    Great visit w tour guide Kou Ran ( Kosa) who shared tour highlights and made sure all participants were well advised and ready for a full day of sightseeing activities. Good tour, read up on history before you join for even more information. Lovely and well organized tour.

  • Weak aircon in bus and little time in Nara

    The bus aircon is warm/weak and I feel suffocated in the bus 2944. Under summer, it is physical torture. In Nara the bus parked 20 mins walk away from Todaiji temple. We are left with 30 mins by the time we reach the Todaiji temple factoring in 20 mins walk back to carpark. At most you can take a picture of the temple. These 2 factors deserve 2 stars. Physical torture! It is self guided tour. Just transport to and back.

  • Visiting Nara park is a must in Japan.
