Trip could have been better if there is more time given at the locations. Co-ordination amongst the tour leaders and local co-ordinators were good and with vast experience. Some amount of time were spent on the co-ordination along the way and that ate into the time allocated for sight seeing.
This is a great afternoon but most of it is spent travelling from Osaka to Kyoto. I would only recommend this tour if you are staying in Kyoto. The temple and shrine are beautiful and he grounds spacious with lots of deer - that are a bit smelly! Worth it none the less to see some traditional buildings!
The tour was interesting, the tour guide, Hajime is accommodating and was able to answer questions. The other tour guides on the train station were very helpful in finding our way thru the busy train station of Osaka Namba, they even helped us buy the train tickets! We appreciate this gesture
loved Nara and the friendly Deers during Sakura season although we were rushed and couldn't spend enough time looking around or buying souvenirs as much as we wanted. bus was totally full. tour guide was nice and tried to provide information as much as she could
The tour guide was more focused on keeping time and other logistics requirements where to meet, where the bus is parked, maintaining order, keeping quiet, etc...., rather than sharing insights about the temples and shrines.
I enjoyed this tour very much. The tour guide was informative and timing was on the spot which is always the case in Japan!. However, it was a little tiring to make the trip to kyoto first then only to nara. This is because there are others who join this half day tour Nara having completed their half day tour in kyoto itself. Whilst it works well for them, it doesnt for those who only join the Nara tour.
