Great sample tour stopping at great locations - A lot of locations in a limited amount of time. Definitely make sure that you are rested and ready to hustle. It is definitely a sampler tour, but it is done right. We didn't have too much time in Kyoto so it was perfect for us to see many locations in one stop. My family and I had a great time. The bus was comfortable, and the stops were great. We found our way back from Osaka to Kyoto easily with public transportation.

The information provided... - The information provided about this tour needs to be clarified for persons taking it from Kyoto. There is no guided tour in Osaka - which is misleading - so we were recommended to make our own way back to Kyoto station by train. This was not clearly communicated before the start of the tour and was not planned for. On other tours that don’t go back to the start point, guides have provided clear details on return routes — this was lacking for this tour. As mentioned by others, it is less of a guided tour and more of a transport service - that favors the passengers that start from Osaka.

Kyoto and Nara - Little disappointed the tour guide just drop us at the tour site with no direction and explanation, as a tourist we were lost and had to ask people and had to follow the map On our own. Instructions were not clear. Even the final drop off location was not at the same place we were picked up.

DO NOT book with this company - Do not book with this company!!! Customer service is horrible.. I attempted to book this trip in 3 months and the date reverted back to “tomorrow”. I booked and paid for it. I messaged viators customer service and the company’s customer service; Viator couldn’t get a hold of the company and the company told me directly, since the tour is booked for the next day, it’s no refunds. I asked them multiple times just to change the date, they refused and said i should just show up to the tour. I explained that I live in the states and won’t be there for a few months. They said the policy is not refunds or changes. Even though I literally booked the same day as I attempted to change the date… Also, the actual tour guide messaged me to confirm the details and stated “sorry my English is not that great”, this is supposed to be an English speaking tour! I lost $270 and no tour! I am scheduled with another company with much better reviews! Again, DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!
