奈良駅発日帰りバスツアー法隆寺＋中宮寺＋慈光院＋薬師寺＋唐招提寺＜約7時間／昼食付／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

The guide's explanation was wonderful! ガイドさんの説明が素晴らしい!

Reviewed by: くま

I happened to have the same guide for the second time, and their explanations were clear and excellent! I'm looking forward to the third time. Everywhere we went was wonderful, and it was interesting to hear the monk's stories while looking at the garden of Jiko-in. I was prepared for a lot of walking, but it wasn't that tough.

たまたま二度目のガイドさんで、とにかく説明がわかりやすく最高でした!三度目も期待してます。行くとこ行くとこ素晴らしく、慈光院のお庭を見ながら和尚さんの話が面白かった。歩く覚悟で行ったけどそんなにきつくなかった。

Nara Regular Sightseeing Bus Tour, amazing! 奈良定期観光バスツアー、最高！

Reviewed by: yo-yo-ma

The one-day sightseeing tour by Nara Kotsu, which takes you around Hōryū-ji and Yakushi-ji, was excellent. Guided by a knowledgeable and easy-to-understand guide, we were able to visit all the highlights efficiently. The balance between price and content was perfect, and I highly recommend it.

法隆寺、薬師寺などをめぐる、奈良交通の定期観光ツアー1日コースは、熟練のわかりやすいガイドさんに案内され、それぞれの見どころを絞りながら、確実に回ることができ、最高でした。お値段と内容のバランスが申し分なく、ぜひ、お勧めしたいです。

It was a tour that I want to use again and again! 何度でも利用したくなるツアーでした！

Reviewed by: jomkagi

It was sunny and hot at the time of departure, but by the time we arrived at Hōryū-ji, the weather started to look ominous, and by the time we visited Chūgū-ji, it had turned into light rain. However, thanks to this, we experienced a completely uncrowded and luxurious sightseeing trip.

I had checked the reviews before booking and was aware of the high reputation, but not only were the World Heritage sites, national treasures, and important cultural properties impressive, but the work and attentiveness of the bus guide and driver were also outstanding.

出発時は晴れて暑かったですけれど、最初に訪れた法隆寺に到着した頃から雲行きがあやしくなり、次に立ち寄った中宮寺からは小雨混じりの天候となりましたが、おかげでいずれも全く混み合うことのないがら空き状態で、本当に贅沢な観光となりました。
申込前に口コミをチェックし随分評判が高いことは認識していましたが、訪れる先々の世界遺産、国宝、重要文化財の数々はもちろんのこと、何よりもバスガイドさんとドライバーさんのお仕事ぶりと気配りが素晴らしかったです。

お抹茶とお菓子を頂いた慈光院のお庭や住職さんのお話もとても素晴らしかったです。

Reviewed by: 百代過客

Value for the tour price ★★★★★
You can efficiently see the highlights. Since the admission ticket and lunch (I didn't think it was as bad as other comments suggested) are included, I would say it's reasonable!

Guide ★★★★★
Not only did they provide information about the places we visited, but they also shared insights about other tourist spots in Nara City (so I could recognize Ikoma Mountain!), which was wonderful.

Convenience of transportation ★★★★
Even though it was a bus tour, we walked 13,000 steps, so I give it 4 stars. The grounds of the places we visited are spacious, and it's not the tour's responsibility. Compared to using public transportation, it was much easier. I recommend participating in comfortable shoes.

Personal disappointment
I think the visit to Jiko-in was unnecessary. I enjoyed the matcha and sweets, but there were similar sentiments from other participants regarding the content of the discussion. I would have preferred to spend that time exploring Daibutsuden more leisurely.

ツアー料金分の価値★★★★★
見どころを効率的に見て廻れる。参観チケット代と昼食(他の方のコメントほどひどいとは思いませんでした)も込みなのでリーズナブルと言えるでしょう！

ガイドさん ★★★★★
訪れる先は勿論、奈良市内の他の観光名所についても教えて頂き(生駒山が見分けられるように！)素晴らしかった。

移動の便利さ★★★★
バスツアーなのに13000歩も歩くので★4つ。訪問先の境内は広いしツアーの責任ではありません。公共交通機関を使って廻ることを考えたら全然楽。歩き慣れた靴での参加がおすすめです。

個人的な残念ポイント
慈光院の訪問はいらないと思います。お抹茶とお菓子を完食しておいてなんですが。ツアーの他の参加者からも同様の感想がありました(お話の内容が…)。削ってその時間分大宝蔵院をゆっくり見たかったです。

Everything was taken care of perfectly. 至れり尽くせり

Reviewed by: きりんマム

Since it was a weekday, there were just under 20 participants, and everyone adhered to the schedule, which ran smoothly. I think it would be difficult to navigate efficiently on your own, and it was very helpful that they provided information with photos beforehand about things and places that are easy to overlook. The guide's stories on the bus were informative, and the driver was very cheerful, making the experience enjoyable. Their consideration in preparing sun umbrellas and rain umbrellas, as well as attending to any injuries, was excellent, so I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

平日だったので参加者も20名弱で、皆さん時間を守られてスケジュール通りに運行されました。個人では効率良く回る事は難しいと思われますし、見落としてしまいがちな物や場所も見学前に写真つきで教えてくださったのでわかりやすかったです。バスの中でのガイドさんのお話もためになり、ドライバーさんはとてもにこやかで楽しく過ごせました。日傘や雨傘の用意や怪我の手当て等気遣いが素晴しかったので、ご縁があればまた参加したいです。

Knowledge, inspiration, and excitement! A wonderful trip to Nara (We walked a lot in the scorching heat!) 知識と感動と興奮！素晴らしい奈良旅（猛暑の中たくさん歩きました！）

Reviewed by: aki

In February of this year, I used a walking tour in Vancouver through Veltra and had such a great experience that I decided to rely on them for my trip to Nara as well.

This trip to Nara, which I had longed for, also served as a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of the manga "Hidari no Tenko," which I was obsessed with in my youth. It had been over 30 years since my last visit during a school trip.

The guide from Nara Kotsu was fantastic, with a smooth and engaging storytelling style. I was captivated and was able to explore this dream destination filled with emotion and excitement. Despite the scorching heat, I appreciated the thoughtful services like the loan of parasols and cold towels.

The sliced narazuke I bought as a souvenir at the lunch spot, Benkei, was incredibly delicious, and I regret not buying more. (To be honest, the lunch itself was a bit disappointing...)

The stories from the head priest at Jiko-in were interesting, and my husband and I found ourselves excitedly discussing them on the way home.

Traveling with a guide was more efficient than going solo, and I gained deeper knowledge from the guide's stories, making me love Nara even more.

今年２月にバンクーバー街歩きツアーをベルトラさん経由で利用してとても良かったので、この奈良旅もお世話になることにしました。

若い頃ハマった漫画「日出処の天子」聖地巡りも兼ねて念願の奈良旅へ。修学旅行以来30余年振りでした。

奈良交通のガイドさんのよどみのない話ぶりが素晴らしく、聴き惚れながら、感動と興奮に包まれて憧れの地をめぐることができました。
猛暑日でしたが、日傘の貸し出しや冷たいおしぼりをご用意いただいたりと細やかなサービスがありがたかったです。

昼食処の弁慶さんでお土産に買った刻みなら漬がとても美味しく、もっと買ってくればよかったと後悔中。（昼食自体は正直イマイチ…でした）

慈光院のご住職のお話が面白く、帰路で主人と何度もその話で盛り上がりました。

個人でまわるよりも効率良く、ガイドさんのお話から知識が深まりより楽しめ、奈良がますます好きになりました。

A budget bus tour packed with information to understand Nara in just one day. 奈良が一日で分かる情報たっぷりの格安バスツアー

Reviewed by: まほろばヤマト2024

I visited Nara with my wife for the first time since our elementary school field trip. Back then, we had a whirlwind trip over two days, visiting Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka, so my memories of Nara were limited to seeing Kofuku-ji reflected in Sarusawa Pond and feeding the deer in Nara Park.

When we decided to go to Nara this time, I initially thought about renting a car to visit the main shrines and temples. However, considering that I was unfamiliar with the area, the challenge of securing parking, the high individual entrance fees, and lacking knowledge about the shrines and temples, I felt that even if we went, it wouldn't be enjoyable. So, I searched online for a good tour plan. I happened to come across a one-day tour organized by Nara Kotsu that included Horyu-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Toshodai-ji, and I made a reservation, albeit with some skepticism about its cost-effectiveness.

Once the tour began, it turned out to be a delightful bus trip, with our skilled driver, Mr. K, ensuring safe driving, and our bus guide, Ms. Y, providing a humorous commentary filled with information about the temples we visited. The tour progressed on time and was more enjoyable than I had expected. After the trip, we stopped by an izakaya and enjoyed local Yamato vegetables and tofu dishes while sharing impressions from the tour over some local sake, creating new memories together.

　小学校の修学旅行以来の奈良見物を妻としました。当時は、一泊二日で奈良、京都、大阪を巡る強行旅行だったためか奈良の思い出と言えば、猿沢池に映る興福寺と奈良公園内で鹿にせんべいをやったことしかありませんでした。
　今回奈良に行くと決めた当初はレンタカーを借りて、主要な神社仏閣を見て回ることを考えましたが、やはり土地勘もない上、駐車場の確保、割高な個人拝観料、見学する神社仏閣に関する知識・情報がない状況では、行った事実になっても、何も面白味がないと思い、ネットでお得なツアープランを探しました。たまたま奈良交通主催「法隆寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺」等を巡る一日ツアーが目に止まり、コスパ・タイパになるツアーか半信半疑のまま早速予約を入れました。
　実際ツアーが始まると安全運転で熟練のドライバーＫさんと見学先の仏閣の表・裏の情報を交えたコミカルな話しぶりのバスガイドＹさんの息の合ったツアー劇場が時間通り進行して、予想以上に楽しいバス旅行となりました。旅行終了後は、居酒屋に飛び込み、妻と地の大和野菜や豆腐を使った料理、ツアーでお互い印象に残ったことなど肴に地酒など呑みながら、新たな思い出を作りました。

We were able to efficiently visit five locations, and the guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand. The guide was also an interesting person, which added to the enjoyment.
Nara can be challenging to explore on your own, so I recommend this for first-timers or those who want to see everything efficiently.
However, unfortunately, the meal was terrible.
If possible, I would like to see a course option that allows for a choice between including meals or having free time for meals.

五カ所を効率良く周れ、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で分かりやすかったです。ガイドさん自身が面白い方だったのでプラスαで楽しめました。
奈良は個人で廻るのは大変なので初めての方や、効率よく周りたい方にお勧めです。
ただ…残念ながら食事は酷かったです。
可能なら食事付き、食事なし（各自自由）を選べるコースを作って頂きたいです。

It was great that I could visit Kofuku-ji before the tour started, even though the boarding and alighting stations were different. After getting off at Nara Station, I strolled along Sanjo Street to buy souvenirs, making for a very fulfilling day. Since I participated in consecutive tours from the day before, I used a 500 yen refund and a 10% discount coupon per person, which made the upgraded souvenirs very well received. We walked a lot during the tour, and when including the time before and after, I exceeded 19,000 steps. I was able to see the Buddha statues and temples I wanted to see, enjoy delicious meals, and even have a tea experience at Jiko-in, making it a wonderful trip. Thank you for the recommended photo spots from the guide.

乗車駅と下車駅が違っても良かったので、ツアー出発前に興福寺を見学してからツアーに参加、奈良駅で下車後に三条通りを散策しながらお土産購入と、とても濃い1日でした。前日から連続ツアー参加でしたので、1人に付き500円戻しと10パーセント割引券を使い、少しグレードアップしたお土産が喜ばれています。ツアーもたくさん歩きましたが、前後も入れると19000歩超えでしたが、見たかった仏像や仏閣が見られ、美味しい食事と慈光院でのお茶体験までできて、良い旅になりました。ガイドさんお薦めの写真ポイントもありがとうこざいます。

It had been several decades since I last visited Nara. I had planned to explore on my own by obtaining a sightseeing map in advance, but since I only had one day, I decided to use a bus tour. I was determined not to miss any of the guide's extensive explanations. We efficiently visited famous temples, and the historical stories and backgrounds were explained in a way that kept me engaged throughout. I'm glad I participated in this tour. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to take my time exploring the attractions I haven't visited yet.

奈良駅発日帰りバスツアー法隆寺＋中宮寺＋慈光院＋薬師寺＋唐招提寺＜約7時間／昼食付／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

I was impressed by the guide's knowledge. ガイドさんの知識は恐れ入りました。

I was able to visit at a good pace without feeling rushed. There were quite a few students due to the revival of school trips. The guide's quick thinking was demonstrated in many situations, which helped us avoid any issues. Even when I had sudden questions for the guide, they kindly shared a lot of knowledge.

However, regarding lunch... I didn't have high expectations since it's typical for tours to include a stop at a souvenir shop, but I did forget about my husband's dish (a small omelet). It's not a big deal, and the souvenir shop likely makes a lot of them.

As a suggestion, it would be nice to have the option of a lunch course provided by the traditional souvenir shops, as well as a paid option for a famous Nara lunch. Since I finally visited the longed-for Nara, I would love to enjoy a delicious lunch. This was just a foodie’s opinion, but the sightseeing course was absolutely perfect.

効率よくかつ慌しくもなく、ゆっくり拝観できました。修学旅行の復活でかなりの生徒さん達。ガイドさんの機転が沢山の場面で発揮。遭遇しなくて済みました。ガイドさんに咄嗟の質問でも、丁寧にかなりの知識を教えて頂いた。
ただ昼食は・・ツアーでのお土産さんとの抱き合わせは、こんなものだなぁ〜と、期待はしていませんが夫の料理に（小さな卵焼き）忘れてましたよ。
大した事でもないし、お土産屋さんも大量に作るので・・

要望としては、従来のお土産物屋さんが提供してくれるランチコースと、追加料金ありの奈良の名物ランチが選べると良いな。
折角、憧れの奈良に行ったのだから美味しいランチ食べたいですね。
食いしん坊の意見でしたが、観光コースは大正解でした。

The destination is accessible by a local bus, but the frequency is limited, making it inefficient to get around. If it's crowded, you should be prepared to stand.

In that regard, a sightseeing bus allows you to travel efficiently without worries, and you are guaranteed a seat. Additionally, you can listen to the excellent explanations from the guide. They answered detailed questions accurately, allowing me to gain new knowledge.

I thought the cost performance was outstanding, as the price includes transportation, the guide fee, entrance fees, lunch, and tea.

All parts of the itinerary were enjoyable and educational. Personally, I appreciated the talk about tea knowledge from the head priest of Jiko-in.

行くところは路線バスも通っているところですが、本数も限られているので効率的に回れません。混んでいたら立つことも覚悟しないといけません。
その点、観光バスなら気にせず効率的に、しかも座席確定で連れて行ってくれます。
また、ガイドさんの秀逸な説明を聴けます。細かな質問も的確に答えていただき、新たな知識を得ることもできました。
移動代＋ガイドさん代＋入場料＋昼食代＋お茶代がセットでこの価格はコストパフォーマンスも抜群と思いました。

全ての行程が楽しく、勉強になりました。個人的には慈光院のご住職の茶の心得の講話が良かったです。

奈良駅発日帰りバスツアー法隆寺＋中宮寺＋慈光院＋薬師寺＋唐招提寺＜約7時間／昼食付／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

A long-awaited visit to the ancient capital of Nara after several decades. 古都奈良の数十年ぶりの観光訪問。

Reviewed by: かに

It was a wonderful day visiting the historic temples of Nara, such as Hōryū-ji, Chūgū-ji, Jikō-in, Yakushi-ji, and Tōshōdai-ji, at a leisurely pace. The bus guide and driver were both experienced and provided attentive service, for which I am grateful. Although I usually lack exercise, I walked over 15,000 steps for the first time in a while and was satisfied with the pleasant weather. Compared to Kyoto, there were fewer tourists, allowing for a more tranquil experience in this ancient capital.

法隆寺、中宮寺、慈光院、薬師寺、唐招提寺等の、歴史のある奈良の寺を、ゆったりと観光訪問でき、よい一日でした。バスガイドさん、運転手さんも、ベテランで、丁寧に接遇よく対応していただき、感謝しています。日頃は運動不足気味ですが、久々に１５０００歩以上を歩き、天候にも恵まれ満足しています。京都に比べ、観光客も少なく、落ち着いた古都の観光ができました。

The service attitude of the drivers and guides was very good. It's been a long time since my school trip to Nara, and I was satisfied to be able to carefully appreciate the Buddha statues and other sights. Thank you very much.

ドライバーさんやガイドさんの接客態度はとても良いものでした。
修学旅行以来の奈良ですが、じっくりと仏像などを観賞出来て満足です。
ありがとうございました。

Nara Historical Trip 奈良歴史旅

Reviewed by: You-chan

I departed from Kintetsu Nara Station at 10:00. At Horyu-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Toshodai-ji, I recalled my history lessons from school. At Jiko-in, I enjoyed delicious tea sweets and matcha. The bus guide had deep and rich knowledge, making for a fun time. The balance of explanations and free observation time was just right, and the guidance was also polite. It felt like a school trip for middle-aged and older adults once again.

近鉄奈良駅を10:00に出発しました。法隆寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺では学校の歴史の授業を思い出しました。慈光院ではお茶菓子と抹茶を美味しく頂きました。バスガイドさんの知識が深く豊富で楽しい時間でした。説明と自由参観の時間配分が程よく、案内、誘導も丁寧でした。中高年の再びの修学旅行？のようでした。

I don't think I could have explored everything on my own, but the guide's thorough explanations during the temple tour, along with the talk from the head priest of Jiko-in and the tea hospitality, made for wonderful memories of my trip to Nara. It was a thoroughly satisfying day.

個人で回りきれないと思いますがガイドさんの丁寧な説明でのお寺巡りと慈光院の住職のお話とお茶のもてなしも奈良の旅の思い出になり充分に満足のいく1日でした。
