Reviews: [Cherry Blossom Season] Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Guest User2026-03-17
A big thumbs up to Uncle Big Head on WeChat on February 24th! He provided clear information, location, and photos in advance, and was very enthusiastic and meticulous in replying to questions and offering helpful reminders. His driving was very smooth and safe, and the itinerary and arrangement of the three attractions were well-planned. His descriptions of the attractions and restaurants were concise. All three attractions are traditional and representative, rich in local culture and history. Uncle Big Head deserves high praise for his itinerary planning.

I was able to visit various places in Kyoto very comfortably. In particular, Guide Oh Seok-bong provided such entertaining explanations that it made the trip even more enjoyable. He also recommended many great restaurants, so thanks to him, I think I will be able to make the most of the remaining time.

I felt this was a truly heartwarming trip to Kyoto! From the magnificent golden splendor of Kinkaku-ji to the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, every stop was breathtaking and thought-provoking. The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.

Our trip was on time, and our guide, Amanda, was fluent in both English and Chinese and very helpfull. She explained everything, include bathroom location which is very important for me and my family. All participants were orderly and punctual. We could arrange our shopping time for souvenirs and street food near Fushimi Inari and it was very enjoyable. The Japanese souvenirs made in japan were good there. The halal lunch (halal tempura udon) near the bridge/bamboo forest bus park area was also delicious and there is prayer room also for their customer.

Yesterday, I traveled around downtown Osaka by train using the Osaka Amazing Pass. However, since I don't know Japanese, it was more difficult than I expected. Today, thanks to the bus tour, I was able to comfortably tour Kyoto and Nara, listening to and seeing historical details along the way, and I truly enjoyed it. I am taking away a fulfilling day thanks to the passionate guidance of our tour guide, Mika Kim.
