This is the trip to take if you have limited time in the Kyoto area. Kyoto in the morning, a buffet lunch, and Nara in the afternoon. Highly recommended.

This was a good way to see some of the highlights of Japan's cultural capital and its neighbour Nara. Particularly impressive was the Golden Pavilion.

Had a lovely time learning and seeing the beautiful sites of Kyoto and Nara my favourite part had to be Todaji temple with the numerous deer walking around outside the temple is a site to behold, The tour guide had really good english and I learned a lot on the trip.

Unfortunately we had a rainy day :, But we try to make the best of the day. The place were awesome, yet I felt we didn't have time to see everything well. We were rushing the whole time! Buffet was ok. Psycho yes that was her name and Yuki were awesome and fun.

Our tour guide in the morning was a bit boring.. it left like a field trip where you really get much information unless your standing beside the tour guide, plus she wasn't that good either. Lunch buffet was not bad especially for the cost of the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed !the afternoon trip to Nara. Our tour guide had such an extensive experience. He was able to make jokes and had vast knowledge in different cultures and made every tourist feel special. He started to teach reading basic japanese like identifying signages for washrooms. He was very entertaining and when it got to the actual tour, he had a lot of insights. Overall experience was really memorable especially the deer feeding

My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed our day tour around Kyoto and Nara. We visited a number of significant historical sites in the area where our guides did a wonderful job of informing us of their stories. My brother is confined to a wheelchair, and all staff were very helpful throughout the day, making sure we were able to access as many areas as possible. Only the Shinto Shrine at Nara defeated us with it's many steps. The provided lunch was basic, but filling. I would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to gain the most from a one day visit to the area.

A long day with an early start but worth it.
Review by: Melissa M, April 2018
This was a really good day tour of the main sights of Kyoto. You get to skip the lines and are transported easily to the sights that are far from Kyotos Centre. We did Nara in the same day which we preferred so that we have more free days and it was very pleasant and the guide was amazing!

To optimize the places we could see in the Kyoto area we decided on a day tour. We'd used Viator in another country and had a good experience, and this one was no exception. Good guides with very acceptable English and knowledge. We will use them again under the same circumstances. Lunch was a bit unorganized and typical tour food, but we didn't leave hungry. Riding on the comfortable bus was more efficient than navigating the trains and city buses on our own. Viator delivered as promised.

The sights were interesting, but the tour went way too fast. There was just enough time to walk past everything, with a quick look. A self-tour would be a little less informative, but give you the time to appreciate everything at your own pace.

Great guides and itinerary. We took this tour at the end of December when several sites were closed. We were aware of this and the alternative sites were great.

It is a very good option for a quick visit to Kyoto and Nara. Sadly, my trip was on a festive day so I could't get inside in some temples. However it was very nice.
Review by: Laura H, February 2018
This tour covered so much, in terms of content and variety. Our guides were fantastic and very helpful. I loved learning the history of the many temples we visited. My favourite place however was Nara, as we got to observe and feed deer, which was a unique experience.
