Arashiyama Tour — Bamboo Grove, Tenryu-ji, and Iwatayama Monkeys

"Nothing that I would change from today's tour.The stops were well thought out , and plenty of time was given for people to look around and take in the sides"

"It was long but worth it. We went on Easter Sunday, so the Bamboo Forest and the Shinto Shrine were mobbed. There were some stairs which made it impossible for me to see everything but some accommodation was made for an old man with mobility issues. Our guide Koji was excellent, well informed and personable. He moved at a pace that challenged me but was necessary to see everything."

"We had a wonderful experience on the trip. The guide was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. The tours were very enjoyable and well organised, and we really made the most of the day. Highly recommended!"

"Outstanding experience! Harry was our guide, and was very informative, efficient, and helpful. I hope to do this again in the future, especially with Harry, our tour guide"

"I loved the nara Excursion and the kyoto part. Our guide Gary was excellent, so helpful, kind and funny. Best guide. was a pleasure having him"

"Amy was the best guide and have us heaps of inside knowledge also very funny and a good Photographer"

"We had an excellent day with Nikson. (I don't know how to spell his name, sorry) He was absolutely hilarious and informative. Great character and personality. At each destination you have the option to follow him or you can do your own thing. The day is great value for money and we had plenty of time in each place. We didn't do the lunch option and instead found out own food which was very easy. We finished the day at Fushimi as it was getting darker. We wanted to stay and eat and as we realised we were close to our accommodation (a short train ride) we asked Nikson if we could make our own way home, which he was only with. Would definitely recommend this tour and you are very lucky if you get Nikson as your guide."

"The tour was really great. Harry our guide was so helpful. As a planner I was very happy with all the expectations that he laid out from the start. He knew we all signed up for a long tour and he kept us going until the end. Really loved the approach. Never had a question of what was next. Amazing job keeping us on time and loved the jokes! I appreciated have him guide us at each stop but then letting us explore but always had his eye out if we had a question!"

"Despite the tour being very long, our tour guide did a great job keeping everyone involved as well as trying to give people free to time do their own adventuring. Kyoto in general is an extremely busy city."

"Our tour guide Nick was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, funny, and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed his humor and the ability to maintain a large group organized and on schedule. The tour was really fun for the whole family, and the lunch was super delicious. Thank you very much for the great experience."

"Our guide for the day Nick was exceptional his humour won us over and had our daughter laughing so much he was so much fun and very informative with everywhere we visited that day and dropped us off in Osaka when we started our day in Kyoto, gave us recommendations for food and helped us with a taxi to our hotel."

"Nick our tour guide was phenomenal. Appreciated his knowledge and humour, he did a terrific job leading the tour"

"Great day - saw many things including Nara Deer Park which was alot of fun. The kobe beef lunch was fabulous"

"Our guide garry was very knowledgeable. He explained everything in detail amd made sure we reached every place on time. So polite and really helpful."

"We had a great time on our day trip through Kyoto and Nara. Our guide, Harry, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make it a memorable day with an added matcha express experience and going out of his way to run and get the crackers for us to feed the deer. He showed us his favorite spots for matcha and local favorite foods. We had a great day learning about the culture and history of Japan."

"Perfect trip if you want to see the key highlights of Kyoto and Nara. Our guide Mike made the tour fun and interesting and adjusted the order of some attractions to minimise the crowds. We went in peak cherry blossom season so it was crazy busy especially at the bamboo forest. Our favourites were Nara park and Fushimi inari which were first and last on the tour. Food was great but there’s also lots of food stalls and souvenir shopping along the way."

"Escursione perfetta. Tutto organizzato nei minimi particolari. Guida Simpatica e disponibile. Super consigliato"
