【英語ツアー】京都&奈良の有名観光地を周遊!伏見稲荷大社+金閣寺+嵐山+奈良公園日帰りバスツアー<大阪発/英語ガイド>

ツアー自体は最高

Reviewed by: hiro

大阪滞在中に日帰りで京都に行きたくて、日本語が分からないパートナーといっしょに参加しました。
ツアー自体は効率よく観光地を回れて非常に満足いくものでした!パートナーも非常に楽しそうにしていて、参加してよかったと思いました。
不満な点を挙げるとすれば、金閣寺は観光客が多すぎ&雨でみんな傘をさしていて非常に動きづらさがあった&時間もあまり無くて落ち着いて見られませんでした。
また、同じバスに乗っていた方が常に集合時間に遅れたため、楽しみにしていた東大寺へ行く時間が無くなり残念でした。

【英語ツアー】伏見稲荷大社+金閣寺+嵐山+奈良公園日帰りバスツアー<京都発/英語ガイド>

ハワイの友人と参加

Reviewed by: モチ

大阪スタートのツアーのようで、京都には20分遅れでバスが来たので、スタートが遅れましたが、その後の観光地でもちょうどいい長さの滞在で、友人に見せたかったものを見せることができました。伏見稲荷と金閣寺は、本当に見せたかったので大満足でした。お昼の鍋も美味しかったです♪
そして最後の奈良では時間が押して東大寺の大仏を見る時間がないかもと言われたのですが、がっかりしていたら、ガイドさんが、東大寺の前まで参加者全員を連れて早歩きで連れていってくださったので、無事大仏さんも見れました。
ありがとうございました。
ゆっくり見たいなら少し時間が足りないと感じるかもしれませんが、メインの観光地を短い時間で抑えたい方には良いツアーだと思います。

  • 奈良の大仏さん

  • ランチを食べたレストランの2階にありました

  • 伏見稲荷

  • ランチの豚肉の鍋

  • 東大寺 見れてよかった

  • 金閣寺

効率よく1日で色んな観光地へ行くことができて良かった!

Reviewed by: 郁旅

アメリカに住む娘夫婦と参加。当日は、お一人のガイドさんが英語と中国語で色々と説明してくださいました。(説明は車中のみ、観光地は全て自由行動)
各観光地では充分時間があったので、ゆっくり観光することができました。
最後の観光地奈良に到着したのが少し遅くなり、東大寺への拝観時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、ガイドさんが道に迷わないようにと雨の中途中まで連れて行ってくださり間に合いました。本当にお世話になりました。娘夫婦も大喜びでした。

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Great Tour to see three of the most popular sights.

Reviewed by: David Seaton

Finding the starting point was easy as it was very easy to see at the train station. It was nice that there were translations available as one of us spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. Despite rainy weather the tour was great. The tour obviously runs on a schedule so lingering to meditate will not work. There was enough time to follow the trails and get a number of photos but be aware that there will be crowds as these are very popular tourist places. This is an easy way to see the temples and to avoid numerous train and subway changes.

Great!

Reviewed by: Ana

It was great! The guide seemed very knowledgeable, however she did not speak English and we felt that we missed some information. She did have some videos in English and signs. Overall the tour was good and would recommend it!

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Crowds and delays

Reviewed by: Maile

The positives: bus transportation and pre-paid access into shrines and temples. The negatives: It was initially described as a Fall excursion but it was more like a highlights tour. They did not address any of the autumn trees or traditions for that time of year. Because of the Fall season is so popular, all of the places were very crowded, leading to a near race at each site just to get there and back in time for the bus. It also lead to a more than one hour delayed return, which, to be fair, they said might happen, but an update as the day progressed would have been better than announcing it at the tail end of a long day. We had plans to get back to JR station by a certain time so we had to depart the bus early and catch our own cab ride back which cost nearly $40.

Well worth doing the trip.

Reviewed by: Michael

Beautiful Temples and wonderful gardens and scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of people!
The English translation device, which is available on the bus, only worked for the journey to the Kinkakuji Temple. After that there was no English explanation of where we we going or what we were seeing. Pity!

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Top 3 temples in one day

Reviewed by: Savvy808

There are so many temples in Kyoto but this tour took us to the 3 temples I wanted to see and the guide also pointed out all the temples along the way from the bus. It was just enough stops to maintain my 13 year old daughter's interest without getting bored. Audio headset for English and other languages were only used in the bus so we couldn't understand the guide's explanation at all the stops, which was disappointing to us and the rest of the non-Japanese speaking people on our tour. The time spent at each stop was perfect with enough time to quickly browse through the shops and try popular snacks sold near the temples. We received small omiyage or souvenirs from each temple which was a nice surprise! Although it's a ways down a lot of steps, you should take the time to drink the water flowing down 3 channels to a fountain at Kiyomizudera. They say it has wish granting powers for love, academic success and longevity. This was a great tour but would've been perfect if it was in English!

Great time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: teddy85

First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you
