Guest reviews from travelers on City sightseeing tours in and around Kyoto
Jeremy T | Traveled in August
Overall, this tour was a great experience. The tour covered an excellent range of historical and cultural sites and activities, and provided a good introduction to Japanese culture and history. The CEO was amazingly organized, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and helpful.
Ethan R | Traveled in August
It was a great tour and perfect for some with no knowledge of Japan. Honestly one of the most incredible tours of my life and now I am craving to return and go on more G Adventures.
Katri N | Traveled in July
The difficulty was, that most people in the group were not in such a good physical shape as demanded in the tour description online. Because of that, a lot of activities were cancelled and cut short. For those of us, who were really waiting for the activities (like the hikes & bike tour), this was an annoyance, I'm sorry to say. Otherwise the tour was amazing, the accommodations and food were absolutelt amazing, so were the destinations!!
NORCA S. | Traveled in July
I enjoyed the tour, its value for money, especially Ken, he was wonderful in his explanation he knew everything. The hotels were excellent. a special mention to Nadia who waited with us when the tour ended to make sure we had a hotel to stay for the night, much appreciated.
Adam. G | Traveled in July
I had an amazing time on the 13 day trip to Japan! The activities were so much fun and really well planned. The group dynamics were great, and it was such a friendly and positive atmosphere throughout. Huge thanks to our group leader, Adam, who did an excellent job making sure everything ran smoothly and that we all had the best time. Highly recommend!
Alain D. | Traveled in June
We felt like second class citizens on this tour because we spoke English, explanations during this tour was 80% for Spanish customers and barely 20% for English customers. This was very disappointing and I would recommend English speaking people use another tour company. Also, we requested a double bed during our tour and the first 2 nights of our tour we had to pay an extra 4000 to get a double room, there was no one from Europamundo around that we could talk to which was very frustrating.
