5.00Amazing tour!! Shin was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable, kind, incredible personality. Can't express my gratitude for his time and for sharing with us all the history of Nara. If I need to rate him and the whole experience, it will be 20 out of 10, 5 star. He even took me to get a Furoshiki. Thank you Shin! Be careful with the deers, they are very pushy, specially in the morning😁, but they are very courteous and will bow for you.

5.00This was a fantastic way to spend our day in Nara. Yuki was a wonderful guide, very friendly and knowledgeable about each place we went. We loved getting to see all of the temples and feeding the deer! And we never would have found the delicious lunch spot without this tour.
Nara & Nao = Magic!

5.00This experience was exactly what we were looking for. Going here is a definite must see. Nao was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She was engaging, and energetic. Nao took the time to get know each of us which was a nice personal touch and made us feel comfortable and appreciated. This itself showed how much she loved her job. Nao was very informative and explained things in great detail including our lunch! The set up she had for the tour was perfect and she was able to keep us away from big crowds. To Nao- thank you for such an amazing tour. We will remember it always!
Very informative tour...
