As expected, took us to all sights we were interested in. Bus stops were easy to find and frequency was good. The staff onboard were all very helpful.

It was easy to use the site, the QR Code ticket is convenient since I don't have to worry about losing it, the staff was very friendly and helpful and it was great that there were trash cans on the bus. The view from Ginkaku-ji was beautiful, the food on Nishiki-Ichiba Market was delicious! On the other hand, what I think could be improved is putting the business hours of the main attractions on the leaflet, it would make it easier to plan the route for the day. It would also be nice to synchronize better the times of the travel and the guide voiceover, since it would start after a long-ish period from setting off and frequently cut off before the end of the stories when we got to the stations. All things considered, great tour, we could go to many different spots very conveniently.

Ticketing was very good and also the tour was excellent with most of the people very friendly and helpful. One issue was on 6th 2.morning the first bus of yours: the people told us the lower deck of the bus was not available due to japanese law. So we should sit on the top roof - open and we had 4 degrees centigrade temp. Plus driving wind - we would have been frozen. So we had to refuse. Strange law (?) and driver.

Very easy with clear list of destinations. I have travelled to Kyoto numerous times, but I learnt so much new information from the audio. Will definitely be using on our next visit.

We had a one day pass and managed to see the sites we wanted to (not all the sites in the tour). Visited Nijo-Jo Castle, The Golden Pavillion and SanjuSangendo on the red bus then caught the purple bus back to Kyoto Station and another purple bus to Gion for late pm early eve. Got the last bus back from Gion. All worked really well

On time bus was good because you could rely on catching the next bus. But the Museum was closed at one of the stops but we NOT advised of that. So we wasted time doing nothing waiting for next bus. As a tourist service, the people who run the service should know this and advise passengers.

Nice to have a bus to go on and the audio was good. The bus was often running behind, but traffic is understandable. It was cold, it would have been nice to have inside seating and not just up top
