5.00Nara seemed difficult to do out of Osaka without a tour. I was right about that, this was the best way to go. Only four of us, two Indians from Goa and my wife and I. Be ready for a busy walking and climbing day, but worth it. Pickup and drop off were easy and convenient.
Great Experience!!

5.00We had a wonderful day trip from Osaka to Nara with our guide Andy and driver Toro! Andy was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and shared great information throughout the tour. Toro was so well-mannered and an excellent driver — we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend them both!
Andy and Tom for the win

5.00Andy and Tom were an amazing team that facilitated a truly amazing excursion. We covered a lot in one day, which would have otherwise taken us hours on hours to complete. Sit back and let them guide your way. Great for first timers or anybody looking to scope Kyoto out.
Great tour. A must.
