Very well organised. Jaime was an excellent guide. Note that you get a car/van transfer to Kyoto and then pick up additional guests and your guide in Kyoto. Good way to see main sites with afternoon free to explore. Jaime was very helpful with directions back to Osaka. We had a very hot day and our guide took this into account well.
Thank you, Megan! We're so pleased Jaime was an excellent, well-organised guide and looked after you so thoughtfully on a hot day. The car/van transfer to Kyoto and free afternoon are part of the Tourist Japan way, balancing expert local guiding with the freedom to explore the main sights at your own pace. We'd love to welcome you back to discover more of Kyoto, Osaka and beyond!
