All the tours planned by Winnie were very good. Our guides were on time, knowledgeable and helpful. We especially enjoyed Taku and our Kyoto city tour.

Taku was an amazing guide and gave us a lot of history that helped put our tour into perspective.

We rode the metro and all went smoothly.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest E-Biking Tour

Kyoto

We had a nice ride through neighborhoods to Arashiyama and a little bit of country side. Once at the forest, you really have to walk your bikes because of the crowds. The bamboo forest was cool but not sure the bike riding part was anything special.

Transport to/from the bike shop was not included in the package. I think it should be.
Hiking Kurama-Kibune through Sacred Peaks and Ancient Paths

Kyoto

This was a great hike and the area was very cool. Beautiful forest and Tribune seemed like a neat little village. It was lightly raining so we didn't get to eat at one of the restaurants over the river but that looked like it would be a great experience.

Transport
All transport was through public transportation including a bus which took a little longer due to all the stops. Transportation was fine.
Discover Daruma Magic and the Beauty of Minoh Falls

Osaka

This area was very beautiful and we loved the falls. The description of the tour made it seem like we would hike from the Temple to Minoh Falls but we took a taxi. The guide said if we hiked it would be along the road however, the tour write up made us think the hike would be in the woods. Despite wishing we had more hiking time, we loved the experience.

What a fun tour with delicious food. We had a great time making our own okonomiyaki. The only thing we didn't get that was mentioned in the tour description was the box of Takoyaki.
