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

Great Tour for the time concious traveller, only had 1 day to spend in Kyoto, and was able to visit all the sites we wanted to see!

Morning tour guide was a bit soft spoken/hard to hear unless you stood very near.Gold Palace was WAY TOO RUSHED!! Maybe a change of order would be better. Afternoon guide was AMAZING!! He was so INFORMATIVE and funny!! Overall we would highly recommend this tour. The only way to see and learn about the top spots in such an efficient way.

It was a wonderful tour. However, lunch at the Handicraft Centre was a bit disappointing after having experienced the lunch provided on the Panoramic Tokyo tour.

I had not been to Kyoto before and this tour was the one to get a feel for the history of the city. The following days I did my own thing, and my experience was definitely enhanced by having first had the guided thing.

It hit major sites in one day that we wanted to see, and the guides were good.

The one-day trip to Kyoto & Nara was definitely worth it. The highlights in Kyoto gave a first idea of the city, which was interesting, and lunch in the handycraft center was actually better than I had expected for a tourist group treat. But I particularly liked the afternoon in Nara - the space and green surroundings of the sights are perfectly relaxing and you really get into holiday mood while visiting magnificent historical places.
While I preferred the afternoon on the programme side, it was the opposite for our guides: the morning guide was great (perfect English & a very good mix of historical and country information), the guide in the afternoon was less helpful (not so good English, less information...)
Overall, definitely a good tour.

The tour was great. I enjoyed it very much. I would definately recommend this tour especially if you've never been to Kyoto before. It covers most of the highlights in Kyoto. The tour guide was very nice and was very informative.

It rained, but we appreciated the free umbrellas very much and used them often, later. For a visitor with little time to spend in Kyoto, this is the ideal introduction to Kyoto's heritage. The full-day trip allows you to submerge yourself in way which the half-day tours could not. Not visiting the Imperial Palace was a disappointment: it was not evident from information on the net that it would not be open on this particular Friday, which we had selected specifically to visit the Palace.
