Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Up Close Maiko Experience

Reviewed by: Sami

I signed up for this package thinking this tour was in English. It was in Japanese. Food was OK. Average food that you would expect from tours. Nothing amazing, but if you never had Kyoto dish this is a good experience for you. Dinner was near Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), not in Gion. Another detail that I had missed. Though it was impressive to see some trees as old as 500 years old in the Jaoanese garden where we had dinner, the garden itself was not so enjoyable. Night view of the Kyoto is lame and not sure if it was worth driving all the way across town for that. Recommended for Maiko experience only.

Nishiki Market Walking Tour & Sake Tasting with Maki Sushi Roll Making

Nice tour and fun making sushi

Reviewed by: GOTM

It's a good tour to get to know the central area of Kyoto.
Our guide did a good job guiding us through the market to the Sake tasting and then the Sushi making.

We did the afternoon tour and it can be crowded in the Nishiki market at that time.
We went back on a morning and it's much nicer then.

The highlight of the tour was the Sushi making.
2 lovely ladies explained and taught us how to make sushi.
After making the sushi we had a nice meal.

Kyoto & Nara 1-Day Bus Tour from Tokyo with Nijo Castle & Nara Park

Reviewed by: Meng-Michelle

It was a fantastic experience for my family including our 10-year old daughter. We had only limited time in Kyoto area so we wanted to get the best of Kyoto. We were certainly did the right thing by choosing this tour. The morning was in Kyoto and afternoon in Nara. We got to see beautiful historical sites including Nijo Castle, Imperial Palace, the Deer Park... but the part we loved the most was our afternoon guide, who's a lovely lady from Osaka area. She not only provided information about the places we visited but only added a lot of rich content about Japanese history and culture. She made our experience so enjoyable! She brought some beautiful Japanese music to play on our way back to Kyoto from Nara while we rest and trying to take in all the impression we had had during the intensive 10 hour visit of two of the oldest cities in Japan. Just before reaching the final stop, she performed a Japanese song for us which left a very sweet memory in our hearts. It's shame that I didn't remember her name, but her sweet voice and warm smile will be with me for a long time. Thank you our lovely tour guide-san!!

貸切観光タクシー 外国人ゲスト歓迎！英語堪能なドライバーと京都名所を巡る自由観光コース＜3時間～／1-9名／京都市内送迎可＞by ヤサカ観光

効率の良い観光に最適です

Reviewed by: mike-hiro

南アからの訪問者ご夫婦を案内するのに使わせて頂きました。６時間の短時間で効率良く観光するにはとても最適です。運転手さんが英語を話せるのもGoodです。お客さんと運転手さんの間で直接会話が弾み、個人的な理解も深まってお客さん自身も楽しみが増えたと思います。
観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
車も乗り心地が良く十分コストに見合うものだと思います。次の機会も利用させて頂きたいと思っています。

Reviewed by: lauri

I loved the places we went to see and the food was absolutely wonderful! The one BIG thing I was disappointed in, which ruined the tour for me, was that I could not understand our guide! She was supposed to be english speaking, but her accent was too heavy and she spoke very fast. She was a nice lady, but unless I got very close to her to watch her lips as she spoke, I couldn't understand most of what she said. Please get guides that speak clearly!

レンタサイクルサービス（損害保険付）市内緊急サポートサービス完備 雨天時キャンセル料無料＜銀輪／MTB／京都駅＞

京都リピータなら自転車観光もおすすめです

Reviewed by: ブラーボ

全行程５時間。道路も空いているかな、と思い日曜日に利用しました。借りる場所が京都駅からすぐ近く、ということもあり、戻ってくる際もとても安心して利用できました。これはポイント高かったです。また、なにより、かなり自転車がちゃんと整備されていて、ブレーキやタイヤから感じる安心感がありました。ホテルが貸してくれる、ママチャリとはぜんぜん違います。笑

京都は碁盤の目といわれますが、まさにその通りで、だいたいの方向がわかれば、電車よりもずっと効率よくまわることができたように思いました。特に東山地区は見所が多い割には電車の便がよくないため、結局歩き回って疲れる、というパターンなので、とても得した気分でした。

コースは、ほぼ東西南北を時計まわりに、いきたいところに効率よくいけました。坂道も少なく、また大きな通りのちょっと脇道には車通りの少ない道もあるので、思っていたよりも安全に走行できたのもよかったです。坂といえるような坂は東山あたりで少しあったぐらいでしょうか。なによりも、ガイドブックにのっていない「普段の京都」をゆっくり楽しみながらまわれて、とても有意義な時間をすごせました。ローカルの目線で街をみれたのもよかった。

はじめての京都だと、自転車を借りて自分であちこちまわるのはちょっと厳しいかもしれません。最初はやはり定番のバス観光やちょっとだけぜいたくをしてチャータータクシーがずっと便利で安心しょう。でもリピータの方なら、あそこをもう一度、もうちょっとゆっくりみたかった、という方には、この自転車レンタルはとても価値高いと思います。

まわったコース：計５時間（うち３０分ランチタイム）
１、京都駅から北上：四条（室町通り沿い）、二条城、一条戻橋、上賀茂（賀茂別雷）神社へ。
２、上賀茂神社から南東へ：北山駅、下鴨（賀茂御祖）神社へ。
３、下鴨神社から東山へ：京都大学、銀閣寺、哲学の道、南禅寺へ。
４、南禅寺から京都駅まで：平安神宮、知恩院、円山公園、祇園（ランチ）、鴨川を渡り、東本願寺を経て、京都駅へ。

アーバンホテル京都でのチェックインした後、ドライバーさんがホテルのロビーで私たちを待っていた。第一印象では、彼は英語を上手に話せるので、すぐにコミュニケーションが問題ないと確信した。また、非常に丁寧かつ礼儀だった。そして乗った車も非常に広々とした快適です。
Our first destination was to the Kinkaku-ji Temple.Our knowledgeable guide was very informative all along the way, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of this historical site. The experience at Kinkaku-ji Temple truly is a fine example of human architecture and nature co-existing in harmony.
Our next destination was to be the Bamboo Walk where famous parts of the movie scene–Memoirs of a Geisha were taken.Next,we headed towards Tenryuji Tsukurimichi-cho.
Our final stop of the day was to be Gion.After an informative introduction by our driver,we bade him goodbye and was left to enjoy the rest of the evening walking the area of Gion.We will definitely would like to come back to Kyoto again for our next trip to Japan,which has left us an everlasting impression of beauty, cleanliness and impeccable standards of service!

Cycling around the various shrines and temples in Kyoto, we go to learn many interesting facts about the history and traditions associated with them. Our guide Ayumi also pointed out many other points of interest around town, such as the best place to buy a vintage kimono. And she was kind enough to join us for lunch afterwards and help us order in Japanese :)

Kyoto 1-Day Bus Tour to Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkakuji & Nijo Castle

Reviewed by: Ada

The guide in the morning was very professional and I really enjoyed the morning tour. However, in the afternoon I was given a seat at the back of the bus. Due to the engine noise at the back of the bus, and the noise of a kid sitting at the back, it was impossible to listen to the soft voice of the tour guide. I could not even hear the place we were going to visit. I knew the other travellers at the back had the same bad experience as I could see a couple requested to be changed to seats in the front and other guys also said they could not hear a word. Although I expressed my concern to the tour guide, I did not find any improvement. For the whole afternoon trip, I could not hear most of the thing the tour guide said on the bus. It was very frustrated and disappointed. It is a big bus. I hope you will consider improving the microphone and sound system on the bus and also advise the tour guide to speak louder and slower, so everyone on the bus can hear the useful information provided by the tour guide. I would also like you to point out to your clients that if they bring small children on the bus, they should be considerated to be quiet.

If you want to sit back and leave the driving (and navigating Japan) to someone else, then this is the tour for you. I loved the fact that lunch was included in the full day option.

My daughter and I were very tired after two weeks of walking every day and taking multiple trains to our sightseeing destinations; the ease of the bus taking us door to door, and our (very wonderful) tour guide explaining everything we might not have learned any other way was very good for us.

I also appreciated the efficiency of seeing so much all in one day. I feel confident that we got to view some of the major sights of Kyoto. I feel like we made the most of our last day in Kyoto.

The guide KC (Casey?) was hilarious. We really appreciated his happy, outgoing personality. It kept the tour light and fun, even though the day get rather long toward the end of the trip.

I highly recommend this tour. The price was reasonable for the amount of sights and information we received. Sugoi! (excellent)

Kyoto 1-Day Bus Tour to Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkakuji & Nijo Castle

Classical & Wonderful

Reviewed by: Kyoto Beginner

This tour is a good start for someone like me; first time in Kyoto and clueless but curious!
As one of your classical bus tour, it goes to those major sites that can’t be missed! Plus, it gave me ideas on what to do and where to go in Kyoto for the rest of my trip.
The sweet lady that was my guide was wonderful at picking up the points on where to look. My personal favorite, was the Sanjusangen-do visited in the afternoon. It was first a little scary to have over a 1000 statues looking at you, but at the artistic talent taken to create the life-like statues of the Japanese idols is a personal must see!
Also the Kyoto Handicraft Center visited during lunch had some pretty cool stuff! Kimonos, artwork, jewelry, and even some anime goods. A great place to get an idea for what to buy for an “omiyage”!
Fun and overall interesting, after this trip, I can see why my friends said Kyoto is rich in culture.

The tour was interesting.. but the only lacking are the details. We didn't know that lunch is provided for a one day tour. As we are a muslim couple, it was too late for us to change our menu to a non-pork menu. So we didn't get to eat much...

We also wish that the tour guide would stick together, or announce where he/she will be as there was one part of the tour, we seemed a bit lost, especially at a crowded Kinkakuji Temple.

Kyoto Backstreet Biking Tour with English Guide

Definitely worth it!!

Reviewed by: Need 4 Speed

The tour teaches that the city of Kyoto is truly filled with history!

Far better than taking the bus or a train! The streets of Kyoto are filled with experiences full of scents and sounds that can only be experienced through a bike ride.

You really get a sense of how tall the Torii gate of Heian Shrine are when your ride right up to it!

Plus my guide was excellent!! Pacing me so that I was never bored or tired, she was full of knowledge, answering every question I had during the tour!

And when she caught those glimmers of interest in my eyes, she would quickly change the course such as showing me both the new and old Gojyo-bashi. Also when we happened to find a mini festival, she made a few additional stops for me to enjoy it!

The freedom you get when you have an excellent guide and a bike is your mode of transportation!

This course gave me the confidence to take on a longer course the next time I visit Japan!
