The process was efficient and time-saving, as we only needed to exchange the ticket at the office without having to wait in line. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the entire experience.

While planning a trip to Osaka with my college friends for our 30th anniversary, we booked a day tour to Kyoto. The reservation was confirmed quickly and the Japanese team answered all our questions right away, so we were able to complete our plan without any problems!! We met the very young Tochi-san at Dotonbori and headed to Kyoto!! He gave us friendly explanations and the best part was lunch at the restaurant we had reserved. Hanana Restaurant! Everyone, please make a reservation and go. I actually couldn't eat Japanese food well ㅠㅜ This time, I think I've completely adapted to the local taste. The area around Ginkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera had a temple-like atmosphere, and the Japanese style of the surrounding shops was impressive. If you want to feel Japan, I recommend Kyoto. After finishing our meal and schedule, Tochi-san's witty quiz made everyone on our bus happy!! On the way back to Osaka, he also made a reservation for dinner, so we had a delicious meal and went back to our lodging. Tochi-san~~ I'm so sorry I got back on the bus a little late ㅠㅜㅎㅎ It was a really tactful Kyoto trip even though it was raining! Stay healthy and make lots of money!!!

I was planning a 3 night, 4 day trip to Japan and wanted to take a Kyoto bus tour on the 2nd day, so I searched and chose Indigo Travel! When you take a bus tour abroad, you basically walk 20,000 steps a day. People say that the schedule is so tight that it's tough, so I was a bit worried because it was my first time on a bus tour. First of all, meeting Cheese Jjang, the guide who guided us on the tour for a day, was a bigger stroke of luck than seeing the four-leaf clover taxi. When we went to the bus stop in the morning, I asked her to take a picture of us in front of the river, and I thought she'd just take a quick picture and hand me her phone, but she took a nice picture of us, so it was a really good start. During the trip, she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and it was fun to do content that felt like a small event while moving on the bus. Most of all, Cheese Jjang's dad jokes were really funny to me. He also created a group chat to share information about delicious restaurants and travel tips👍 Oh, and most of all, even though I was a little distant from the guide during the tour, thanks to the receiver, I could hear the explanations throughout the tour.
