Things to do in Nara Prefecture

Our tour guide (Theodore Chen) is great for the job. Humorous and makes the trip very interesting, telling facts about Japan better than my school! The instructions were clear. The option to drop off at Kyoto — which we did — was great, so we didn't have to sped extra money coming to Kyoto from Osaka.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.

This was my first time doing a Kyoto tour, and I'm extremely satisfied! It was a tour that will leave many lasting memories. Our guide was incredibly kind, explained everything so well, and made it easy to understand, which I really appreciated. Unlike some other tours where guides can be a bit stiff, our guide was very friendly and even recommended nearby restaurants, which was wonderful. I feel like I learned a lot more about Japan through this tour! If I get the chance again, I'd love to meet Guide Oh Seok-bong again! It was such a fun and informative time! I highly recommend it! You won't regret this tour. Guide Oh Seok-bong, I wish you even greater success!!!

the trip is memorable and cover most of the place in kyoto. The only downside for this tour as the itininery os very compact .you will need to take lunch on the go ( in the bus ) if you want to finish all the intinery . Nothing to complaint .The only negative point for this tour is the tour guide didn't have whatsapp and he didnt whatsapp us to confirm the trip . Tip: should skip the bridge and straight go to bamboo forest / skip lunch

Our NIKO guide did a wonderful job on this trip. There were no recommendations for specific souvenir shops or meals, and they provided explanations of Japanese history in Chinese and English that went beyond the basics, so nothing was neglected. Although there were seniors and children together, we moved on time without any inconvenience or delays. The majority of the tourists were Taiwanese families, but there were also some Koreans, Indians, and Americans. I recommend this trip.

we enjoyed the trip. the guide was easy to understand and was very helpful by sending us time updates and location links. her guide for food and shops are a great help also. much recommended our Guide Vivi

The tour was organized and we left the meeting point on time. Finally, I got to see the Fushimi Inari Shrine and pass through the Torii Gates! Met the Nara deers personally and got to experience riding the Rickshaw going to the Bamboo Forest. Such a great experience!

Our tour guide Ms Vivi is friendly and helpful . She give us google map of the places to visit at the itinerary place,and when we are lost ,give us google map to assist us to get to our bus. She even lent me her power bank to charge my hp. Highly recommend of her excellent service .

It was my first trip to Japan with just my son, so I was hesitant, but I ended up using this tour. I was very worried, but thanks to our guides Ruri and Woohee, who are fluent in both Korean and English, and the bus driver who drove us safely, I was able to have a fun tour with my son. The places they recommended at each tour point were also great. I plan to use the tour again next time. I hope I can see you again then~! Thank you!
