Excellent Tour

Our English tour guide did an excellent job, giving us the details/history on every places we visited. Both bus and train rides were comfortable without any difficulty... Buffet lunch was good.
Thank you

Nara Afternoon Tour to Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine from Osaka

Nice tour, but you could visit these places yourself.

Reviewed by: Jenna

I enjoyed this tour, but if I would go again I would rather go on my own. There is a station close to the dear park and Todaiji temple so its very accessible if you don't have a car. The other shrine was alright also, but I also do not feel a guide is necessary nor is it a must see in Japan. The gift shop we went to after was a little disappointing too, I saw nicer souvenirs at the temple.

We had excellent Tour Guides. Food was not very good, would have preferred a simple box lunch.

The arrangement to cover major attraction within short period of time in Nara and Kyoto from Osaka was great. The tour guide was speaking excellent English and was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anyone visiting Osaka.

We loved Yuki's (the tour guide to Nara) deadpan humor and engaging personality. She was thoroughly familiar with all the tourist spots and even engaged with us (the tourists) on a personal level. She communicated clearly and spoke in understandable English. Would totally recommend her as a tour guide to friends :)

Highlights of Kyoto and Nara Tour from Osaka with an English-Speaking Guide

Reviewed by: Margarita Teresa C. A.

The tour was well worth the money paid for. We had more than 3 guides who took care of us in each destination explaining every detail and even accompanied us on our way back to the Osaka Namba Station from Nara. They gave us maps and instructions to guide us back to our hotel. They were very helpful and concerned. I believe it would be hard for tourists to go on their own to the destinations of this tour specifically the Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Imperial Palace because you have to secure a permit before you can enter. With this tour, all are taken cared of. We had a big group so a big bus took us from the meeting point to Kyoto. Unfortunately, there were some in our group who were always late. The guide was very polite but firmly reminded all of us to be at meeting point on time otherwise they will be left behind (which I appreciate otherwise we will have less time in all the other destinations). The Todaiji temple was just majestic. Looking at the pictures now, it really is more beautiful to see it real. We had more than enough time to enjoy Nara, feed the deers and just relax in the park. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The tour was awesome. Worth the money we paid for. Tour guides are all well informed and efficient. The lunch is delicious.
I salute tour guide CHIEKO ISHII of Sunrise Tour, in charge of Nara tour. She speaks English very well, She is very energetic, radiating her energy to all participants considering that we were all tired as it was the last part of the day tour. She add humor in telling historical accounts of all attractions.
