Fantastic

Shawn_S, Jul 2025

Hiroki was knowledgeable, kind, and really enhanced our visit. There is a great deal of walking. Bring water in Summer. The giant Buddha in the temple is worth the trip alone. But the deer are darling.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your booking and for your fantastic review! We are glad you liked the tour and that you appreciated Hiroki. We hope to see you again!

Quite a fun tour

Mouloud was a great communicator from the confirmation of the tour on. Punctual, highly knowledgeable and had good insight to the deer and some very helpful pointers (do/do nots) that helped the deer experience be a pleasant one. Learned a lot, walked a lot, rather strenuous, but totally worth spending the day in Nara. I would recommend this tour.
