Driver Bai was punctual and friendly. He helped me to arrange the locations that I wanted to visit into the timeframe we had. I think its a great choice for people who doesn’t have alot of time but want to visit multiple locations. The van used was clean and comfortable too.

We joined this one-day tour in Kyoto on November 30th, which was very convenient. In particular, the tour guide TAKI was very considerate. He contacted us one day in advance to confirm and reserved the front row seats for us who were prone to motion sickness. During the activity, he explained in detail and was happy to serve tourists. The only drawback was that the itinerary was a bit rushed, and the experience of the last attraction was too hasty. Perhaps one attraction should be removed, so that the experience of the whole activity would be better.

Sanzenin was the highlight of the trip. the entrance and time it takes to get there is well worth it. this day trip is a good way to spend a day if you've already explored the highlights of Kyoto, don't have a car, and want to go further out without worrying about car rental. Extra points if you go during fall foliage season.

The service provided by the tour leader Yu Jun was very good. Although there were some hiccups during the trip, I was lucky to see the red maples. I will want to take a one-day trip to other attractions in Japan next time!
