Traveler reviews
Could be better
We found this tour to be OK as we seemed to be rushed, the pace in the market could have been a little slower to take it all in. Plus would have been better to have actually eaten in the market itself, rather than a 7min walk to a restaurant where the food was ok, not fabulous.
MUST if you’re in Kyoto!
Hikaru was a fantastic guide!! We have taken numerous guided tours and he was by far the most knowledgeable, positive and professional guide during our journey to Japan. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
Poor communication, keep yr booking email amd phone early if issue with booking.
We didn't actually go, so have no idea what it's like. Be careful to keep your booking email, as I wasn't able to open the booking on TripAdvisor, I thought it was cancelled, as all my other bookings worked fine.l, this kept taking me in a loop saying come back later. Couldn't find the original booking email. Couldn't see what day or time etc even. No communication from the company until the day before, when the money had already left my account and it was too late to cancel/move it. Unnecessary stress on our trip of a lifetime. Viator refused to listen and insisted it's too late to cancel, even though this was not the issue. Be warned!!
Fun tour
Hikaru was super friendly, informative, a delight to be with and speak with
Completely satisfied
We lived the history on our tour. Chie was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I needed to get something at the pharmacy Chie helped us find the right item immediately. In addition, my daughter asked for her help with purchasing an item. Chie didn’t hesitate at all. It was perfect. We were definitely happy with our tour and Chie as our guide.
