Totally dropped from Trip

Viator completely dropped the ball here. They sent me the tickets, but did not send me any updates on the location. I messaged them and no reply. I called them and no one picked up. Then I contacted Viator and the customer representative said I was dropped because the trip was sold out. Unbelievable. I did get a refund, but the lack of professionalism was astounding.

Scam.

A sort of scam. I received a phone call just 15 minutes before the tour from the guide. She had to cancel the tour. Because she phoned me from a private number, I decided not only to contact the tour operator but to go to the meeting point and proof that there was not any guide. Despite the evidence, they dis not reimburse me.

MASSIMO_F · April 2024

Scam

Absolut scam. The guide phoned me 45 minutes before the beginning of the tour to cancel it due to her long delay. I immediately contacted Viator and also went to the meeting point to collect evidence that the guide was not there. Sent the video and screenshots to viator but they did not issue any refund.

Not recommanded at all!

The guide was nice but the organization was awful. At our arrival, the guide wanted to change all the tour and to do something else. Then we had to pay for him the transportation fees and the ticket entrance for the temples. Furthermore, our tickets to the temples were included in the package but when we arrived the tour guide said to us that we have to pay for our tickets and for himslef. I have never seen that before that we have to pay for the tour guide (the transportation..) I have done many others tours but this one was the worst. I do not recommande this tour.

Great outing!

Learned a lot and enjoyed our guide. Sites selected helped understand the two main religions in Japan.

Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kyoto.

How much does Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kyoto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kyoto is not rushed.

Is Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kyoto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kyoto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kyoto and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Sacred Treasure Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Dera Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kyoto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Kyoto?

+

On Outty we rank every Kyoto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kyoto : Gion Make Your Own Chopsticks with Engraving Option, Award-Winning Authentic Ramen Making Experience in Kyoto, Hidden Kyoto E-Biking tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Kyoto?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Kyoto?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
