Definitely recommend great guide, great sites great explanations. Super easy and comfortable too.

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a really interactive and fascinating tour. We learned how to pray and we were given gifts and fortunes. The guide had excellent English, answered all our questions and even took pictures of us, so helpful and kind! We went to really interesting attractions and learned so much, so seeing the sights was much more understandable and insightful. Being on an air conditioned bus getting taken around was amazing, because it was so hot! Definitely recommend!

Amazing tour, comfortable, insightful, and we learned a lot. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time on our tour, and one of the highlights was definitely feeding rice crackers to the deer. The deer were so friendly, making the experience both fun and memorable. It was delightful to see them up close and interact with them in such a unique way. This tour is perfect for families and animal lovers. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nara. Itā€™s an experience weā€™ll cherish for a long time!

Perfect Nara Park Tour

Published on Jul, 2024

I found out about this tour on the day and joined on the spot. Our guideā€™s English was very clear and easy to understand. My wife and daughter were also very happy, and it turned out to be a memorable day. When we come back to Japan, we would like to join this tour once more. Next time, we will book in advance to enjoy the tour more conveniently.

"Perfect Nara Park Tour" was amazing!!

I took the English guided sightseeing bus "Perfect Nara Park Tour" and was very satisfied! The guide was very kind and easy to understand, and the bus took us to the nearest parking lot of each sightseeing spot, so it was very convenient.
