Reviews: Kyoto & Nara 1-day tour | Nara Park + Fushimi Inari + bamboo forest path + optional romantic train
Guest User2026-06-13
This tour was prefect! I got to do everything I wanted and I didn’t feel rushed. It was a full day and by the end I was exhausted but fulfilled; I really enjoyed it.

Reviews: [Can be departed from Kyoto or Osaka] A day trip to Amanohashidate in Kyoto, Chion-ji Temple, and Ine Funaya.

I only know a little Mandarin, but despite the limitation, I had no issue communicating with the lovely guide and the entire team. Loved that the tour felt relaxed and was of no rush at all. Would definitely recommend if you want that kind of tour.

Reviews: Kyoto in a Day: The Ultimate Top 4 Highlights Tour (From Osaka/Kyoto)
Guest User2026-08-23
Oscar, our guide, was excellent in both English and Chinese, providing detailed explanations and taking care of everyone in the group! The overall itinerary was well-paced, with a well-planned route that made the trip enjoyable without being tiring. The guide led us through the interior and exterior of Nijo Castle. In Arashiyama, he guided us to the entrance of the bamboo grove; at Kinkaku-ji and Fushimi Inari, he led us to the entrance of the scenic area, explaining the route, time, and pick-up point. It was fantastic! Although we booked a 46-person group due to the heat, it was actually a small group with a guide and driver. Excellent value for money, great value for money, and very convenient to get on and off at Kyoto Station. Thank you! We also met another guide, Gao, plus a very knowledgeable international student! He helped take care of the Chinese-speaking tourists in the group and took photos for us. Thank you! My husband got along very well with him.

Reviews: [Guaranteed Departure] Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha + Arashiyama + Kinkaku-ji + Nara Park 1-day Tour
Guest User2026-11-08
The organization was good, everything was clear and understandable. She provided all the necessary information in the general chat during the trip. The downside was that we weren't given enough time to see everything, which isn't surprising, as we visited a three-day itinerary in one day. But we didn't have time; we wanted to see so much. So this itinerary is for those with limited time. If you want to spend more time walking with the deer in Nara and enjoying the beauty of the temples, then choose separate itineraries. But I enjoyed it; we definitely wouldn't have seen it all on our own. Thanks to the organizers and trip.com.

Reviews: Kyoto Amanohashidate + Ine Fishing Village 1-day tour [Includes Amanohashidate cable car ticket and Ine Bay sightseeing boat ticket]
Guest User2026-11-09
Although the journey to Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya in Kyoto was quite long, it was definitely worth it once we arrived! Please see the pictures below! The time allotted for each attraction was a bit tight, but that's understandable. A special shout-out to our guide, Mika! She not only provided detailed explanations but also proactively recommended the best photo spots, allowing us to capture many wonderful moments. It was a very enjoyable group tour!

Reviews: Limited offer - Kyoto and Nara 1-day tour to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Taisha and Tōdai-ji in Nara
Guest User2026-11-02
We had a fantastic experience on the Kyoto & Nara tour! Everything was well organized and we got to discover so many beautiful and interesting places in one day. Kyoto was absolutely amazing, and the visit to Nara Park where we got to meet the charming deer was truly a highlight! 🦌⛩️ the most fun was feeding them. An extra big thank you to our guide Shine, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. He made the trip both enjoyable, relaxed and memorable. We really recommend this tour to everyone, especially to those visiting Kyoto and Nara for the first time. An experience we will never forget! 🇯🇵❤️ a thousand thanks to Shine
