The activity content is basically the same as the introduction. We went to the most famous attractions in Kyoto and Nara. The minibus was very clean.

The trip was very pleasant, the tour guide Nancy was very helpful, the deer in Nara Park are very cute, and walking along the Hanami path is also a good memory.

The tour guide was serious and responsible, worked hard to explain, and exchanged instructions in Chinese and English. Unfortunately, he did not see the true face of Mount Lu (often wearing a mask). Everyone came to take photos together.

行程時間充足，適合有老人小朋友家庭輕鬆出遊京都奈良。 但出口4B 相對難揾，因商場接待人員都不清楚4B出口在哪裡。

The Chinese tour guide explained clearly and clearly. He walked to every scenic spot and was able to help with any questions. The price/performance ratio was very high and it is worth recommending.
