A great day out from Osaka - We had an excellent day tour with our guide Willa. Everything ran smoothly and to time. Willa gave us the history and important information about each place we visited, and what to look out for. Of course it would be nice to have more time at each place to explore, especially as it can get very crowded. But if your time is limited and you want a great day out to see as much as possible, then I would recommend this tour. Communication before and during the day from Willa was really useful to help locate the meeting points.

Round 10/10 - Chris really was a 10/10 guide, the different activities included in the tour are really all unmissable. Gathering and communicating is very easy via a whatsApp group impossible to get lost. Small tip: for each destination try to go further from the crowd, because people are mostly present in the entrance of the attractions but it is quieter when you advance a little. Also, for the tour of the Bamboo forest, I recommend you to go with the guide because otherwise you may miss key must-see places. Also make sure you have cash for restaurants in Kyoto.

Enjoyable - This was an interesting tour. I liked seeing all the various places. Our tour guide Chris was great very interactive and took time to show us around. The only downfall was its extremely crowded hoards of buses coming and going.

Great day! - Willa was our tour guide and helped make our trip to the Kyoto / Nara very memorable. The trip was fun, informative and interesting. The rain dampened the mood, but still the sites were beautiful and well worth the experience. The food we experienced along the way was an extra bonus.
