The tour bus company contacted me early in the morning so that I could adjust the itinerary by myself. Two days before departure, the driver had already greeted me on whatapps and would leave on time that day. He would also give us suggestions on where to eat better.

Unfortunately, it rained in the morning. Tour guide Zhao Dezhu drove to the meeting place early, which was convenient for everyone. w Tour guide Zhao was very enthusiastic along the way and introduced the background of several major attractions, which was really helpful for the visit. There were crowds of people at Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka in Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. It was better to change to other attractions to see people than to see the scenery. Fushimi Inari Taisha is really good, but you can't go too deep, otherwise there will not be enough time. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple in Wakakusa Mountain are both worth visiting.

Very knowledgeable guides with well planned itinerary. Put on your walking shoes and expect to walk about 15,000 steps. Bring your rain gear and some cash. Leave early since the transfer between Kyoto Station and the pick up location requires careful navigation and about 15 min walk.

Gary, our tour guide is very knowledgeable and nice guy. my opinion fushimi inari trip can be time extended around 15-20’ extra because there is so many thing to see and reduce timing to golden temple and deer park. Regarless my suggestion will be consider or not, just remember one thing, with every tour there are always people who can’t manage their time properly, so schedule timing could be little difficult to follow. Apart from that it was a fun trip and I enjoying my first Klook tour by far.
