I was able to efficiently visit the tourist spots.

I used the service from JR Nara Station. I received detailed guidance from the tourist information desk located near the ticket gate. There were about 24 participants. Although the bus seats were assigned, after the participants got off at Horyu-ji, it was possible to change seats.

ＪＲ奈良駅から利用しました。駅の改札近くにある観光窓口の案内から丁寧に案内していただきました。参加者は24人くらいでしょうか。バスの座席は指定の席でしたが、法隆寺まで参加の方がいなくなった後は席の移動も可能でした。 法隆寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺などを巡りましたが、ガイドさんの案内が分かりやすく、勉強になりました。また、車の運転をしない人とっては大変効率的に主要スポットを回ることができるいいツアーだと思います。

I used a regular sightseeing bus for the first time in Nara. It efficiently took us around the famous landmarks, and the air conditioning on the bus made for a comfortable sightseeing experience. The bus guide was very knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations from historical events to the latest information, which was very meaningful. I would like to use this service again, including other courses.奈良で初めて定期観光バスを利用しました。 効率良く名所旧跡を回って貰え、バス内はエアコンも効いおり快適に観光できました。 バスガイドさんは、昔のことから最新の情報まで大変詳しく、また分かりやすく解説され、大変有意義でした。 他のコースも含めまた利用したいと思います。

An efficient tour to learn about Nishi no Kyo.

Since our accommodation was right next to JR Nara Station, we could easily get to the meeting point (bus stop). It was my first time in Nishi no Kyo, and I thought it would be a bit challenging to visit all the sites using public transportation, so I decided to join the tour, and it was definitely the right choice. If you have some sense of geography in Nara from previous visits, it might be different, but if not, I highly recommend this tour.宿泊先がJR奈良駅のすぐそばでしたので、集合場所（バス停）にもすぐ簡単に行けました。西ノ京は初めてでしたので、公共交通機関を使用して全行程を訪れるのは少々ハードルが高いと思い当該ツアーに参加しましたが、大正解でした。もし初回でなくある程度奈良に地理感覚があれば、別ですが、そうでない場合は、非常に勧めです。

The veteran guide created a very pleasant atmosphere. Horyu-ji has impressive exhibits, but if you spend too much time at the beginning, you'll rush through the second half. Be careful. The monk's talk at Yakushi-ji was interesting, but if you listen closely, you won't have enough time for the visit. Be careful.ベテランガイドさんでとても良い雰囲気でした。 法隆寺は展示物が見応えありですが、最初から時間をかけすぎと、後半駆け足になります。ご用心あれ。 薬師寺のお坊さんの話しは面白かったですが、じっくり聞くと拝観時間が足りなくなります。ご用心あれ。

It had been decades since my last visit to Nara. I was a bit anxious about the sightseeing bus that would take a whole day, but I was glad that we could smoothly visit all the places I wanted to see, starting with Horyu-ji Temple. I was worried about walking, but the guide's explanations were excellent, and I was able to enjoy the tour. Moreover, I was impressed by the guide's clarity and memory. Considering the entrance fees and such, I think it was very reasonably priced.数十年ぶりの奈良観光でした。 一日かけての観光バスには少し不安もあってのですが、法隆寺をはじめ行きたかった所をスムーズに回れて良かったです。 歩くのは不安があったのですが、ガイドさんの説明も良く、楽しく観て回る事ができました。 それにしても、ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすいのと、記憶力には感銘しました。 入場料など考えればとても割安と思います。

Many historical figures from Japanese history appeared during the tour. Being there in person, seeing the sights, and hearing the stories made it feel much more real.
This was my first time on a bus tour, and I thought it was quite a good option for travel. 残念ながら、雨、途中で大雨の１日でしたが 傘の用意やお迎えの心遣い、素晴らしかったです。
I was able to slowly enjoy visiting various temples.

Until now, I had only visited Nara through bus tours from my hometown, Okayama, but participating in a local tour using the Shinkansen was really great. It was my first experience having so much time to explore. Next time, I want to come to Nara in the fall.今まで奈良は、地元岡山からバスツアー以外は来たことが無かったのですが、 新幹線を使って現地ツアーに参加するのは、とても良かったです。 こんなに時間たっぷりで、見れたのは、初めての経験です。 次回は、秋の奈良に来たいと思っています。

This time, I went out to review the history of Nara. I planned to walk around the area close to the city center and request a tour for the wider area. We carefully visited essential points, making it a very enriching experience. The guide's explanations were thorough and insightful, which was very educational. However, it seemed quite challenging for them to keep talking during the car rides. Thank you very much.今回は奈良の歴史のおさらいに出掛けました。 市内中心部に近いエリアは歩いて、広いエリアは今回のツアーにお願いする計画でした。 外せないポイントを丁寧に周っていただき、とても中身の濃いい時間になりました。 ガイドさんのお話もきっちり肝を押さえていて、勉強になりました。 それにしても、車内移動中、ずっとお話していてたいへんそうでしたけど。 ありがとうございました。

Amidst the howling cold wind, I participated in a one-day tour. The guide stood the entire time and shared stories without interruption. It would be quite difficult to explore all of this on my own, but it was very enjoyable to have the tour guide lead us. I am very satisfied. The driver also greeted us every time we got on and off, which felt very nice. Thank you very much!冷たい風が吹き荒れるなか、1日ツアーに参加 ガイドさんはずっと立ちっぱなしで、途切れる事なくお話しをしてくれました 個人でこれだけまわるのは大変ですが、ツアーでまわってもらってとても楽でした とても満足です 運転手さんも乗り降りするたびに挨拶してくださり、とても気持ち良かったです ありがとうございました

The meeting time isn't too early, so you can participate even if you don't stay overnight in Nara city. The itinerary is stable, the sightseeing bus company is reliable, and if you get a veteran guide, the explanations flow smoothly—it's an excellent plan all around.

This time, the plan included lunch (after Hōryū-ji and Chūgū-ji, we had kamameshi), and the itinerary was carefully calculated to ensure that we could start eating as soon as we arrived at the lunch venue, perfectly timed with the cooking of the kamameshi (the coordination along the way was impressive).
The guidance for the goshuin (temple stamps) was also perfect (don't forget your goshuin-chō!). Once we entered the temple grounds, we weren't guided at every single location; instead, we had some flexible free time for exploration, allowing us to move at our own pace according to our stamina.
Overall, it's a flawless and outstanding plan! 集合時間もそれほど早くないので、前泊が奈良市内でなくとも参加できます。 安定の行程、安心の観光バス会社、（ベテランのガイドさんに当たれば）淀みなく繰り出される説明、どれを取っても最高なプランです。 今回は昼食（法隆寺→中宮寺終了後 釜めし）付きのプランでしたが、釜めしの炊き上がる時間までキチンと計算された行程（途中の連携が素晴らしいのですね）で、昼食会場に着いたらすぐに食事を始めることができました。 御朱印のご案内も完璧です（御朱印帳をお忘れなく！） 境内に入ってからは全ての場所を付きっきりでガイドをし… 集合時間もそれほど早くないので、前泊が奈良市内でなくとも参加できます。 安定の行程、安心の観光バス会社、（ベテランのガイドさんに当たれば）淀みなく繰り出される説明、どれを取っても最高なプランです。 今回は昼食（法隆寺→中宮寺終了後 釜めし）付きのプランでしたが、釜めしの炊き上がる時間までキチンと計算された行程（途中の連携が素晴らしいのですね）で、昼食会場に着いたらすぐに食事を始めることができました。 御朱印のご案内も完璧です（御朱印帳をお忘れなく！） 境内に入ってからは全ての場所を付きっきりでガイドをしてもらうわけではなく、臨機応変に自由散策の時間ももらえますので、自分の体力に合わせて巡ることができます。 とにかく、非の打ち所がない最高のプランです！

The bus guide and the driver were very accommodating, and their explanations were detailed, so I highly recommend it!

The weather was a bit disappointing and cloudy, but I was able to experience the wonderful history that is different from Kyoto, known as the ancient capital. The guide's explanations were helpful, and I was able to learn more about the beauty of Japan. The lunch was delicious kamameshi, and in the afternoon, the tea was wonderful, enjoyed alongside the beautiful scenery. It was a one-day tour, but it was a very enjoyable time without any boredom.お天気が少々残念で曇りでしたが。、古都で知られる京都と違った素敵な歴史に触れる事が出来、ガイドさんの説明も参考になり日本の良さを改めて勉強できた。 ランチも美味しい釜飯、午後にはお茶が素晴らしく景色ともに堪能しました。 1日ツアーですが飽きる事なくとても良い時間でした。

My trip to Nara, especially visiting the areas of Hōryū-ji and Tōshōdai-ji, was best experienced through a bus tour. I considered taking the train and walking, or even renting a car, but I might have just reached my destinations without fully enjoying the journey. I believe this would have been especially true for middle-aged and older travelers. I'm grateful for the wonderful tour that was organized for us. 奈良の旅、特に法隆寺、唐招提寺の二つのエリアをまわり、いにしえの旅を味合うには、バスツアーが最高でした。電車と徒歩、あるいはレンタカーも考えましたが、目的地にたどり着いて終わりということになっていたかもしれません。特に中高年者にとってはそうなっていたと思います。すてきなツアーを組んでもらい感謝しています。

The driver was always very safety-conscious and, while modest, showed a wonderful and kind personality. I'm really glad I booked this.
