Heian Shrine tours

I thoroughly enjoyed the transportation and overall service provided for this trip. However, I believe one improvement could be made to enhance the experience: a more engaging tour guide. While the guide efficiently transported us to various destinations, a brief introduction and historical context for each location would significantly elevate the tour. Rather than simply stating, "We're going to this place, then this place, and then this place," a more interactive approach would involve sharing historical anecdotes, cultural insights, and interesting facts about the places we visit. This would not only enrich our understanding of the area but also make the tour more memorable. Despite this minor suggestion, I must say that the overall experience was fantastic and truly enjoyable.

I manage to grab the offer but one get one free. I happy with this trip I book via klook. I don’t like tours that will bring u go buy stuffs and souvenirs. I prefer this kind free and easy. The pick up point is easy to reach. The tour guide Leo, young and knowledgeable. can speak English and Chinese. Very friendly and helpful. he will send me WhatsApp to remain me of the time of pick up and remind me not to be late. Every stop he will send Whatspp reminder of what time must back to bus. His duties is just to bring us to the location like temple entrance and tell us how to walk back to the bus location. Every location the timing to stop and walk about is just nice for us. I appreciate his responsibility to make sure people get on board. but really cannot late go back to bus. The bus go off on time.

I loved this tour. Was expertly run and organised by tour leader Theodor, and his intern Scarlett, and ably assisted by the Master bus driver. We visited fabulous locations with lots of tips to get the most out of our time, and lots of laughs and fun. Theodor and Scarlett were excellent at their jobs and making us all feel comfortable and happy. Japan is amazing, but is even more so when people go out of the way to make it better and Theodor and Scarlett did this. Was very lucky to have met them both and am excited to return again soon!

We went on a tour with many Chinese speaking people and only 3 English speaking. Our Tour Guide, Jun, ensured we were included in the conversation along with all the other passengers. Thank you for having us along for the ride, Jun. it was a pleasure riding with you!!!

Excellent Day Trip. Smooth journey. Saw all the sights as advertised. The lunch was simple but nice and sufficient. (not strong tastes but Kyoto food is not heavy in taste). Guide “Tammy” Tamiya-San was friendly, knowledgeable, and speaks good English. She walks fast! As there are 4 main sights to see, one needs to be able to walk long distances and maintain a good pace, otherwise it may not be a good selection. Driver was on-time, efficient and safe. Not all drivers on the road are careful. Due to the world heritage areas visited, sometimes the bus park is a good 10-15mins walk away (steady pace, not a stroll). It was a very nice cool cloudy relatively windless day - good to see the Kinkaku-ji reflection in the waters. Really enjoyed it!

The Best tour. If anyone is interested in getting to know the temples at night on foot and experiencing them and doing the rituals (as is required with respect) that are in each one, this is the option.

- Traveling to various places is convenient because it uses a small bus. Can park closer to tourist attractions - Have freedom to travel on your own - Time spent for Arashiyama is too little, unable to visit many spots, but for Hanamikoji, Yasaka Shrine and Nara, the time is appropriate - Part time guides should accumulate more experience. But it's usable.

I had a fantastic self-guided tour to Kyoto. Amanda, our guide, dropped us off and picked us up at each location, providing a brief introduction and timing recommendations. Despite being a self-guided tour, it was easy to explore top spots like Kiyomizu-dera and Arashiyama with some Google Maps research. Highly recommended if you enjoy exploring at your own pace with convenient transportation!
