Thank you very much. ありがとうございました。

It was great to efficiently see the difficult-to-navigate spots in Nara on our own. I appreciate the help with collecting the goshuin (temple seals) all at once.

奈良の見所で自分達で周るのが大変な箇所を効率よく観ることが出来てとても良かったです。
御朱印も纏めて預かって代行していただき感謝です。

Nara Trip 奈良旅

Reviewed by: kei

I used this tour to efficiently explore Nara.

Unlike Kyoto, Nara is more spread out, so when considering bus tours or renting a car, choosing this option was definitely the right decision. The tour ran from 10 AM to 5 PM, and the explanations from our knowledgeable guide were fantastic! Additionally, the driver and guide were very helpful with my friend who was feeling unwell.

I look forward to visiting Nara again in a different season.

奈良を効率よく廻るのにこちらのツアーを利用させて頂きました。

奈良は、京都と違って場所が離れているため、バス観光か、レンタルで車を利用するかと考えたとき、こちらにして大正解でした。
時間も10時から17時、奈良に詳しいガイドさんの説明の素晴らしかったこと！また、体調の悪い友人を運転手さんやガイドさんに大変お世話になりました。

また、季節を変えて奈良に出掛けたいと思います。

Both the guide and the driver were very polite. They answered questions properly, and it seems they have studied well. The course included both the well-known temples and some lesser-known ones that you wouldn't typically visit on your own (which were very lovely), and I was satisfied with the choices!

ガイドさんも運転士さんもとても丁寧でした。質問にもきちんと答えてくださりしっかり勉強してられるようです。コースも鉄板の寺院と個人では行かないような寺院（とても素敵でした）がチョイスしてあり満足です♪

The taxi tour was amazing!

We took a private taxi tour with four ladies. We were impressed by the driver's extensive knowledge and polite explanations, and we were moved by his excellent driving skills. At various points, the driver suggested taking commemorative photos and guided us to great photo spots. For lunch, he took us to a very delicious soba restaurant. We had a really fun time.

You can get around efficiently. 効率よく回れます

Reviewed by: マイロのパパ

This is a tour that allows you to visit various places in one day. Lunch can be arranged through the bus company for 1,000 yen, but there are not many places to eat nearby, so it's efficient to order it in advance. The talk by the monk at Jiko-in, a place you don't often get to visit, is quite insightful and beneficial. I recommend this tour for those who have limited time in Nara.

一日で色々なところを回れるツアーです、昼食はバス会社に頼むと1000円ですが、周りにはあまり食べられるところが少ないので頼んでおくと時間を効率よく使えます。なかなかいくことのない慈光院での和尚さんの話はなるほどと思うことが多くためになります、奈良で時間のない方にはお勧めのツアーです。

Hōryū-ji Temple since my middle school trip. 中学校の修学旅行以来の法隆寺

Reviewed by: きんさん

It's been almost since my middle school field trip to Hōryū-ji, so I could say it's almost my first time visiting. It seemed to be less crowded due to the timing, and I was able to enjoy it to my heart's content. Additionally, the bus guide's knowledge was outstanding, and they provided a thorough and attentive tour. Their slow and careful storytelling, along with light jokes and thoughtful consideration, was very much appreciated. I participated for half a day this time, but the experience was so wonderful that it made me want to join a full-day tour next time.

法隆寺は中学校の修学旅行以来なのでほぼ初めてと言ってもいいかもしれません。
時期的に空いていたようで心ゆくまで楽しむことができました。
また、バスガイドの方の知識が素晴らしく、つきっきりでガイドしてくださいました。ゆっくり丁寧で軽いジョークも加えたお話、きめ細かい心配りもとても嬉しかった。今回は半日での参加でしたが次は一日のツアーに参加したいと思わせる素晴らしい内容でした。

Wonderful guide ❤️ 素敵なガイドさん❤️

Reviewed by: えりなー

When planning my trip, I considered using public transportation from a hotel near JR Nara Station to head towards Ikaruga, but thinking about efficiency, I changed my mind and decided to use a bus tour this time. Generally, I prefer to travel alone and don’t usually use tours, but it was convenient and nice, and I enjoyed it!

The guide was truly wonderful, providing detailed explanations at each stop and keeping the guests entertained with light-hearted stories during the journey. Having such an excellent guide was a unique advantage of the tour.

Although the bus tour covered this route in just one day, which felt quite rushed, I didn’t feel overwhelmed because they made sure to hit all the highlights. The tea time at Jiko-in was a great break.

I would love to repeat this experience in another season.

旅行を計画した時、JR奈良駅近くのホテルから公共交通機関を利用して斑鳩方面に行こうと考えましたが、効率を考えるとバスツアーも悪くないと思い直し、今回の利用となりました。基本的に旅行は一人で行動したくてツアーを利用することは無いのですが、ラクで良いですね、味しめた^_^
ガイドさんがとても素晴らしく、訪問先での詳しい説明だけでなく移動中も軽妙なお話でお客さんを飽きさせません。優秀なガイドさんもツアーならではのメリットでした。
バスツアーでも一日でこのコースを巡るのはかなりの駆け足ですが、見どころをちゃんと押さえて回ってくれたので無理は感じませんでした。
慈光院でのお茶タイムが良い休息となりました。
別の季節にまたリピートしたいです。

I was moved by the scenery, which was like a fantastic painting! 幻想的な絵画のような景色に感動！

Reviewed by: Tommy

It was a tour with quite a steady rain. The guide explained the three locations thoroughly, which was very helpful. I was also able to request a goshuin book, so I could enjoy sightseeing without wasting any time. When getting on and off the bus, the driver kindly helped with rain gear while holding an umbrella, even though he got wet himself. At the last stop, Wakakusa Mountain, I didn't expect much because of the rain, but I encouraged myself to push through the heavy steps up the slope. And then, what do you know? The entire Nara Basin below was covered in clouds, creating a truly indescribable, fantastical view. It's still etched in my memory. At the end of the tour, I received a reward from the heavens.

ややしっかりした雨のツアーでした。三か所をガイドさんは丁寧に説明してくださいました。よくわかりました。御朱印帳もお願い出来ましたので時間余すこと無く観光出来ました。バスの乗降時には運転さんが自らは濡れながも傘をさして雨具の用意を助けてくださいました。最後の若草山は雨だから期待せず重たい足に頑張れと気合い入れ坂道を上がりました。そしたらどうでしょう。奈良盆地一面眼下は雲に覆われそれはとても言葉には表せなれない幻想的な景色でした。今でも目に焼き付いています。ツアー最後に天からご褒美をいただきました。

A satisfying tour that can be completed in one day. 1日で巡る大満足ツアー

Reviewed by: ハナちゃん

This is a course that is quite difficult to cover in just one day on your own. Moreover, it includes the admission fee. I visited Jiko-in without knowing about the Sekishu-style tea ceremony, but I was impressed by how not only the tea room but the entire grounds were designed as a tea space and still exist today. Horyu-ji and Yakushi-ji were, of course, wonderful.

個人で巡る観光では、なかなか1日では難しいコースです。しかも、拝観料こみ。
慈光院の石州流茶道のことは知らずに伺いましたが、茶室だけでなく境内全体が茶席として作られ現存している様子に感激しました。
法隆寺、薬師寺はいうまでもなく素晴らしかったです。

It was great to be able to sightsee efficiently, but it felt very rushed and the disinfection measures were lacking. 効率的に観光出来て良かったですが、物凄く駆け足と消毒がいまいち

Reviewed by: オリーブ

I'm glad I was able to visit Hōryū-ji, Chūgū-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Tōshōdaiji, which are quite far apart. I think it's a good deal since the admission fee is included. However, each temple is quite large, so it felt very rushed, and I was really in a hurry. I think if we hadn't stopped at Jikō-in along the way, we would have had more time at Yakushi-ji and Tōshōdaiji.

Due to a past injury, I can't sit in seiza, and at Jikō-in, there was a moment for seiza, but there were no chairs provided. Even though they served matcha, I couldn't stretch my legs, which was a bit of a struggle.

Also, when getting on the bus after visiting each temple, there was no hand sanitizer available. The guide was outside chatting, and there was no disinfectant prepared, which made me feel uneasy. I had watched a documentary last year that investigated a cluster outbreak on a sightseeing bus caused by the handrails at the boarding area, so I made sure not to touch the handrails with my bare hands and sanitized my hands after taking my seat.

距離が離れている法隆寺と中宮寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺を回れて良かったです。
拝観料も含まれているのでお得だと思います。
ただ、一つ一つのお寺の規模が大きいので、かなり慌ただしくて、本当に駆け足状態でした。途中の慈光院に寄らなければ、薬師寺と唐招提寺に余裕がでるのにと思います。
過去のケガで正座はできないので、慈光院では正座の場面があり椅子の用意が無く、お抹茶を出されているのに足を伸ばす訳にもいかず困りました。

また、各寺社の参拝後にバスに乗り込む際に、手の消毒はありませんでした。ガイドは外で立ち話をしていて、消毒薬の用意もなく不安でした。
昨年観光バスのクラスターの原因が昇降口の手摺だったという検証番組をみていたので、手摺は素手で触らないようにして、着席後に自主消毒していました。

Experience the charm of Nara in one day. 奈良の魅力を一日で堪能

Reviewed by: ヨコよこフウフ

We are an elderly couple visiting from Yokohama, and our experience with "Nara sightseeing is a thing of the past" was wonderful. We participated in a course that included Hōryū-ji, Chūgū-ji, Jikō-in, and Tōshōdai-ji. The guide was excellent, and the driver was also very courteous.

Despite the ongoing pandemic, we felt safe riding in a bus that has ventilation that changes the air every five minutes. The other passengers were middle-aged and older, and there were no latecomers—truly responsible individuals! All of this contributed to a delightful day.

Towards the end, we also toured the large-scale redevelopment area of the Heijō-kyō ruins by bus, and I have high hopes that "Nara sightseeing will become even more enjoyable in the future!" Thank you very much.

横浜から観光に来た「奈良観光はひと昔前」の老夫婦です。法隆寺、中宮寺、慈光院、、、と唐招提寺までを観て回るコースに参加。ガイドさんも最高、運転手さんも丁寧で最高。

コロナ禍ではありますが、5分間で空気が入れ替わる換気もしているバスで、安心して乗れました。他のお客さんも中高年で、乗り遅れる人も居らず、さすが分別のある方々! これら全てが相まって、お陰様で楽しい一日でした。

終盤には、平城京跡の大規模整備地区もバスで廻ってくれましたが、「将来はますます奈良観光が楽しくなるぞ! 」と、大いに期待が持てます。有難うございました。

A fun adult school trip. 楽しい大人の修学旅行

Reviewed by: dokinn

This was my second visit to Nara, following last year. This time, I participated in an "Adult Study Tour" that included famous temples such as Hōryū-ji. I heard that bus tours resumed in October due to the impact of COVID-19, but there are still days with fewer participants. This time, there were over 20 participants.

Since this tour included a guide's explanations, we were able to visit the temples efficiently and effectively. For lunch, we didn't place an order and ate on our own, but I was anxious about whether we would make it back in time due to the slow service. In the end, I managed to eat my soba in just five minutes. Considering that tourist numbers are expected to increase, it would be safer to request lunch in advance.

昨年に続き２度目の奈良。
今回は法隆寺他の有名なお寺を巡る「大人の修学旅行」でした。
コロナの影響でバスツアーは１０月に再開されたそうですが、日によっては参加者が少ない時もあるそうです。今回は２０名を超す参加者がいました。
このツアーはガイドさんの説明もあるので要領よくまた効率よくお寺を巡ることができます。
お昼は注文せず自分たちで食べましたが、出てくるのがおそく集合時間に間に合うのかハラハラしました。結局、おそばを飲み込むように５分で食べました。これから観光客が増えることを考えると、やはり昼食もお願いしたほうが安心です。

Reviewed by: いまじ

It was my first visit since the school trip in middle school. The area around Nara Park was very crowded with tourists, but the tour itself had relatively few participants, allowing us to ride comfortably on the sightseeing bus. It was my first time visiting Jiko-in, and I was able to fully immerse myself in a relaxed atmosphere. With the support of our guide, I was able to receive stamps at all the places we visited. There were many stops, and we walked quite a bit, but the guide was considerate of our walking pace, making it a fulfilling day overall.

中学校の修学旅行以来の訪問でした。
奈良公園周辺は観光客で非常に多かったですが、ツアー自体は、まだそれほど参加者は多くなく、ゆったり観光バスに乗ることができました。
慈光院は初めての訪問でしたが、特にゆったりとした気分に浸ることができました。
御朱印については、ガイドさんのサポートもあり、全ての訪問先で受け取ることができました。
訪問先も多く、それなりに歩きますが、ガイドさんも歩くペースを配慮していただけますので、充実した一日を過ごすことができるコースだと思います。

I was grateful to be able to efficiently visit so many temples and shrines in just one day. Since parking is limited, I thought it would be impossible to visit them all in a short time on my own. I believe this tour is valuable as a gateway experience to とにかくこれだけ多くの寺社を一日で効率的に回れたことはありがたかったです。駐車場なども限られている為個人では短時間ではとても回るのは無理だと思いました。まずは広く浅くとにかく多くの有名寺社を一度回ってみるという登竜門的なツアーとして価値のあるツアーだと思います。

Reviewed by: トウザイナンボク

Most memorable place:
I was not familiar with Jikō-ji, but it had a different charm compared to the luxurious buildings and statues of other temples and shrines. Moreover, it was not just about sightseeing; sitting in the hall and experiencing a monk's lecture along with matcha service made it a very good choice for the tour, for which I am grateful. I would like to see tours that include facilities off the main route planned as the next level of tours.

About the guide:
The guide's explanations covered the necessary points and were helpful, but on the other hand, they felt somewhat scripted and lacked interest. It seemed like they were trying to explain everything, which didn't leave a strong impression. I felt it would be better to select content more carefully and add some variation. Additionally, when I asked whether Tōshōdai-ji has a pagoda, the guide couldn't answer, possibly due to a lack of prior knowledge. I think it would be beneficial to have some additional background knowledge beyond what is in the manual.

一番記憶に残った場所：
慈光寺は不知だったのですが、他の寺社の豪華絢爛な建物や仏像とは異なる趣で、しかもただ見て回るのと違い、広間に座って僧侶の方の講和と抹茶サービスという体験ができてツアーとして非常によいチョイスだったと感謝します。
こういうメインルートとははずれた施設を巡るツアーなども次のレベルのツアーとして企画してもらいたいところです。

ガイドさんについて：
ガイドさんの説明は必要なポイントをカバーしていて参考になりましたが、一方でややマニュアル通りで面白みがない、何でもかんでも説明すればよい、的な感じであまり心に残りませんでした。もう少し内容を取捨選択して抑揚をつけた方がよいと感じました。
また、唐招提寺には塔はないのですか、という質問には事前知識がなかったのかお答えいただけなかったのですが、マニュアルに載っている内容だけではなく多少の周辺知識も身につけておいた方が良かろうとは思いました。

It was the season of autumn leaves, so overall, I was very satisfied. Hōryū-ji, Chūgū-ji, and Yakushi-ji truly convey a sense of history. Although the weather was cloudy, I was able to visit without using an umbrella, and my heart felt like it was under clear skies. When heading to Jikō-in, I was grateful for the kindness of the driver who assisted with crossing the road.

Reviewed by: teram24ka3

I joined the tour because I wanted to visit Hōryū-ji, which is difficult to access without a car. I had only visited Hōryū-ji once during my student days. Contrary to my faint memories, the grounds are very spacious. I was able to see the key points thanks to the tour, and I'm glad I went. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit Chūgū-ji as it is currently under restoration, but I think the slower pace allowed me to appreciate the various sites, so it wasn't a bad pace at all. The talk from the head priest at Jikō-in and the tea time were also calming moments. Thanks to the guide's explanations, I was able to gain knowledge and explore; otherwise, I might have missed the highlights if I were on my own without prior research. This is one of the great things about bus tours. The flavor of the bento was decent, but the Nara pickles introduced there were delicious, and buying them as a souvenir was a great decision.

Also, the guide kindly reminded us about the goshuin before the tour, so I was able to leave my goshuincho and receive it afterward without having to wait in line, which was very helpful.

Compared to Kyoto, there are fewer people, so I was able to enjoy temple visits in Nara at a relaxed pace.

車なくては個人でアクセスしにくい法隆寺に行きたくて参加しました。学生時代に一度しか訪れた事がない法隆寺。微かな記憶とは違ってとても広い敷地。そこをポイント押させて見れたのもツアーのおかげ。行けて良かったです。中宮寺はあいにく復元中ゆえ行けませんでしたが、その分各所ゆっくり見れたのではないかと思うと、このペースは悪くなかったです。慈光院でのご住職のお話とお茶タイムも落ち着いた時間でした。ガイドさんの案内や説明があったから知識を得て回れたし、個人だと予備学習せねば見どころを抑えられずに通り過ぎてしまうのでは、と思うとそこはバスツアーの有り難い所ですね。お弁当のお味はそれなりの味ですが、そこで紹介させた奈良漬は美味しくてお土産に買って大正解でした。
御朱印も、ガイドさんが見学前に声を掛けてくださるので御朱印帳預けると見学後にもらえ、並ばずもらえるのは有難かったです。

京都に比べると人も少な目ですし奈良は落ち着いてお寺巡りできました。

I especially recommend it for first-timers. 初めてには特におススメです

Reviewed by: 奈良好き

It was great that the tour included places that are difficult to access without a car, and with the guide's explanations, we were able to visit efficiently. Additionally, I was very grateful that the guide collected the goshuin for us, which was helpful given our limited time.

I was a bit worried after reading comments about unpleasant dining experiences, but it was nice to see that there were designated seating arrangements for one and two people, and the guide provided assistance, showing that improvements have been made.

There was someone who didn't show up at the meeting point (even though the guide arrived more than 10 minutes early, they said they weren't there and seemed to have gone to the next location on their own), which wasted quite a bit of time, but in the end, we were able to conclude the tour on schedule.

車なしでは行きにくい場所がセットになっており、ガイドさんの説明もあり、効率的見学することができて良かったです。
また、見学中にガイドさんが御朱印を貰ってくれたので時間のない中で非常にありがたかったです。
食事で嫌な思いをしたコメントを読み少し心配でしたが、1人席、2人席と決められていて、ガイドさんが案内もしてくれ、改善されているのも好感が持てました。
途中で集合場所に現れない人が居て（集合時間の10分以上前にはガイドさんは来ていたのに、居なかったと言っていて、次の場所に勝手に行ってしまっていたようです）かなり無駄な時間を使ってしまいましたが、結局は予定通りの時間に解散することができました。

I was able to catch a glimpse of representative temples in Nishi-no-Kyō, such as Chūgū-ji. 中宮寺など西ノ京の代表的なお寺を垣間見れました

Reviewed by: いちよん

It was a rather rushed tour, but I was able to grasp the main points. Based on this experience, I would like to take my time and explore at my own pace next time. Particularly impressive were Chuguji Temple and the Suzaku Gate of Heijokyo that I saw from the bus window at the end.

慌しく駆け足に近いツアーでしたが、ざっと把握することが出来ました。今回の体験を元に、次はマイペースで時間的に自由な廻り方をしたいと思います。中宮寺と、最後にバスの窓から見た、平城京の朱雀門が特に印象的でした。

Enjoying autumn in Nara. 秋の奈良を堪能

Reviewed by: あさみ

I have visited Nara several times for sightseeing, but I had only been to major tourist spots like Nara Park. Since it was a bus tour, I was taken to places I had never been before, and I was really happy to be able to visit many national treasures and other fascinating locations. The autumn weather was pleasant, and the guide's explanations were clear and thorough, making for a wonderfully quick day.

奈良には何度か観光に訪れたことがありましたが、奈良公園等の主要な観光地しか行ったことがありませんでした。バスツアーということで、行ったことのない場所へ連れて行ってもらえて、多くの国宝仏をはじめ、魅力的な場所を巡ることができて本当に楽しかったです。秋の気候も気持ちがよく、またガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく丁寧で、あっという間の１日でした。

Hōryū-ji in the rain 雨の法隆寺

Reviewed by: レモネード

Although it was unfortunately rainy on the day of the visit, the gentle autumn rain actually meant fewer people around, which made me feel relieved about the concerns regarding COVID-19. I found a perfect half-day tour to Hōryū-ji, which I had wanted to visit for a long time despite its proximity, and it was also eligible for the Go To Eat Travel campaign, so I felt very lucky. Of course, it can be enjoyable alone, but I really felt that having a guide's explanations made a significant difference in understanding the history. It turned out to be a very memorable day.

当日はあいにくの雨模様でしたが、しっとりとした秋雨で、かえって人出も少なく、コロナ禍の心配が少なくてよかったと思います。
近いのに中々いけなかった法隆寺に、ちょうど良い半日ツアーを見つけ、Go To Eatトラベル対象にもなっていて、とてもラッキーでした。
もちろん1人でも楽しめますが、やはりガイドさんの説明があると、歴史の理解度が違うと感じました。
とても思い出に残る1日となりました。

The guide was amazing. ガイドさん最高

Reviewed by: TAKAKO

There were times when the rain made me feel gloomy being alone, but the guide led us energetically, turning a day with unmotivating weather into a fulfilling one. The guide was also very easy to understand. The optional meal was a great value at 1,000 yen. This option is definitely worth taking.

時々雨で一人だと憂鬱になるところでしたがしたが、ガイドさんがグイグイリードしてくれて、やる気の出ない天気の一日を充実した一日にすることができました。ガイドもとてもわかりやすかったです。オプションの食事も1000円ではコストパフォーマンスが良かったです。このオプションは受けるべきです。

The high admission fee includes everything, so it's quite a good value for money.
Hōryū-ji: 1500 yen
Chūgū-ji: 1000 yen
Ocha no Tera: 1000 yen
Yakushi-ji: 1000 yen
Tōshōdai-ji: 1000 yen

I feel like it was around this much...

高い入館料が全て含まれているのでかなりコスパがいいです
法隆寺　1500円
中宮寺　1000円
お茶の寺　1000円
薬師寺　1000円
唐招提寺　1000円

くらいはした気がしますので、、、、、

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ゆうこ

It seems that the impact of COVID-19 is still lingering, as there were few people at each temple, allowing for a leisurely visit. I visited five temples and walked over 10,000 steps, and there were times when I had to take off my shoes to enter the tatami rooms, so I recommend wearing comfortable and easy-to-remove shoes.

The guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, and there were many things I would have missed if I had gone on my own. The driver was also kind, and thanks to both of them, it was an enjoyable tour. Thank you very much.

コロナの影響がまだ残っているのか、
どのお寺も人が少なくゆっくり見学出来ました
五ヶ所のお寺を周り、1万歩以上歩くのと、座敷に上がる事もあり
歩きやすく脱ぎ履きしやすい靴をお勧めします

ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で分かりやすく、
個人で行ってたら気づかなかった事もたくさんありました
運転手さんも親切で
お二人のお陰で楽しいツアーでした
ありがとうございました

Revenge School Trip リベンジ修学旅行

Reviewed by: しかまろ

My daughter caught the flu the day before her school trip, so she couldn't go to Nara and Kyoto. Therefore, I planned a revenge school trip to Nara just for her this time. To make the most of our time, we signed up for this tour on the second day. Both the guide and the driver were very kind, accommodating us even during traffic jams, and they lent us umbrellas during a sudden rain. We also received a Bambi mascot as a souvenir for the kids. The tour was quite rushed, almost like a sprint, but I realized that without this pace, we wouldn't have been able to see so much. Overall, I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

娘が修学旅行の前日にインフルエンザになり、行くことが出来なかった奈良京都。そこで、今回は奈良に絞って娘のためにリベンジ修学旅行を計画しました。
効率よく回るために2日目にこのツアーに申し込みました。渋滞時の対応含めガイドさんも運転手さんも親切にしてくださり、急な雨にも傘を貸してくれたりしました。子供のお土産にバンビのマスコットも頂きました。かなり時間的に慌ただしく小走りのようなツアーでしたが、このくらいでないとあれだけ回れないんだなーと思いました。全体的に満足です。ありがとうございました。

貸切観光タクシー奈良公園めぐり古都奈良おすすめコース＜3時間／1～9名／奈良発＞by 服部タクシー

It was good that we could enter Nara Park by taxi. 奈良公園にタクシーで入れたことはよかったのですが。

Reviewed by: ピスタチオ

I was glad that I could explore Nara Park by taxi, but I was disappointed by the somewhat rigid response. I had such a great experience when I used it in another prefecture that this feeling arose. I'm sorry. However, I do think they tried their best to listen to my requests and responded earnestly.

奈良公園をタクシーで回れたことはよかったのですが割と杓子定規的な対応が残念に思いました。他県で利用したときがあまりにもよかったのでこのような感想を抱きました。ごめんなさい。しかし、できるだけ希望を聞き入れて下さり一生懸命対応していただけたと思います。

奈良定期観光バス｜東大寺＋春日大社＋興福寺世界遺産の三社寺を巡る半日バスツアー＜約3時間／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

The tour itself is great! ツアー自体は良いです！

Reviewed by: れおママ

The travel time is short, but it seems like there are some inconsistencies with the bus guide. While I was taking photos, the guide stood in front of the camera and talked to other guests. During the visit to Todai-ji, they said, "Please play with the deer," but at Kasuga-taisha, they warned, "Don't touch the deer!" They mentioned, "People from Nara don't touch the deer because they are dirty," and I thought it would have been better if they had explained that from the beginning. My child touched the deer a lot at Todai-ji. At Kasuga-taisha, my child was scolded and asked why it was okay to touch the deer at Todai-ji but not at Kasuga-taisha.

The explanations were fast-paced and lacked sincerity. When I asked about the type of wood used for the pillars at Todai-ji, the guide responded emotionally with "Huh?" After I politely explained why I wanted to know the type of wood, they answered, but it left me feeling quite uncomfortable throughout the tour.

The scheduled end time was around 12:30, but we actually finished at 11:30. I can't help but think that this guide must have skipped over various explanations.

移動時間はかからないけれど、バスガイドさんの当たり外れがありそうです。
写真を撮っていたら、カメラの前に立ち他のお客さんに話しかけてるし、東大寺見学の時には「シカと遊んでください」と言っていたのに、春日大社では「シカには触らないで！」と。。「奈良県の人はシカは汚ないので触りません。」とか言ってきて、東大寺の時に初めからそう説明すれば良いのに、子供は東大寺でシカにたくさん触ってました。。春日大社では子供は怒られてなんで東大寺のシカは触って良くて春日大社ではダメなの？と言ってました。。
説明は早口で心がこもっていなく、東大寺の柱の木の種類を尋ねたら、「は？」と感情的に聞き返されたので、こちらが丁寧にどうして木の種類を知りたいのか説明したら答えてましたが、余りにも気分が悪くて終始嫌な気分でした。
解散時間は12:30頃とありますが、11:30には解散でした。こんなガイドさんは色々説明も端折られていたのではと思ってしまいます。。

I rode with my mother.
While receiving explanations, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
If it's your first time at a tourist spot, I think it's great to use a guide who provides various explanations so you can understand everything properly.

母と一緒に乗りました。
説明を受けながら、安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
観光地に初めての場合、ガイドさんに色々説明を受けるとキチンと理解して回れるので利用して良かったと思います。
