Kyoto & Nara Day Tour from Osaka or Kyoto

2026/10/07

The price was reasonable and it saved a lot of time from transferring trains. The whole day's itinerary was very fulfilling. The tour guide also introduced the history of each attraction. The guide was a Taiwanese guy named NICK LIU. His service was great, he was very attentive to everyone, and I recommend this for people visiting Kyoto for the first time who want to hit many spots.
