Great tour for family/kids

5.00Definitely a must see if you're in Kyoto or Osaka. This is a great tour to one of many UNISECO Heritage sights. Our guide was Kingo was fantastic. His knowledge and passion for the rich culture and history of the area was impressive. Deer park is fun for kids, the deer can get a little aggressive if you hide food, but if you bow they bow back which was pretty cool. I highly recommend this tour, and make sure you fit in the Golden Shrine.

Bait and Switch Costing Double the Price

1.00This is a bait and switch scam. We paid almost $500 for a tour. The booking was paid for and scheduled for a certain time but the tour operator didn’t even have a tour guide available at that hour. He told us to wait while he found one. We waited until finally he said he found someone. Unfortunately, that was not the end. The end was when the tour operator asked if we were okay spending an additional $500 after the credit card payment was processed. He said the private car tour did not include the cost of a driver. What?? The $500 tour would now cost $1000.. I told the tour operator to cancel and asked for a refund. Now, I’ve been told the refund amount is less than $100 out of $500. This is scandalous. The tour description is “The itinerary is based on hiring a car or van for 10 hrs”. Viator needs to refund my money asap.
Must do for people who have short stay in Japan

5.00Very well organized trip We saw very impressive Buddha Temple and Shinto Shrine in Nara. We were fascinated with Bamboo forest. Guide was very attentive, took lots of pictures and even when we had extra time left took us to Kyoto to explore Nijo castle which was not on itinerary that we are very appreciative that otherwise we would not have a chance to see it. Guide also helped us to make dinner reservation for after the trip We were very happy how we spent our time
Great Tour
