Coach trip - It was an interesting day with 3 different area visits. We first went to Nara Park to see the shrines and deer. Then onto Osaka for a bit of shopping and food. We then went to Kobe for a short time and onto the Kobe Tower. Our tour guide Helimar Ikeda was lovely and informative and spoke very good English.

Our favorite tour so far! - We really liked the entire tour and the staff was really really great! Our guide was Heli (pronounced like “Elle”) and she was very knowledgeable. More important very natural and had a very good wit. Our driver was Ikeda who was friendly, professional, and most importantly an excellent driver. We’d highly recommend if you want a good tour and visiting Kyoto that you try this tour to Nara/Osaka/Kobe. It’s a great way to see beautiful parts of Japan in an enjoyable manor.

Good way to see Osaka, Nara and Kobe in one day - Excellent day trip from Kyoto to Osaka, Nara and Kobe in about 10 hours. The tour was very well organized, with comfortable bus transportation and stops at some of the highlights, such as Osaka Castle, local food markets, Nara deer and Kobe Harbor. The guide was sharing interesting explanations along the way in both English and Spanish, which made each stop even more enjoyable. Plus, there was plenty of time to wander around and discover each place on your own. Highly recommended if you want to see several key points of Kansai in a single day in a comfortable and simple way.

Practical tour for a few days in Japan - A pretty practical tour if you have little time. The bus rides have been between 30 and 40 minutes, all very smooth and well planned. Our driver Hamada-san and Eli-san were very professional and attentive. We have a very rainy day but it has been enjoyed the same.
