This was a great value for the trip. It was hard to find the pick up point in Osaka with the construction around the train station. We found it and they drove us to Kyoto and we went to the Kyoto Fushimi Imari- Takisha temple with all those Torii gates. It was so beautiful. We then drove to the Kiomiza temple which was built on a hill and was beautiful. The next stop was the Golden Temple, which was very scenic with the gardens. The final stop was the bamboo gardens which as so cool. We finally made our way back to Osaka. It was a power-packed day, but a great way to see the sites in Kyoto. We didn’t get back until after 5 pm. Luckily, we all talked the guide and driver to leave earlier from the bamboo gardens. Expect a ton of walking on this tour. Each place had the parking about a 15 minute walk away. There was a lot of climbing at the Kiomiza temple with steps and a huge hill to get there. But for the money, it was a great value. We didn’t do the lunch but ate on our own. Would highly recommend this tour.
