Reviews: A day trip to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Arashiyama, Japan.
Guest User2025-09-25
The day trip to Kyoto and Nara was a fantastic experience. The itinerary was well-organized, covering must-see attractions like Arashiyama, the train, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the bamboo grove. We allowed ample time to admire the scenery and take photos at each stop without feeling rushed. The guide was very professional and knowledgeable, providing clear explanations. His enthusiasm was a real plus for the trip.★

Guest User2026-01-12
The ‘Gumun-gil’ tour guide guided us! He was so kind and gave us great guidance. He gave us plenty of time to explore, so we didn’t feel rushed at all. ㅎㅎ And at the end of the tour, he recommended many good restaurants, and when I didn’t know the way, he even took me to the restaurant. It was so warm and I was grateful. 🙇🏻♀️★

Guest User2025-08-12
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!★

Reviews: Osaka Kyoto Arashiyama + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Taisha day tour
Guest User2025-12-15
No doubt, this was a really good day trip. Beautiful sights and memorable experiences for everyone. The scenery, landscape, even wildlife were unique, and the shops for food and trinkets were excellent. Our guide Eric was a legend, truly fun, organized, engaging and an excellent teacher, too. The historical and cultural background context was very helpful. We also greatly appreciated his jokes, brilliantly thrown while keeping us organized, and likewise Joe, also from Easy Go, providing extra guidance and laughter. Highly recommended trip and organizers!
