    Since,I'm new visitor to Kyoto , I couldn't locate where in Kyoto Station your buses were located. On the brochure is should indicated 'Bus Terminal'. Lack of Signage can be confusing. This bus tour gave me insight of Kyoto. I stayed on the bus for East line than continue on with West Line. Lack of coordination on went the bus will stop to get off. There should be signal of the next Stop. So folks can get Off.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect but this tour was a GEM. My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary trip and the views from Amanohashidate were literally EPIC. Cable car ride was a bit nerve-wracking for me but totally worth it for the pictures (btw, can’t take pics inside some of the shrines, so heads up). Would recommend for couples or families.

    Just got back from the tour and WOW, what a day. Came with my sis and honestly, we didn’t expect such a chill ride—bus had suuuper comfy seats, which was awesome after walking around all morning. Our guide (think her name was Yuki?) knew sooo much random stuff about the area, like why some houses have those blue tiles. Weather was HOT but we lucked out with shade at most stops. Only thing, wish we had like 10 more minutes at Ine cause the boats there are adorable. Still, 10/10, would totally bring my parents next time.

    Efficient way to see Kyoto if you don’t have much time. Cesar was super energetic, explained things in Spanish for my parents. Only minus: traffic slowed us down a bit in the afternoon.

    Booked last minute and so glad I did. Got to see all the Kyoto classics in a day. Guide spoke both English and Spanish which was great for our group. Only thing—wish the bamboo grove was less packed but you can’t win ‘em all.
