In one day, visited all the Temples and Shrines. Highly recommended. Best use of your time. Lanny San was excellent, explaining all the quirky things about the places which we visited, Japanesse and Kyoto’s culture and customaries, another places and attractions in Kyoto. We are glad to take this tour as our first day in Kyoto so we have few tips to follow through for today.

Took way to much time in and out of the bus at every stop resulting in very short time at each spot. Choose a private tour if you can.

The shrines and temples of Kyoto are some of the most beautiful I've seen. The tour bus was comfortable and filled with many like minded travelers. The drawback was that the tour guide did not give the rich history of the sites we were visiting.
