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 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!★

I really enjoyed this day tour. It’s such a stress free activity since you have a guide who will bring you to beautiful places and sceneries. Our guide was Harry and he did an awesome job. We got to see so many places that me and my family ould not have gone too. ai would recommend doing this tour and requesting Harry as your guide.
