1.From Kyoto/Osaka: Kyoto Top Highlights 1-Day Guided Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 714 reviews · 9 hours - 570 minutes · from $51Our pick

Kyoto in one day by bus: Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama, with tickets and a guide.

“We have had the best day today visiting some beautiful places. Jewel, our guide went above and beyond all day and we learnt some really interesting facts from her. It was extremely hot and humid today so if doing this in the summer I recommend you bring a cloth or towel, hat, lots of water (although plenty of opportunities to top up) and comfortable clothes and shoes. I wouldn’t recommend for families with very young children because of the heat and the distance we covered.”
