Our tour guide Adrian was very funny and knowledgeable. He gave us good directions and enough time to explore the area. I will recommend him to anybody.
Osaka Day Trip to Kyoto & Nara via Bus
David_K, 08-01-2020
Very pleased by the nice work our tour leader ("Yen") provided with this one day bus trip tour. Nice to have the transportation provided to get to the four different cultural spots.
Very bad experience.
Manminder_M, 08-12-2022
The most annoying part of the trip was that the guide was not giving us the right direction and information about the places we visited. All he did was to take us to the place and leave us on our own.
Good visit

Overall a good tour but unfortunately the guide’s English proficiency was very limited which made it very difficult to understand even the most basic instructions (meeting time and place and basic questions). I would recommend the tour but with a better guide!
