Wonderful tour of Nara park and other major historical sites. Lunch presentation is both artistic and tasteful, highly recommended! Tour guide Mai is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in every way. Some people need to be aware of some relatively long walking over 15 minutes between bus parking lot and the actual historic site.

This was probably my favorite experience we have had in Japan so far, and a big reason for that was our tour guide Nanami. She was incredibly knowledgeable and focused on ensuring all her guests had a good time. I loved the variety of activities this tour entailed, and I learned a ton about historic Japan, matcha, and the culture. Highly recommend you book this on your trip!
