Very good itinerary, I went to see the two cities and Lushan that have been looking forward to for a long time. Whether it is the palace building or the scenery and food of Lushan, I am very satisfied. The introduction of the tour guide is also very detailed. It is a worthwhile trip haha.

A very satisfying trip. Although I signed up for the tour alone, I contacted everyone in advance. The tour guide was very good and introduced every attraction. He was very professional and suitable for people like me who want to visit many places in one day.★

Guest User2025-05-08
Forgot to evaluate! The tour guide Dai guide Frederick is very good, Chinese, Japanese, English and three languages are proficient, all the way to lively atmosphere and explain historical stories. All tourists are very warm and friendly. At the end of the trip, he asked him what was delicious and fun and he was very enthusiastic to tell us. I recommend everyone to set the itinerary if you want the Nara Kyoto Busan line!★

Reviews: Kyoto Arashiyama + Sanzen-in 1-day tour, enjoy fall foliage and explore ancient temples and bamboo groves
Guest User2025-05-12
This day trip to Kyoto, the customer service sent me the information such as the name of the car license driver and the name of the tour guide the next day, and then added the WeChat of the tour guide Li Songlan. On WeChat, Li Guide said the meeting point and precautions for the next day. On the day of departure, Li Songlan tour guide waited at the meeting point early to confirm the number of people. Li guide explained a lot about Kyoto-Kyoto attractions and history along the way. The interaction was very good. Each attraction also led the team in person to assist tourists who did not speak Japanese to buy tickets and take pictures for tourists. So this Kyoto day trip experience is very good, next time I go to report! Li Songlan tour guide is great! The driver master is also great every time I get on and off the bus, I smile and nod.★

Reviews: Kyoto Kifune Shrine, Arashiyama, and Sanzen-in Temples: A 9-person Small Group Tour to Enjoy the Cool Summer and Autumn Leaves
Guest User2025-08-20
Today's day trip was a fantastic experience thanks to driver Wang Hongfu! Not only was he a steady driver, he drove quickly and safely throughout the trip, making us feel at ease the entire way. He also knew the route very well, avoiding several traffic jams and getting us to each attraction on time, without wasting any time on our trip.
The scenery was pretty good, and we had a set meal by the stream for lunch, which was quite expensive. I'd have missed the train, but it was just okay. It was crowded, hot, and smelly, haha.
