WHEELCHAIR USERS BE AWARE THAT THIS TOUR IS NOT FULLY ACCESSIBLE

If you go to Kyoto and do NOT do this, you are missing out. This afternoon is well worth it.

The Nara Afternoon tour was good, but too crowded. The guide seemed annoyed with us at times and her explanations when we were at the temple area were too difficult to hear. So, a lot of the group just wondered off. The Temple, Shrine and souvenir shop made for a good day out of Kyoto. Perhaps the tour guide could explain a little more on the bus before we get to the places.

This tour was just ok as it could have been so much better. First of all it's a huge bus tour so be prepared. The good news is that they do start on time and stick to a schedule, the bad news is that it takes 1 hour to get there and back so after they walk you through Nara to see the Temple, they give you literally 20 minutes of free time, which is crazy as that also includes the time it takes to walk back to the bus. So basically you traveled around the world, drove 1 hour all the way to Nara and back and only get 20 minutes with the Deer? This is unacceptable as they should give people a full 1 hour. They are in such a rush to get to drive to the next Shrine and turn around and get back home that there is no free time. If anything they really need to start 1 hour earlier to give people some free time to roam and interact with the Deer. I spoke to many people who were upset and 1 couple who took off on their own as they wanted more free time. My recommendation is to take the train and go there on your own.

The tour guide (Tammy) was very knowledgeable and entertaining but the tour itself was very rushed. There was little time to see any of the sights properly - didn't even get time to feed the deer at Nara. Having been to Nara before, I know there was so much more to explore.

It was wonderful being able to get to all of these sites in one afternoon and not have to worry about finding my own transportation. Deer Park is absolutely a must! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very worth it.

It wasn't bad considering you get to see some amazing places on the tour.

The tour group was too large. It was difficult to keep track of the tour guide and to learn anything as one could not hear much with so many in the group. I felt the tour was rushed and not much time spent at each site.

Good tour and probably difficult to do on your own. However, like the other bus tours, you will spent a lot of time on the bus. Tour buses where everywhere and caused traffic to back up. Once the bus parked, there was a bit of a long walk. The amount of time spent at the sites was limited, although there was enough time to stop for 20 minutes at an unscheduled stores. This should be revealed in the description since most of us had no desire to spend time at a store, especially when it took time from other tour sites.

Must do tour for a visit and background to a Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine
Review by: Joyce C, July 2017
Had a very nice afternoon visiting these places. Nara is a little far to get to on your own, so the group bus was ideal.
