Loving Nara - This tour was amazing, we had the chance to not only visit the temples and shires but also know the culture and a lot of stories. Matthew is really knowledgeable and explained everything very well, answering to all our questions with history and fun facts! If you want to visit Nara this is your tour, and ask for Matthew, you’ll not regret it!

Great experience with guide Matthew - The tour with guide Matthew was absolutely great and a highlight on our Japan trip. We learned a lot in our conversations with Matthew, who guided us through the temples and shrines in Nara without rush. The tour had a great length and the lunch break recharged energy for the rest of the tour. Big thank you to Matthew!

Fantastic tour, Shin was fantastic tour guide. - Shin was fantastic, patient and waited for us as we were half an hour late after the taxi got lost. Highly recommend him, his English was terrific and a really nice person. Lunch was also very tasty and plentiful. Nothing was too much trouble.

Thanks Peco - Peco was a great Guide, explained everything clearly in good English, easy to understand. We learned a lot during the day, they are small groups, which helps to gain confidence with the rest of the participants in the tour. They eat a pretty rich traditional Japanese meal and include the price of entrance fees to different temples. Recommended 10/10
