Top Nara Prefecture E-Bike Tours

This bike tour is based on our most popular tour, Nara Highlights, but reserved for families with kids with adult-size E-bikes and kids-size bikes. Child seats are available for non-riding kids and infants as well. As it is a private family tour, you can be sure that your guide will take extra care of your group, adjusting and adapting the tour based on your preferences. Pour la demande de guide francophone: Nous ne pouvons pas garantir la francophonie pour un tour partagée, car mélangeant plusieurs nationalités, la priorité deviendra l'anglais. Tous nos guides parlent au minimum anglais et japonais, ce qui veut dire que le français sera une langue supplémentaire. Le guide pourra donc alterner entre anglais et français si nécessaire. Pour garantir la disponibilité du guide francophone à la date souhaitée, veuillez nous contacter à l'avance, afin que nous puissions confirmer qu'un guide francophone est toujours disponible pour votre date de réservation. Merci pour votre compréhension.
