Kyoto: Arashiyama Day Tour with Train, Boat, and Onsen

1.Arashiyama Day Tour with Train, Boat, and Onsen

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 48 reviews · 270 minutes - 5 hours · from $150Our pick

You’ll travel through Arashiyama by scenic train and traditional boat, then walk the Bamboo Grove and finish at an optional onsen. Guide Itsuki is often praised for smooth planning, local tips, photos, and warm help. The group is capped at nine, though the train and boat portions can be busy and the day may run longer than planned.

“Had a great tour with our guide Itsuki. Everything was planned perfectly and so many local tips and information at each spot. Highlight of our japan trip. From the train ride to the amazing boat ride was all incredible and as described. A must do. Itsuki answered any questions we had prior to the day. Great local onsen to finish the day. 10/10.”

3.From Zakopane: Tatra Mountains with Hot Springs & Funicular

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · from $214Top rated

Spend six hours with an English-speaking private guide visiting Chocholow, Witow, Jaszczurowka Chapel, Wielka Krokiew, and Gubałówka. Taste oscypek and local alcohol, then relax for three hours at Terma Bania’s pools, jacuzzis, slides, and saline baths. Adam and Maciek are named guides.

“Maciek was terrific. I was the only one on the tour and we had good conversation for the entire day. His knowledge and passion for his country was evident. I left my gloves in his van, and left early the next day for Krakow. He was returning to Krakow the next night and brought me my gloves. This is above and beyond.”
