We had limited time in Kyoto and had spent too much time on the Tokyo metro gettin from place to place so I booked this for my 12 year old son and me. It was air-conditioned and so comfortable and took out the extraneous transport times from place to place. I loved that we had mostly time on our own at the temples, just given times to meet back. We opted for the tofu lunch and it was a dining experience that was just amazing. I've never tasted tofu like that! The buses seemed well coordinated with outher tour buses so we were never jam packed. The guide was just fantastic. When we didn't have umbrellas at the Golden Pavilion and it was pouring, she ran back to the bus to find us some. I've already recommended this very tour to friends going to Japan next week!

Tour was excellent. The Temples, shrines, bamboo forest and the golden pavilion were all very interesting. Great tour if you want to visit Unesco sites and experience some Japanese history. Our tour guides were fantastic. Ryosuke was very informative and quite funny at times, making the tour very enjoyable.

Super bad that they had the wrong meeting time setup in the platform where they sold the tour. That meant we were 80 minutes (as we wanted to be early) before we left. No compensation offered whatsoever. The guide was good and it offers a variety of things throughout one day.

Take the activity level seriously! The pace is fast and there is a lot of walking on uneven surfaces and up hills. If you are a couch potato, this is not your tour! Tanny was knowledgeable and did a lot of preperatory history while we were in transit between sites.

Guide was tammy - very knowledgeable and fond of kobe, we took in 6 sites plus a few drive bys, meal was better than i expected, overall good value without a lot of time at some of the sights, not having to queue to pay or have hassle at each site was a bonus
