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。

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。

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。

The Hiroshima and Itsukushima Shrine Full-Day Tour from Kyoto organised by Japan Panoramic Tours was once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide, Yurika, was punctual, pleasant and total professional to the hilt. We visited Hiroshima Memorial and museum, had a great Japanese dish cooked in front of us which was delicious. Thererafter went to nearby Miyajima Island which was picturesque. Unfortunately the famous Torii gate was under renovation, but the temple that was covered was one of our favourites. Loved everything about this tour. Highly recommend. A great mix of history, culture and scenery!
Veltra were extremely helpful and prompt in responding to pre-tour questions. This was our first time using them, and will now always look for tours through them.

Great mix of tour information, mixed with opportunities for a few minutes to explore on your own at each stop.
I was traveling alone and wanted to see the highlights of Kyoto and Nara in one day.
Tour group size was good.

We had a lovely afternoon in Nara... the Buddist temple was amazing, one of my highlights while being in Japan... the Shinto temple was also well worth visiting, and the deers in the park made it a fun day... our guide Hajime san gave us an amazing insight into the Japanese culture and some fun videos on the bus... he is a credit to the company - arigato Hajime san

This was our best guided tour ever – guided by Akiko sana. We went on this tour to see the Hiroshima Peace memorial mainly.
We are proud of what she shows you, what she says; we are proud of her emotional way of giving narrative. Yes, she is thoughtful and passionate about her work. This was wonderful holiday in Japan.

We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of beautiful Kyoto and the amazing Todaiji Temple, and Nara deer park. The buffet lunch was very good with plenty of choice and many vegetarian options. The guides were both knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of time was allowed at each location.
The tour office at Kyoto station is a bit difficult to find but the staff at Veltra gave us clear instructions and a google link on request. The tour office is at the basement level just opposite the basement entrance to the Avanti building.
Veltra also helped us sort out our voucher by emailing it directly to Sunset tours as we couldn't print it.
Highly recommended!

it was a beautiful sunny day, the english speaking guide was nice but hard to understand his english, it will be better when the company provides free wi-fi on the bus like in Tokyo and the Lunch buffet was poorly for this price. Next time will be greater if the company, organise for the Tour Groups separat room with Lunch buffet, look up much better as mixes with others. Lunch time was to short.

Obviously you're packing a lot into one day so you don't spend ages at each place, but this is a great way to see the main highlights and get a feel of the places. Tour guides were great and knowledgable, coach was new and comfy and cool!

Prior to trip very impressed with quick response to my email request to change hotel collection point. Tour itself ran like a Swiss watch, Japanese guide met us as we stepped off the train. Retired school teacher (Amy) spoke perfect English and had a good system to prevent losing people. All excursions should be as thorough. Only improvement would be radio headsets like some of the major companies use. Would have no hesitation in booking through City Discovery again if product was on our list of things to do.

This was a long day but our guide was absolutely delightful and shared many personal and family stories with us that made the day memorable. The tour group was a bit too large and there were some rather demanding and dominating people on the tour which at times detracted from the guides serene and gentle narration and the impressive and moving sights of Miyajima and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.

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!!

Nice trip if you want to experience Shikansen if you haven't done so yet. Trip to Miyajima is quite relaxed. We had beautiful weather, so the ferry ride, the visit to the temple and the walk through the Peace Park was both impressive, leisurely and enjoyable. Although lunch was not included you have a lot of choice of food near the temple.
