Absolutely loved this tour, it very well organised and received detailed itineraries for each tour the night before. The tour leader Shine for the Kyoto tour was so knowledgeable and explained not only about the temples but also about every day life in Osaka. He genuinely does go above and beyond even after the tour has ended when he tried to help me out with a problem that I had and checked to see that it went well the next day. Jay from the Amanohashidate tour gave us enough time to enjoy the places we went to and recommended to go on the sightseeing boat which was better than I expected after hesitating.

The price is reasonable, and it saves you a lot of trouble with transportation. Overall, it's not too rushed! You can also board in Kyoto and get off in Osaka, which is super convenient!

It's very convenient to use; you can directly show your ticket for verification. It includes a round trip on the cable car or chairlift. The chairlift offers a wider view, and feeding the seagulls on the sightseeing boat is a lot of fun. It's worth buying and cheaper than the on-site ticket price.

You can keep entering using your mobile phone, unlike paper-based ones which need to be carefully stored.

Thanks to having purchased tickets in advance, I didn't have to queue to buy tickets on the day, which made the journey very smooth.

First of all, I'd like to thank our tour leader, Batu (BA), for his explanations. He shared a lot of knowledge that foreigners might not know, along with some honest advice (such as which restaurants offer good value for money, and information about eye drops, etc.). Secondly, I joined yesterday's (October 1st) tour, and the attractions weren't crowded at all, plus the weather was great, so the experience was excellent. Even as someone who's afraid of heights, I wasn't afraid to ride the chairlift at Amanohashidate, although you could actually take the cable car. Furthermore, I felt that allocating too much time at each attraction would have resulted in a rushed experience, because Amanohashidate View Land doesn't offer many facilities for adults (children are an exception) besides chairlifts, aerial bike rides, taking photos, or having dessert. The boat trip to feed the seagulls was very pleasant, and Egan was beautiful.

Although I didn't get the buy-one-get-one-free deal on the pedestrian bridge, I saved myself the time of figuring out the transportation. The cable car was also beautiful, and everything was great!
