Wonderful tour!

Published on May, 2025

Haru was a wonderful tour guide. Very professional and always prepared with information about each site. We probably saved two hours of our time by hiring a tour guide who knew exactly where to go and how to get there, but the added information was even more valuable.

Fun in Nara

Published on May, 2025

Hiro did a great job guiding us through Nara. Leading up to the trip he was easy to communicate with and he helped us customize the itinerary. He met us right on time at the hotel and helped us navigate through the train/bus stations. He was flexible with the schedule as it was raining when we arrived and he added a Sake tasting experience for us to get a break from the rain. He took us to a museum of the old houses of Nara and then walked with us through the deer park. Hiro planned a wonderful lunch and was very accommodating to my food allergies. We got to feed and interact with so many deer! We wandered through a beautiful garden and then back through the deer park on our way to the bus and train stations. Hiro did a great job with us!

Great Private Tour of Nara!

Published on May, 2025

Haru was our fabulous guide to the first capital of Japan, the beautiful city of Nara! He was very knowledgeable of the history and did a great job explaining the Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to us westerners. So many great sites, which were very busy because of the many spring school field trips, he kept us on time so we did not miss anything on our itinerary.

One day in Nara with Hiro san

Published on Apr, 2025

Hiro San has prepared a very insightful tour in Nara! He have sent us the schedule beforehand and organized everything in advance. Highly recommend him!

Ken is incredible!

Published on Apr, 2025

Ken is the absolute perfect guide. His English is perfect. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He is kind and patient. He is energetic. He sent me an itinerary personalized to our interests the day before and was promptly waiting in the hotel lobby with his sign. My husband and son had the best day with him exploring Nara landmarks . We couldn’t not have asked for a better experience.
