Michi was wonderful. She was efficient and knowledgeable. Full of energy despite the hot weather! We love the tour for covers the main highlights/attractions of Kyoto all in one day. Even the tour bus driver was pleasant and kind to take us all in our hotel for it rained at the end of the tour. The lunch was superb. Thank you Viator and JTB tours

This tour was well organised and a great way to see the major sights of Kyoto. Our guide, Yumi, was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly, humorous and helpful. The Japanese lunch was delightful.

The locations on the tour were good but the guide went too quickly and did not wait for the group to come together before starting to talk about the location/area of interest. Also the speaker unit was extremely soft so it was difficult to hear the guide. The other aspect that I did not like was the fact that the guide kept on telling the group to be on time back to the bus of they would be left behind and would need to catch up on their own - she never followed through with this and the same people made the group 10 minutes late the first time and almost 20 minutes late the second time. We almost missed our train back to Osaka since the people were late and the guide did not leave.

The sights and scenes of Kyoto are without a doubt some of the most awe inspiring in Asia or indeed the world. Would recommend the whirlwind tour only if you have super limited time to be here. We felt rushed and crushed by the swarms of humanity as it was cherry blossom time. The lunch was a bit less than average. Come on, in the land of excellent fresh food, they found a way to have chicken nuggets on the menu! OK, maybe it was for kids...so perhaps give them a break. However, if you have the chance to roam on your own, would highly recommend it or do two 1/2 tours and break it up.
