Rene_S, Nov 2023
Fun day outing
This was a great trip but a long day. Bus was comfortable and our guide spoke english well. Tracy was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The temples and shrines in Kyoto were beautiful and nara Deer Park was a fun stop. We were both surprised how long the day was (approximately 12 hours), unsure if we saw that detail in the listing.

Great day and amazing way to see key highlights of Nara!
We were three in our party and Elodie was fantastic. We visited Nara for the day only and this tour was the perfect way to see many great spots in a short time. My son loved the deer park and we all had a great time.

Good tour to Nara temple
Nara trip was the highlight of this tour. Our guide Chasey was very friendly and informative. We had English and Chinese speaking people on this tour. And he could speak both languages and tell us some interesting facts about the places we visited. We had to see places independently, but I had no issues with that. The tour guide instructions were clear, so everyone has returned to the bus. I could recommend this tour to everyone who has to visit several places on one day.
