We had a great trip in Kyoto! It would be very hard to get all of what we did in one day on your own. This was very efficient. The right amount of time in every location. Lots of walking! Great with teens. Very comfortable.

Self guided not what we paid for.
Unfortunately with two of our stops on this tour it was more a guide yourself . Not what I paid for. Was taken to the deer park & then given instructions on how to find the Toda-ji Temple . Eventually found it.
Second time was trying to find the Bamboo Forest. We were given rather confusing directions from a street corner & unfortunately we never found the proper forest only the edge of it ( I think).
Eric seemed nice but very hard to understand his English.
Compared to our tour in Hiroshima this tour failed to impress.

Best of Kyoto & Nara in One Day!
This tour was the highlight of my trip! It’s the perfect way to see all the iconic spots in Kyoto and Nara efficiently.
・Amazing Guide: KOJI-san was so energetic and fun—he kept everyone smiling the whole day!
・Perfect Pace: I loved that we had enough free time at each stop to explore and shop at our own pace. It never felt rushed.
・Unique Experience: Even with the crowds, this tour offered a fresh and interesting perspective on Japan’s beauty.
A must-do if you want a fun, stress-free, and fulfilling day. Thanks for the memories, KOJI!

This was the worst...
This was the worst excursion I have ever taken. Our tour guide gave us very little information about the history and culture of Japan, that is why I book excursions. For me the worst part was that he would walk us to activity, many times with confusing turns in the path and would leave us , completely on our own to explore and make it back to the bus. On three occasions today, I found myself lost and stressed that I wouldn’t make it back in time. I have never booked an excursion where you’re expected to know what to do and where to go without guidance. This was a definite zero for me

One day Osaka-Kyoto bus tour - somewhat can be improved upon
Good but there’s room for improvement. Example the itinerary should have contingency plans for alteration when facing lousy weather; the waiting /meeting spots were all unsheltered, and last stop in Kyoto (after the shrine) guests who did not wish to continue the attraction-visit due to the rain and bad traffic, could not wait in the bus nor in any comfortable sheltered cafes. We were put in a no choice spot with no eatery or seats for an hour plus. Other than the rigid program/schedule which Eric our guide closely adhered to, Eric was knowledgeable with the history of Japan, he was jovial and made the bus ride less boring. Thumbs up to him.
