This is my first guided tour to Nara even though it’s my third visit. It was a great experience to have a guide and learn the history of Nara. I selected this tour because I was traveling with couple of friends who are first time visitors.

This was a really interactive and fascinating tour. We learned how to pray and we were given gifts and fortunes. The guide had excellent English, answered all our questions and even took pictures of us, so helpful and kind! We went to really interesting attractions and learned so much, so seeing the sights was much more understandable and insightful. Being on an air conditioned bus getting taken around was amazing, because it was so hot! Definitely recommend!
