Definitely recommended! The tour was fun and it took us the most fascinating places in Kyoto. Kyoto is indeed have a lot of beautiful and historical things to offer. I had so much fun and learned a lot fo things about Kyoto although i have to say that one day tour is somehow isn't enough to explore Kyoto.

The sights and scenes of Kyoto are without a doubt some of the most awe inspiring in Asia or indeed the world. Would recommend the whirlwind tour only if you have super limited time to be here. We felt rushed and crushed by the swarms of humanity as it was cherry blossom time. The lunch was a bit less than average. Come on, in the land of excellent fresh food, they found a way to have chicken nuggets on the menu! OK, maybe it was for kids...so perhaps give them a break. However, if you have the chance to roam on your own, would highly recommend it or do two 1/2 tours and break it up.

The first part of the tour was amazing. The tour company said on the day I went that there would be five busloads of people on the morning tour. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to see anything. However, that turned out not to be an issue. The Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, and the Kyoto Imperial Castle were all great to see. The tour guide on the am part was excellent in explaining things and did a great job of moving a lot of people through some very crowded attractions.

Really good experience. Can't fault it.

This full day tour was really very good. We could never have visited all of the sites that we saw in the same time on our own. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and her English was good. We were fortunate enough to have quite a small group around 20 as during busier seasons, the groups are much larger. It would have been helpful to have known beforehand that we'd have lunch at the Kyoto Handicraft Centre near Heian Shrine because then we wouldn't have made the effort to go there on an earlier date during our stay in Kyoto. We would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who has limite time in Kyoto.

Fabulous day with wonderful sights seen. Only down side was the high number of tourists at these sights but this didn't spoil the day. Mike.

Fantastic tour! Our guide was quite funny and very enjoyable to spend the day with. _br/_ The castles and temples were absolutely gorgeous. No way could have seen all this on my own in one day. Lunch was way too long (almost 2 hrs)but other than that this tour was fantastic. Must do if in Kyoto!!

I had a great time seeing all the temples, and the castle. There was no way I would have been able to see them all on my own plus they got us in faster than if you went on a personal tour. I liked having lunch and shopping at the local arts and crafts place near the lunch place. The guides were very knowledgeable and gave us options on the last tour if we didn't want to climb all the stairs. Finding the Travel agency where it was starting was a bit difficult.

Review by: monicelau199, December 2017
we did 't go to the Nijo castle and the imperial palace as described in the itinerary._br/_ Besides we have to wandering for one hour in a handcrafted shop before we cab have lunch._br/_ Lunch was buffet , the quality was beyond expectation._br/_ The morning guide was wonderful._br/_ The afternoon guide was too tired and we did not get much information about the place we went._br/_ So the next day we decided to go on our own .

It was a great tour for both of us. I personally had been to Kyoto several times before and so I already knew some of the sight-seeing places. But I got a lot of interesting new information, and I could fully enjoy it. For my partner on the other hand it was all new, a discovery and extremely exciting. Actually for him it was a very good start getting to know Japanese culture.

It was a great day tour and you get to see so many sites in a short period. Both guides were very knowledgeable and provided an excellent service. I would recommend and felt it was good value for money.
Review by: Edmond, November 2017
It is a very comprehensive tour of Kyoto temples, castles and palaces. Very good for those with limited time to spend and very strong legs. That is because you will need to do a lot of fast walking from place to place. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and very strict in following the schedule, which has its positive and negative points. For those who love photography, you'll need more time to compose your pictures, so walk ahead of you tour guide instead of following behind. Overall it is a very good introductory tour of the major architecture of Kyoto. Beautiful in autumn!
