Thanks for your wonderful review. I also had a pleasant time visiting the highlights of Nara with such a sweet couple like you. I was impressed that you enjoyed yourself experiencing different places and cultures, and that both of you walked hand in hand, supporting each other throughout the tour. I hope you'll take care of yourself and have wonderful travels from now on, too!

“A memorable day in Nara”

We had an amazing two-day tour with Yasu, exploring both Kyoto and Nara. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Each day, we began around 9 AM and wrapped up by 5 PM. Yasu met us at our hotel, and off we went, using public transportation—trains, taxis, and trolleys—which added a great cultural touch to the trip. Yasu is an exceptional guide, incredibly knowledgeable about both cities' history, culture, and way of life. We wanted to focus on those aspects, and he crafted a perfect itinerary that included visits to shrines, gardens, shopping districts, and museums. As naturally curious travelers, my husband and I asked plenty of questions, and Yasu was always happy to share his insights and perspectives, making our conversations both engaging and enlightening. Rather than worrying about tickets and transport, we gave Yasu the money at the start of each day, and he handled all the logistics for us. He also recommended excellent places for lunch, ensuring we ate at spots that matched our culinary tastes. His professionalism and helpfulness were top-notch. One particular highlight: I accidentally left my phone in a taxi, and as soon as Yasu found out, he took immediate action, calling the taxi company for me and negotiating a return. In less than 15 minutes, my phone was safely in my custody! With Yasu as your guide, you’ll experience so much in Nara -- the deer, the shrines, the Buddha, the gardens, the trolley and so much more, so make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes! I highly recommend him—he’s truly a standout. And, definitely don't miss out on Nara as it is truly a special little city outside of Tokyo.
