Nara, Uji, great day out - Great day out exploring Nara + Uji. The day was well paced and not rushed. Our tour guide Nanami was excellent, she spoke great English, was very funny and extremely knowledgeable. We also had an excellent bus driver by the name of Kamiya San, he made the experience even more enjoyable with his safe, cautious driving.

Nanami adventures in Nara and Uji! - Nanami is one of the best guides I've had on this trip , she was attentive to everyone in the group and ensured everyone was enjoying their time. She even convinced me to buy sweet matcha drink that was probably my favorite beverage. Truly a excellent guide ! Thank you Nanami!!!!

Nara Tour - Nanami was an excellent tour guide! We did the Nara tour from Kyoto station. She was so knowledgeable and presented a booklet with names and images for every site we went to. By far the best tour experience we had in Japan, which was because of Nanami.
