Gangster deer and beautiful temples - If you want a quick taste of Nara, the amazing temples, and of course the "bowing" deer, then this tour is well worth your time. We only had a week in Japan and were staying in Tokyo, but really wanted to see Todai-ji temple and of course, the deer. So our limitations were a day trip and finding a tour that started a little later to allow us time to take a shinkansen train to Kyoto. Guide Me Japan offered a day tour of Nara highlights that started at 9:30AM which allowed us to accomplish this flawlessly. Our guide, Soichiro was prompt, organized, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. He had the energy of youth, but was mature beyond his years. If you have only a day to visit Nara, then this tour hit all the highlights as efficiently as possible, while still allowing time to enjoy what you're looking at. And plenty of time to feed those gangster bowing deer!

Rin is an excellent tour... - Rin is an excellent tour guide. He was comprehensive in all locations of our tour (Fushimi inari, Nara park, Todai-ji temple). Would request him in the future for more tours.
