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.

We visited Horyu-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Toshodai-ji, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand and very informative. I think it's a great tour for those who don't drive, as it allows for an efficient way to vis…

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。

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day with heavy rain at times, but the preparation of umbrellas and the thoughtful pick-up service were wonderful.

I participated in this tour the day after work, and it was perfectly fine to join alone. I was able to visit various famous spots that are difficult to reach on my own. Moreover, with Kaido-san's detailed explanations, it was a very fulfilling day.

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。

仕事の翌日にこのツアーに参加しましたが、
1人参加でも大丈夫でした。
自力では行きづらい名所を色々まわれます。
しかも、カイドさんの詳しいお話付きで、
とっても充実した1日でした。

日本史に出てきた人物が、大勢登場します。
実際に現地に行って、見て、話を伺うと
リアルさが増してきます。

バスツアーは、今回初めてでしたが、
旅の1つの選択肢として、
なかなかよいなぁと思いました。

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
