Reviews: Japan Discovery Tour: Lake Biwa , Shirahige Jinja,Observation Deck, Mangetsu-ji Temple, Ukimidō
Guest User2025-10-11
Thanks to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting, who was so nice when we brought our baby with us. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us carry the stroller.
You can choose your own way to explore each attraction during the itinerary. We chose a leisurely pace with our baby, and the rides between attractions were short. My daughter loved the Baumkuchen factory, a place everyone doesn't see often. We spent quite a while there, and it was great for taking photos.
Traveling with a tour group was much more convenient and cheaper than taking our own transportation!★

The tour guide contacted very promptly, the route of the itinerary was reasonable, the choice of attractions was also very representative, very classic, and there was a suitable time to play after the attractions. It is a very nice choice for not familiar with the traffic route and not wanting to bother to do the strategy. Very recommended!★

Guest User2025-05-08
Forgot to evaluate! The tour guide Dai guide Frederick is very good, Chinese, Japanese, English and three languages are proficient, all the way to lively atmosphere and explain historical stories. All tourists are very warm and friendly. At the end of the trip, he asked him what was delicious and fun and he was very enthusiastic to tell us. I recommend everyone to set the itinerary if you want the Nara Kyoto Busan line!★

Reviews: one-day tour of Kiyomizu Temple in Nara, Kyoto, Japan [9-person small group optional|Hotel pickup|Chinese and English driver guide
Guest User2025-08-30
The time was too short. We didn't arrive back in Osaka at the designated time (6:30 PM) as part of the program, and the driver and guide had already returned to Osaka at 5 PM! It was such a rush. We arrived at Kiyomizu-dera Temple at 12:35 PM and had to board the bus back to Osaka at 3:35 PM. We went to Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, then to Gion, leaving us no time to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple (3 hours with meals included). We also visited nearby areas, leaving us no time to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple. A half-hour extra would have been perfect.
