Noriko took us to see so many amazing things in Nara but we never felt rushed. Her English was excellent and the itinerary was perfect. Thank you

Nara in a time crunch
Jonathan_W, Dec 2023
We were transiting from Kyoto to Osaka and thought we could squeeze in a quick trip to Nara, which this tour definitely accomplished. We did the tour with Noriko and to our pleasant surprise, her English was very good and she was able to give us a detailed background of everything we saw. The highlight definitely are the deer though! We appreciated the detailed itinerary that was sent well in advance as well as the clear instructions of the meeting spot. One tip for travellers--if you have bags and are doing a day trip like us, take advantage of the lockers in the subway line as free hands definitely make this trip more enjoyable.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We very much appreciate your taking the time to write a review! Great to know that Noriko met your expectations and that you enjoyed the famous Nara deer.
Fantastic 4 hours in Nara
Denise_H, Mar 2023
We had a wonderful afternoon with Shigeyuki exploring Nara. A very friendly and informative guide. We saw so much more than if we had been going solo. The tour is probably not suited to persons with mobility issues but I have no doubt Shigeyuki would arrange the tour to suit any ability level .
Response from Host, Apr 2023
We are so happy to know that you enjoyed your tour in Nara with Shigeyuki! There is quite a bit of walking to do, but as you wrote, the guide would do his utmost to adjust it to any ability level. Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review!
