Definitely recommend great guide, great sites great explanations. Super easy and comfortable too. - This was a really interactive and fascinating tour. We learned how to pray and we were given gifts and fortunes. The guide had excellent English, answered all our questions and even took pictures of us, so helpful and kind! We went to really interesting attractions and learned so much, so seeing the sights was much more understandable and insightful. Being on an air conditioned bus getting taken around was amazing, because it was so hot! Definitely recommend!

Fun activity - We had an amazing time on our tour, and one of the highlights was definitely feeding rice crackers to the deer. The deer were so friendly, making the experience both fun and memorable. It was delightful to see them up close and interact with them in such a unique way. This tour is perfect for families and animal lovers. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nara. It’s an experience we’ll cherish for a long time!

Experience is good, English guide, can't speak Japanese can also have fun - This local Trips in Nara, Japan, is really a great bargain! The sense of experience fills up directly. I'm a zero-Japanese basic, but it doesn't affect play at all, and it's a smooth ride. And it saves a lot of traffic time and gives us more energy to enjoy the view. The final Wakayama only needs to climb the top of the mountain, the whole process is easy and stress-free. The service attitude is especially good and there are free deer cakes to feed the calves! However, it is important to remind everyone to spread out as much as possible when feeding the calf, otherwise it is easy to be surrounded by the calf. At the end of the tour, the guide gave us a full-day pass to commemorate paiko and Nara, which was convenient for the next tour in Nara. Overall, this Trips is fantastic and highly Recommended!

Perfect Nara Park Tour - I found out about this tour on the day and joined on the spot.
Our guide’s English was very clear and easy to understand.
My wife and daughter were also very happy, and it turned out to be a memorable day.
When we come back to Japan, we would like to join this tour once more.
Next time, we will book in advance to enjoy the tour more conveniently.
