Review for: Nara Uji Onsen - Pick-up and drop-off at designated locations

I joined the Nara Onsen tour today, and the overall experience was fantastic! The tour guide, ViVi, was very thoughtful. From the start of the tour, she clearly informed us of the meeting point, license plate number, and time, so we didn't have to worry about not finding the bus at all. She also led us to the boarding point along the way, providing very attentive service. The overall time arrangement was just right, not too rushed and not boring. The itinerary was very smooth, making it a comfortable and relaxing Nara Onsen trip. Highly recommended!

Review for: Nara Uji - Pick-up and drop-off location

The trip was great and guide lovely giving lots of info on the bus then just dropped us off to explore on our own. You don't get long at the first site whete there are two sights to see but you only get time for one so need to choose then the second site you get chance to go to an Onsen but if you decide not to you get four hours to have a spot of lunch then wander with not much to go to. Would have preferred more time at the deer park.

Review for: Nara Uji - Pick-up and drop-off location

the tour was just paying for the driver and someone who organized when to stay where at what time quite poorly. (It was first time of person, that untertandable he needed to learn but unfortunately I don't want to pay for that experience as I paid for a tour). If you prioritize having a driver and going in group take this experience but other than that you can go yourself to Nara and stay there as much as you want.
