京都バスツアー：嵯峨野鉄道＆保津川遊覧

Great experience, the train ride was really good (around 20 minutes journey) and the river boat was fantastic (about 2 hours) - although we did get rather wet (hot day so no issues!). The boatmen were very entertaining and we saw some great scenery. A really well organised trip, plenty of free time for exploring and we were well looked after, would definitely recommend.

Worth doing! Just know... this appears MAINLY for Japanese tourists. Our main issue was finding the correct location for checking in at the Kyoto train station. Went to main bus ticket place at that was wrong and the people were not interested in being helpful. Once we got to the RIGHT bus terminal the woman was SO SWEET and new I was panicked and helped us to the right bus. The cute little romantic train was sweet - a nice surprise (thank goodness for the beautiful day) - the men on the platform were full of fun and smiles, but the photographers kind of ruined the first part of the experience. The boat ride was beautiful and the guides funny (but we felt bad at how hard they were working constantly - def used to American rafts with oars). We did NOT understand however that we were going to be on our own for over 2 hours at a town we knew nothing about. We made the best of it (and it was beautiful of course) - but that was part of the trip we weren't anticipating. Also, the equipment my son was given to listen to the English recording on the bus didn't work. Mine did, so we shared best we could. The woman holding the flag to keep us in a group was very smiley and we felt looked after.

Great trip overall! Although the boat ride was canceled due to weather conditions, the experience was still very enjoyable. The bamboo forest was beautiful, and seeing the monkeys was especially fun. Be sure to wear good shoes, since the hike to the top is on a dirt trail.

Excellent tour although very disappointed there was no English speaking guide as mentioned in the advertising. The guys rowing the raft were brilliant and worked so hard on a hot day.

Absolutely well worth the effort, very well organised. Train trip and boat trip were both entertaining. The 3 man crew on the boat were so entertaining and passionate about there jobs There was plenty of time (2hours) to have lunch and visit the town before the bus ride back Definitely worth recommending

The boat and train ride were excellent however the map to return to the bus meeting point after the bamboo forest was very vague and spend some time navigating back, hence could not fully enjoy the attractions of the area.

Great day trip and accommodating for children. The weather wasn't good on our day so The riverboat was cancelled, this was managed very well with refund for portion of the days experiences. Lots of time explore local towns and eat lunch

A fun trip - be prepared to be splashed if you sit at the edge seats. Make sure you get the tour with English translation if you dont know Japanese

Very scenic. The boat ride was long. Shoe got soaked with water sitting on the left side. Good experience!

The bus tour was delightful and I was presented with a small ‘receiver’ that gave me the sightseeing tour in English. The train ride was through the beautiful landscape. The 3 boatmen took down the Hozugawa river and mad it fun going through the rapids area.
