Thanks to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting, who was so nice when we brought our baby with us. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us carry the stroller.
You can choose your own way to explore each attraction during the itinerary. We chose a leisurely pace with our baby, and the rides between attractions were short. My daughter loved the Baumkuchen factory, a place everyone doesn't see often. We spent quite a while there, and it was great for taking photos.
Traveling with a tour group was much more convenient and cheaper than taking our own transportation!★

Guest User2025-08-20
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.★

Traveling alone, I booked a day trip to Kyoto departing from Osaka. 😆 Our guide, ViVi, was very friendly and attentive, providing excellent explanations in both Chinese and English. There was plenty of time for sightseeing, making it a very fulfilling day. I have wonderful memories of Kyoto. 😊 The matcha ice cream 🍦 was so delicious! 🤤★

Reviews: Kyoto & Uji World Heritage Sites day Tour | Kinkaku-ji & Kiyomizu-dera & Byodo-in
Guest User2025-11-27
We signed up for a Kyoto day tour, and surprisingly, we were the only two mainland Chinese tourists in the group. The tour guide explained Kyoto's sights to us in both Chinese and English, which we found quite interesting. Since we were the only two whose admission tickets were included, the guide even bought separate tickets for us at each attraction and pointed out important things to note while leading us through the sites. We were very grateful for the warm hospitality of our guide, Cave Wu Wenkai. Despite the crowds during a Japanese holiday, the autumn leaves at Kiyomizu-dera Temple were still beautiful under the gentle autumn sun. A great trip!★

Reviews: Kyoto Sanzen-in Arashiyama 1-day tour [Scenic Railway, Bamboo Forest Path, Tenryu-ji Temple, Togetsukyo Bridge] Maple Leaves Viewing
Guest User2025-07-03
The trip to Lushan + Sanqianyuan booked this time was great. Traveling with a baby, there was almost 37 degrees of high temperature that day, and at least 3-4 degrees was lower in the Sanqianyuan. The three thousand yards were full of green eyes, and many people were posing there. There are many more people in Lushan than 3,000 courtyards. It is recommended to have lunch here. Many restaurants only accept cash. Remember to bring cash. Children with children are best to book the tickets for Lushan trains in advance. The customer service of the root travel agency asks what time it is more convenient to book. The small train travel time is 1 hour. We also saw someone drifting from the small train, but there is no time. Come next time. The tour guide Liu Ling wants to say in particular, the car is very enthusiastic to explain to everyone, before the train time, he also took everyone to the station, the small train came back and presented the children Lushan small refrigerator stickers.
