Wonderful Tour. Our Guide was so efficient, polite and thoughtful. The language differences made it a bit difficult, but our guide was so kind and helpful that the language barrier evaporated and the overall wonderful experience he provided will remain forever. Highly recommended.
Great tour with our family of 8. Driver was on time and very friendly. July was very hot! 95 degrees.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you and your family had a great time on the tour. It's wonderful to hear your driver was punctual and friendly. July can certainly be very hot in Japan, so we appreciate you braving the summer weather. We hope to welcome you and your family again on another adventure!
The experience was fine it was short tour. The temple with the cable car was really awesome. The views are incredible along with the iconic temple. Lots of stars so be warned.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the temple and the cable car ride! We also appreciate you mentioning the stairs, as that's helpful information for future visitors to know before they go. We hope you had a wonderful time overall and would love to welcome you again on another tour!
