★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 2,034 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $27Best value

Review of Kyoto’s hop-on hop-off bus, with route details, temple stops, ticket value, audio guide, timing tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I enjoyed riding around the city. I took the first bus all the way around to decide where I wanted to stop. Each full circle was about 45 minutes. The guide was extremely helpful. He helped me find stores that had Japanese candy, special Japanese coffee, and a workout facility! All were within walking distance of one of the stops on one of the lines. I would highly recommend this reasonably priced tour.”
