Kyoto Imperial Palace tours

Amazing experience. Our guide Yuko was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Highly recommended.

A really great tour to get an overview of historic Tokyo and Japan in a single day, we didn’t have much time in Kyoto so it was perfect to see a lot, our guide was knowledgeable and kept everyone’s energy up over a big day. The only downside of this is you don’t get much time at each stop, keep in mind that this is a quick tour of everything and you’ll be fine or choose to go to less stops on another tour where you can spend longer.

The half-day tour organized by the agency was fantastic. Our guide, Miyuki, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and we had a great time exploring the destinations. I truly loved this trip!

The Kyoto - Nara day trip was a great way to see some of the highlights in both cities. Yuki-San, our guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was very cool to be able to walk inside the Nijo-Jo castle and take pictures of the “golden pavilion”. The Nara deer are a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you have to see to believe as they come right up to you expecting a treat!

it was a hot and humid summer day (about 97 degrees Fahrenheit) in July when we did the tour but we had a nice A/C bus with comfortable reclining chairs complete with footrest. it was a nice reprieve after being in the heat visiting all the places. Ms. Aki, our tour guide was a trooper! the heat never fazed her, she patiently explained all the history behind the sites. half of our group only did the morning part of the tour (Nara) and we had to go back to Kyoto station to drop them off. then we head out to lunch with a smaller group (about 9 people total). the meal was already prepared for us when we arrived at the restaurant which was nice. the rest of the afternoon was spent visiting more sites. Ms Aki gave us enough free time to explore. highly recommend this tour, she even had us do a quick detour to Kimono forest on the way to arashiyama bamboo forest. we did a lot despite the heat!

I love the vibe in the area, though it’s quite gloomy when we went there but it’s still worth it. Make sure to come to seaside and don’t stay too much on top area cause there’s a lot to explore down. Ine fishing village is a must, quiet and picturisque village though we stay only for few mins, it could have been longer. The best part of the trip was feeding the seagull up close even though i was travelling solo, it made the whole trip a success.

Katz was our tour guide and he was a great one! he even helped us with recommending vegan options and took us around across the kiyomizudera, kinkakuji temples and uji city. all these places were beautiful beyond words

The encounter with the deers was the highlight of this tour. It was an amazing experience. The visit to the other destinations were likewise a great opportunity. The lovely autumn colors around Kiyomizu Temple were a feast to the eyes with many photo opportunities.
