Don’t think twice- book the tour! - This really is the perfect tour! It is super efficient and our guide Makoto and driver Mr. Nakatani are AWESOME. This tours visits all the Nara spots on your list in the most comfortable way possible! You can spend your energy enjoying the beauty of Nara instead of thinking about the journey to your next site. The bus is a coach bus with comfortable seats, big windows and air conditioning. Makoto explained the story behind the symbolism and spent the perfect amount of time at each site. Admission to all sites are included and this tour get special access to admission lines and parking lots. VERY efficient and very VIP! I am so glad I booked this tour. Definitely one of the better purchases I made on my trip! Thank you for your hospitality Makoto and for your safe driving Mr. Nakatani!

Good tour of the area - Excellent experience. Nara deer feeding was one of a kind for adults and kids alike. The views from up on mountain was breathtaking. The Todaiji temple is a just a mirror to great ancient history.

Highly recommend - Kazu was so much fun to be with on tour. She gave us a nice experience and lots of historical facts. The tour itself was a good amount of sightseeing. I would recommend for families that need help exploring the Nara area.

A great day trip in Nara - This tour was a great addition to my day trip to Nara. It's a 4 hour tour that hits the highlights and let's you feed the deer on the top of a mountain. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The driver was safe and provided umbrellas for the sun and rain. I definitely recommend this tour during the summer as you get to cool down in the bus on the way to different stops.

Best trip, best everything. - Small stand at Nara station. They shyly invite you to buy a tour. This tour is a hidden gem of Nara. Tour with an English guide who will answer all your questions and tell you perfectly about the history, culture and architecture and of course the beautiful Deer’s. The air-conditioned coach is a revelation in July when it is almost 40 degrees. You feed the deer on the top after entering and not with the whole crowd. I highly recommend it.
