Osaka and Nara Day Tour with Private Transportation
Brilliant
We had a wonderful family tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Somei. His kindness and warm personality made it feel like we were travelling with a friend rather than being on a tour. Somei was great with the children and made sure everyone felt included. A truly lovely family-friendly experience that we highly recommend!

Scarlett was extremely friendly and funny during the tour. I thought it was well timed and enjoyed the background she gave on the areas we went to as well.

From Kyoto: Nara & Kyoto World Heritage 1-Day Bus Tour
Highly recommend
Such a good experience. Emiko-san was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all of the group's questions. We took the train from Kyoto to Kintetsu-Nara and then took a small private bus around Nara. The sites we visited (Todai-ji, Kasagutaisha Shrine, the deer) were all amazing. The weather was bad but Emiko-san made the day very interesting and educational.
