We had Matteus as our guide, and he was so nice and knowledgeable! We had children who loved animals, so he made every effort to tailor our trip so that we saw the Nara deer everywhere we went. He spent extra time with us to make sure we saw everything we needed to see. He even walked us to the bus stop after the tour so we did not get lost. We highly recommend Matteus and his company for a bike tour! We had so much fun!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review and for recommending our Nara bike tour!
We’re delighted to hear that you and your children had such a fun and memorable time, especially with the Nara deer! It’s wonderful to know that Matheus tailored the tour to your family’s interests and made sure you could enjoy plenty of time with the animals.
Matheus will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you again for choosing Japan Tour Adventure and for taking the time to share your lovely experience with us!

Fun outdoor activity to do to explore a bigger region quickly than on foot. Christophe was very helpful, patient and friendly. He engaged with our 11 & 13 yr olds and shared many daily Japanese life/culture stories with us too. He went above and beyond and had many tips for what to eat around the area for lunch and sweets. Would definitely recommend!

The day started a little off the beaten track finding the bike shed. Our English speaking guide, Elodie (from France), fitted us out with great bikes accommodating our 195cm tall lads. We cycled on backstreets to the park. We were shown how to feed the deer, and saw the massive temple and Buddha, we cycled to the knife store, which had amazing knives at very reasonable prices for the quality. We cycled on to the shrine in the wood which was beautiful. The tour never felt rushed and Elodie was very considerate with a nervous cyclist in our group. Our trip ended with a great lunch at a conveyor sushi restaurant close to the start of the tour. It was a wonderful day that exceeded our expectations in every way. 100% recommended.

Thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Elodie!! Your kind words inspire us to keep delivering the best experience possible!! Warm regards, Ayumi, Japan Tour Adventure
What a great way to see Nara! We explored much of Nara by bike as the route takes you to more remote parts that you normally don't visit by foot. Robert was a great tour guide and shared history & culture in addition to the bike tour.

One of a kind experience to enjoy Nara! Our guide Elodie is knowledgeable about Nara as well as Japanese culture. She is also very patient with our kids. Bikes and helmets are good. They also prepare water, admission ticket for temples and crackers do the deers. It’s hassle free! Biking lets us savor the beautiful area way more as you will go through the little paths in the surround neighborhood before entering the tourist areas. The choice of lunch is unique and authentic as well!
Robert was a great tour guide ! He took us (family of 5) on good quality + comfortable TREK mountain bikes around Nara and we visited key landmarks. His explanations were clear and interesting. We were all very pleased with the tour.

Exceptional day. Great way to visit Nara. Very well thought out and organized tour. Christophe is a very patient and pleasant guide who we enjoyed very much.
The meal is included in the service but next time we will choose our restaurant.
