Would book again 👍 - I had a great tour with Kuo-san. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and organized. When he learned I was a solo traveler, he checked on me often and made sure I felt included. He also took a nice photo of me at Fushimi Inari. The pace was comfortable, his tips were helpful, and his route was well planned. I would happily recommend him. Arigatō gozaimashita.

Kyoto Nara Day Tour - Kyoto Nara Day Tour is a wonderful journey of rhyme and fun. Arrive at Kyoto Shimizu-ji Temple in the morning, with its quaint wooden buildings, and stand on the suspended "stage" to take in the views of downtown Kyoto. After that, Saka tasted tea sautéed with bulgur and soft and sweet. In the afternoon, head to Nara Park, where the fawn are lively and cute, interactive and ultra-healing, and the grandeur of Todaiji Temple is stunning . The day was full of harvest and unforgettable.

Wonderful trip to Kyoto and Nara - Thank you to Kuo-san for the wonderful trip to Kyoto and Nara. It was a great experience—my kids and I really enjoyed walking through the charming streets of Kyoto and trying the local food. We were especially surprised by the deer in Nara and how naturally they live alongside the local people. Although our trip started with a slight delay, Kuo-san kindly provided us with snacks and did his best to make the journey as comfortable as possible. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to visit all the main sights and return to Osaka safely

郑璐 (Lu) was an amazing... - 郑璐 (Lu) was an amazing tour guide, she was so punctual, funny, and knowledgeable. She spoke on the tour in both English and Chinese. She gave us a lot of information on the history of each location while we were on the bus - a lot of entertaining anecdotes as well, and always willing to answer any questions! The tour covered many interesting sights and we liked having our own time to walk around, shop, and eat. The temples were beautiful and the deer at Nara were so cute!

Ehh - This is essentially a self-guided Tour with a designated bus driver and a Tour guide to inform you as to what time the bus will return. The bus as advertised said it has AC, but the bus did not. The feel like temperature was every bit of 97 degrees and the bus was a hot box.
