Testimonials

Better than anticipated. We planned weeks in advance, and the day turned out to be quite wet. These buses are covered (either in the city bus style or with a rain cover sheet). Many Kyoto attractions are difficult to reach by rail, thus this was ideal. The audio tour is very rudimentary and should be improved, but we liked it and wish we had purchased a 2-day ticket because there were so many things to see. these 2 days in Kyoto were amazing.

The best method to see the sites. I rode the sightseeing bus around the complete circle, noting on the route map which spots of interest I'd want to return to and spend more time at. The route map's timetable was very useful in getting from one spot to another because the sightseeing bus operated on time. these 2 days in Kyoto were amazing.
