Very convenient way of exploring Kyoto and Nara. Jin our tour guide was great. Jin was kind to answer all questions and do not rush us to explore the sites. They provide water bottled for everyone. Just a caveat, not all places on the list for this post will be visited. They would inform you three places to visit as each way is one hour drive from each other so, it makes sense to only focus on three places and considering the rush hour times. We went to visit the Fushi Inari Taisha (torii gates) and also Gion district (where the geisha's are located) for Kyoto. For Nara, its the sinka deers and the temple as well. The temple was beautiful. Overall, the tour was great and its a value for your money considering the group size is fairly small which is better compared to out tours.

Very enjoyable and educational. Our tour guide, Taka, was top notch, and tailored the times to the small group. Allowed us to spend as much or as little time as each location as needed. Taka was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions.
