managed to cover all places with a comfortable amount of time to explore each stop. Tour guide Jason provided google map directions for each meeting point, giving me freedom to roam around without the worry of getting lost. Highly recommend.
It was great, the guide did a good job in explaining the attraction and recommend us on the spots to take photos.
It was really nice. We coverd some good places in the trip
The guide Reo was knowledgeable and made it interesting.
Both adults and kids enjoyed ourselves at the Nara Park. Guide was helpful to always provide us with the location of the meeting point at each stop. He even gave map directions to nearby attractions when we found we still had a bit of time to spare! As there are much uphill walking and stairs involved to visit the shrines. Would not recommend this tour if you are travelling with young kids. My husband ended up carrying my 3yo most of the way as the walk was too much for her.
Missed to charm. The guide wasn’t engaging!
