Excellent - One of our best trips in Japan. We enjoyed every moment. Feeding bowing deers was a great, once in a lifetime experience. We had a chance to see all those beautiful temples, see the giant Budda in one of biggest wooden buildings in the world, Buddhist Temple in Nara. The expositions in the Museum were amazing. Yuta was great tour guide,very kind, funny and professional, he explained historical site of establishing temple complex in Nara and a bit of history of most prominent families of historical Japan,and their influences in establishing Tokyo as a capital City. Amazing trip ☺️

Nara tour - Had a great day visiting Nara with Nanami. Her English is very good and she is very knowledgeable. She made sure that everyone had a good time on the tour. Highly recommend taking the tour with her. Definitely recommend feeding the deer in Nara, but be careful because they can be a bit aggressive once they see the food in your hands. They will nip at you until feed them. The temples were very impressive too

Mai was the best trip guide! - My parents and I were the only people for the Historical Nara & Kyoto tour on December winter day. It was basically a private tour with the wonderful Mai. She was so lovely and made the experience personal and unforgettable. She was very prepared and thoughtful in explaining the history of Nara and Uji. We got to see the great temples, shrine, and Nara Park with cute deers. Highly recommended Mai and the tour.
