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.★

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: Nara Park + Uji 1-day tour, feed adorable deer, taste matcha, admire maple leaves
Guest User2025-08-31
The tour Uju + Nara tour was spectacular with few downsides. The guide Etta was super kind and funny. She was super friendly and helpful. The drive to Nara and Uji was great and smooth. The time spent in Nara was not enough, whereas the time spent in Uji was to much. The tour is a bit self guided, but I like that because it gives me free to explore.★

Even though I went alone, he took good care of me and explained hard to every tourist spot I visited. ㅎㅎ I heard that tolls and parking fees in Japan are really expensive.. Thinking about that, I think it's really cost-effective to go to Nara and Kyoto. Thanks to you, I think it's a more fun trip. Thank you ㅎㅎㅎ
