A truly memorable experience.

Published on Jul, 2024

We enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide, Emiko, was marvelous. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. The deer were fun and playful. Both the Shrine and temple were wonders to behold. It was truly a great tour that we would recommend to others.

Good tour for family

Excellent tour

Published on Apr, 2024

The tour company was one of the best ones I have worked with. My husband and I were taking cruise in Japan. We signed up with this company on a half day Nara trip. The company offered to pick us up in Osaka even though they start the trip from Kyoto. The tour guy provided lots of information about the temple and Japanese culture. We enjoyed the trip every much.

Great experience

Short but very well organised. Ideal for family with young kids. Feeding the dears was the best part!

Good Time
