Great time! - Eri was such a good tour guide. This is my first time in an Asian country and the city of Nora is quite expansive. Having Eri, our tour guide, was a huge help to guide us around the areas and to not get lost. The food was great, and the views were amazing!

Great half-day tour in Nara - Our guide, Tammy, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that we had a great time. The tour was a very good value compared to others that we have taken. The deer in Nara were fun and the Temples and Shrines were really interesting.

Eri is great! - Eri was very informative and allowed us to take our time at every spot. She was able to answer all of our questions and encouraged us to actively participate in the cultural experiences. Lunch was also great! Feeding the Nara deer is of course a highlight, I would absolutely recommend this!

Want to see the highlights of Nara without any stress? Book this tour! - Matthew was an excellent guide to all the many attractions in Nara. He was very knowledgeable and patient, and took the time to answer everyone’s questions on a wide range of topics. The tour itself covers both Shinto and Buddhist shrines as well as the famous deer park. A great way to explore Nara and see all the highlights in a stress-free way.

Walking with a friend? Not very tour-like - We took this walking tour on 11/2 at 10:00 with Yuki. She was very friendly. However, we were a little bit disappointed with the content of the tour instead - she didn’t seem to be trained nor had a ton of information to give. I believe it is the company’s fault for not having a thorough training for their guides making sure they’re operationally ready prior to taking guests. It felt more like walking around a city with a friend vs. an informational tour that I’d want to pay money for. Honestly would not recommend to do again.
