Reviews
Nara Park is very expansive, so this tour really helped minimize the amount of walking. The package included admission to all the sites as well as deer fortune telling and deer crackers, making it excellent value for money. Ms. Yasuko was highly knowledgeable and explained each temple in great detail, which made me appreciate them far more than if I had explored on my own. For the deer feeding experience, we went up the mountain, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of the Nara area and a quieter setting with fewer people. I especially appreciated that it offered a more unique experience compared to the usual crowded deer-feeding spots.
Our Nara tour was absolutely unforgettable thanks to our amazing guide, Masako. She was incredibly informative, kind, and personable, making the entire experience feel warm and authentic from start to finish. You could truly feel her passion for the history and culture of Nara through every story and detail she shared. One of the biggest highlights was visiting Mount Wakakusa — something that made this tour stand out from all the others. Since the mountain is usually only accessible by taxi or a one-hour hike, it felt like such a special touch that this tour included it. Even more memorable, we were able to feed the deer at the top of the mountain away from the large tourist crowds. It was peaceful, beautiful, and such a unique experience we will never forget. From Todai-ji to Kasuga Taisha, every stop was meaningful because of Masako’s knowledge and genuine care for the group. Highly recommend this tour if you want a deeper and more personal experience of Nara!
Perfect Nara Park Tour 🦌🌿 I came across this tour on Instagram and decided to book it through Klook, and I’m really glad I did! The whole experience was just nice and well-paced. Our guide, Masako-san, was friendly and knowledgeable, and she explained the history of attractions and the surrounding areas really well. It was interesting to learn about the history while exploring, rather than just walking around on our own. We also had enough time to walk around, take photos, enjoy the scenery, and see the deer without feeling rushed. The tour was well organised and comfortable, which made the whole experience very enjoyable. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nara. Just one small suggestion: it would be great if drinking water could be provided during the tour, especially as there is quite a bit of walking involved. Thank you, Masako-san, for making our Nara visit such a pleasant and memorable one! ❤️
We traveled by JR train for a day trip to see the Nara deer. This guided bus tour was perfect. Mrs K led us through three stops. She was very informative and spoke English well. Feeding the bowing deer at the top of the mountain was very memorable and one of our funnest experiences while in Japan.
I thought it would be nice to take a tour where someone can run through the history of the place we were visiting and not feel terribly rushed. they were very kind and helpful. It wasn’t very hard to find where the bus was and someone was already outside waiting for us. the bus driver had great driving technique as we are always so impressed that the large bus can fit in such small places. he was super nice. the tour guides also made sure we were able to take potty breaks when needed and made sure we are aware that the deers could harm us especially the make deers as we were there during mating season so to be careful. We would love other tours when they provide more in the future. I’ve attach random photos from each place we visited.
very personable guide, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
At first I thought the price was a bit steep, but no! They pay for everything! All temple entrances, deer crackers, plus a very cute fortune telling slip with a wooden deer is included. Then you dont have to walk walk walk and wait long lines at each bus stop. Also our guide Ms Kazu was very good in explaining about the temple. The bus is also easy to see, it looks different than the other usual buses.
This half-day tour isn't too rushed, focusing on three key attractions with informative introductions. Very convenient for traveling with children. It's hot, so finding transportation yourself would be tiring; this tour is much more convenient and doesn't involve long rides. Well-organized, and the guide even helps prepare umbrellas! Thoughtful.
This tour was very enjoyable and the visit to the deer park was very popular with my 12-year-old, animal loving granddaughter. Our guide, Yosuya, was lovely. She provided very detailed information about the Shinto religion and Buddlhisn. We met the bus just outside the Nara Information Centre where there were toilets and Starbucks. The bus was comfortable on a very hot and humid day. We visited Todai-ji with its massive Buddha and Kasuga Grand Shrine and ascended to one fo the hilly areas within Nara Park to feed deer adn enjoy the vista of Nara and surrounding areas. The tour was definitely worht it.
this was a fantastic tour. Both the driver and the tour guide were lovely. The tour guide gave us a great deal of information about where we were and what we were seeing, and also about how to deal with the deer. It was a really enjoyable day and I would recommend it to anyone.
