Things to do in Nara Park

Huahua was a fantastic guide and made our day trip to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Nara Park and Fushimi Inari so enjoyable. He looked after all of us throughout the day, making sure we knew where to go, what to see, and the history and significance of each place. He kept us all together and on time while making everything feel relaxed and easy. It was a beautiful day, made even better by having such a wonderful guide. We would highly recommend Huahua!

Today I joined this tour with our guide, Sarah. Sarah is fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English at a native level, and her pronunciation in all three languages is impressively clear and standard. Even though it rained the entire day, her thoughtful, attentive, and meticulous service arrangement made it much less stressful. This was our first time visiting Nara Park. As a word of caution, people with limited mobility or slower reflexes 🤣 probably shouldn't buy deer crackers to feed the deer. The moment we bought the crackers, stags smelled them and came running over. I was actually headbutted in the back by a stag, and fortunately, an elderly gentleman helped chase it away. Because of this, we didn't dare feed the deer directly; we quickly dropped the crackers and left. That evening, I noticed a large red welt across my back. 🙏 The tour group was very diverse, with travelers from all over, and we had a wonderful time.

Mr Shine is an excellent tour guide speaking well in English, Mandarin & Japanese. I learn a lot from him, he is very hard working on his heard of tourist. Kyoto & Nara sequence is adjusted to suit the weather. Unfortunately it rained lightly the whole day & the sun did not "shine". I stll enjoyed being guided with fond memories provided by Mr Shine. Be careful not to feed the deers as I got pushed on my back by 2 male deers who smell busicuits carried by me, dirtied my clothes! I recommend to follow Shine's offer of 6 choices lunch which you pay to restaurant yourself, A Mr Shine's value added service.

Zoey was a fantastic guide. so friendly, informative & kind & was great helping us understand the culture and language. This tour was really great. Having only a short time, we were able to fit a lot into one day. The Nara deer were a highlight for my sons. Beautiful scenery & a lot of fun.

our guide TIGER explains everything reagarding our tour and especially he make for our group consideration on our late booking for Sagano romantik ride and adjzsted his time waiting for us, thank you!

Today we had the pleasure of having Ms. Yurika as our guide, and the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we boarded the bus, she provided clear and engaging explanations about the history of the places we visited. Throughout the day, Ms. Yurika demonstrated outstanding professionalism, kindness, and dedication. She remained attentive to the group at all times, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and well-informed. Her detailed explanations of the customs and traditions of each temple made the experience even more meaningful and enriching. She was always willing to help and made sure all our needs were met, which made us feel truly cared for. Thanks to her enthusiasm and knowledge, the tour was not only informative but also very enjoyable. My family and I had an amazing time, and this experience will remain unforgettable for us. We sincerely appreciate Ms. Yurika for her time and dedication in making this day so special. Thank you very much, Ms. Yurika

I had so much fun, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish! Since it’s a self-guided tour, there was plenty of room for exploring on our own while still having the flexibility to enjoy the trip at our own pace. Our guide, HaoWen, was also very thoughtful and gave us souvenirs at the end of the trip. Would definitely recommend this tour!

this is a really good deal. got it for buy 1 take 1 promo yet the experience is as if i paid for two people. thank you Mike, our tour guide. i really appreciate the work that you’ve done and i am very impressed with how many language you could speak - it must be hard to say statements in three different languages but you pulled it off!

We had a wonderful tour with the highlight being Katsuoji Temple closely followed by Nara Park. Our tour guide, Jackie provided was very informative and nice.
