This was our first day in Japan and we could not have been more pleased with the tour we took with viator. It was extremely well organized, the tour guide was lovely and the selected sites were most impressive. My only less than positive comment would be about the buffet lunch served at the hotel before the tour started. It was fine, but it wasn't exactly a highlight of our trip.

Great experience if you don't have more time to stay in Kyoto.

Superb guide excellent English, lots of information, the train was amazing, lunch could have been shorter, was very good but we could have seen another sight. Cherry blossoms were amazing!! So much to see in Kyoto!

We chose this tour as we had just one day to see Kyoto and we were delighted with our choice. The pick-up and transfer to the train were on time and so well organized, the views of Mt Fuji from the train were spectacular. On arriving in Kyoto we were met by a guide and taken for a fantastic lunch at the hotel right across the road from the station. The tour itself was wonderful, although a bit rushed due to the short time available, but we saw the highlights and loved it all. The guide was excellent. All in all we highly recommend this tour for anyone short on time - definitely worth doing despite the high price.

We really loved the trip...What a blast!

I thought every aspect of the day was excellent! I just wish I had planned for more time in Kyoto, like several days!

We loved the train ride in first class. Very relaxing and a treat. Lunch buffet was wonderful. Only advice - don't book the trip for the hottest and most humid week of the year in August which made it hard to concentrate on the beautiful sights. Guide was very nice and informative as we drove around the city.

A very interesting city! A great tour guide, and we consider the time and money spent for this tour well worth it!

It's a good tour, specially if you're on a limited time and your base is in Tokyo. Kyoto had a special character as compared to Tokyo, so it was very good experience seeing the best of both worlds! The price is quite exorbitant considering the little time, they can improve on the lunch part should have been Japanese. overall, if you want to see a glimpse of Kyoto just as an added spice to your Japanese experience, take this! The Kiyumizu temple is worth looking at even just for a brief time.

Worth doing if you have very little time in Kyoto, like me. Otherwise, it's a long day and a lot of money to get a tiny sampling of a wonderful city.
