Incredible day trip to Nara!
David_L, Apr 2024
Alex was an incredible guide! We had a wonderful time exploring Nara and learning about Japanese culture. Alex was patient enough to wait for us arriving quite late due to a mix-up in my notes. Such an amazing day! Highly recommend this tour and Alex!

Milos made it a fun day. He took us to all the major sites and was very informative. We had a new friend by the end of the day.
Fun and informative day in Nara
Bob_R, Mar 2023
Our guide Alex Delivered a very informative and fun day. He has a vast knowledge of the history and culture of both Kyoto and Nara which he shared with us at Nara and during our escorted train trip to and from Nara & Kyoto. He brought Nara to life for us with extensive detailed information on each historic site. His friendly manner and excellent English allowed for great discussions on the past and current culture of Japan. It made for a very educational and enjoyable day despite the large crowds.
