Byodo-in tours

Alvin was a lovely and knowledgeable guide who made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. The locations were worth visiting and there was plenty to do at each place. The deer park was enjoyable and Uji had lots to see as well as good places for food (especially if you like matcha). It is a shame there wasn't more time in the day. The hot springs were a great end to the trip as they were very relaxing before the journey back to Osaka.

First sake tasting experience and it is wonderful. manage to taste and found the type of sake I like. The guide is quite new but tried her best to tell us the sake history.

Ako was a wonderful guide. I'd recommend this tour for not only fans of matcha, but those interested in learning more of the history in Uji City.

very friendly tour guide, we learned a lot! A tour through Uji the Hotspot of matcha. If you like tea and culture, I would totally advice you to go!

Amy was a terrific guide. She was knowledgeable and always upbeat with a positive attitude. This tour checked off a few of our to do destinations. It was very past paced; it would've been nice to stay longer at certain areas. Overall, it was enjoyable with a memorable guide.

This half day tour was the highlight of our holiday we are so glad we booked it. Absolute value for money. Excellent guide and very funny boatmen who work hard for their money. I would recommend to anyone visiting Arashiyma. Don’t forget to try the tofu ice cream after the bamboo forest, it’s pretty good.

It was amazing! we loved seeing the deer and the temples, the hot springs were highly needed after the long day of walking, so it was a great way to end the tour. The second part could be timed better, we almost ran out of time to have lunch, but other than that it was lovely.

Tour was an amazing experience but Theodor really stole the show, We got lost on our way back from Kiyomizu-dera temple and he found us in that sea of people! that was frankly incredible and because of that I can't praise him enough. Highly, highly recommended tour.
