selected sites were most impressive. My only less than positive comment would be about the buffet lunch served at the hotel before the tour started. It was fine, but it wasn't exactly a highlight of our trip.

Superb guide excellent English, lots of information, the train was amazing, lunch could have been shorter, was very good but we could have seen another sight. Cherry blossoms were amazing!! So much to see in Kyoto!

We chose this tour as we had just one day to see Kyoto and we were delighted with our choice. The pick-up and transfer to the train were on time and so well organized, the views of Mt Fuji from the train were spectacular. On arriving in Kyoto we were met by a guide and taken for a fantastic lunch at the hotel right across the road from the station. The tour itself was wonderful, although a bit rushed due to the short time available, but we saw the highlights and loved it all. The guide was excellent. All in all we highly recommend this tour for anyone short on time - definitely worth doing despite the high price.

I thought every aspect of the day was excellent! I just wish I had planned for more time in Kyoto, like several days!

We loved the train ride in first class. Very relaxing and a treat. Lunch buffet was wonderful. Only advice - don't book the trip for the hottest and most humid week of the year in August which made it hard to concentrate on the beautiful sights. Guide was very nice and informative as we drove around the city.

A fantastic trip. All English-speaking staff who guided us during the tour were friendly and helpful. Since our tour lasted just one day (exactly, 12 hours including over four hours traveling on the bullet train between Tokyo and Kyoto), we could have brief visits to three temples.

Very good and personal service. Well organized and everything on time. Very interesting places for visiting, good food. The afternoon trip does not go to the golden pavilion. Would be useful to know which objects will be visited beforehand, so that the expectations can be adjusted. Thanks - did not expect that level of service for one person. The journey on the train absolutely wonderful, but the seet could have been on the Mount Fuji site. The preferences for the trip could include this option.

For a short Yokyo stay (we were 2 days) a great way to absorb variety. Hotel midday meal was oustanding!.

Excellent day out. The three of us were well looked after at every stage of the tour, could not praise the tour guides enough and would like to arrange further tours in this region in the future.
