Overall, the experience was good. The ticketing was very easy and the bus showed up on time. Kyoto has several temples that are "must see" locations and the bus doesn't go to all of them, and probably can't because there are so many, but it would be great if a couple more were added.

Nice to have a bus to go on and the audio was good. The bus was often running behind, but traffic is understandable. It was cold, it would have been nice to have inside seating and not just up top
