Save Your Feet, See More Sights Confortably - The tour path was simple riding, and saved my feet a ton of steps. I went in the early AM group and there were far more tourists at these places as we were leaving than when we began. This made for a more calm tour. The group tour guide, Matheus, was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and made me feel very safe riding the ebike for the first time in Japan. I think this is the absolute best way to see Nara. Go shop at the market and grab a bite at any of the wonderful small restaurants on the old side of Nara. They have so much local items made in Nara. Id give them 10 stars if I could!

E-bikes- a great way to see Nara! - Fabulous ebike trip- really takes the weight off your feet. Lovely guide Matheus showed us all around the park, the deer, various shrines temples and knife shop. E bikes were really easy to use, and we explored much further than had we been on foot! Highly recommend!

Nara by bike is the best :) - This is an excellent tour. Matheus was informative, friendly, knowledgable, extremely helpful and attentive. I really enjoyed learning about Nara's history and also hearing about his life in Japan. Feeding the deer is an absolute delight and the park, Temple and Shrine are all beautiful. Every minute of our ride and tour was fabulous. Highly recommend!

A great tour with an even better guide! - This is the first time i go out of my way to actually write a review of a tour I did, it was just that good! We had a tour with Matheus and can honestly say that this man has the patience of a saint and is very knowledgeable about the highlights of the tour, he took his time to set up the bicycles properly for everyone on the tour, gave us a lot of time to see the points of interest and answered any and all questions we had. This tour hits all the spots you'd want to see in Nara park, and while the temple, shrine and knife store are very nice, the true highlight for us was the feeding of the deer, there's just something magical about being able to get this close to such majestic animals. We were joined by a family with kids that hardly had any experience riding bicycles, which Matheus accomodated very nicely, taking his time and helping both the kids and parents out when they needed to take it more slowly. We actually went a bit over time because of it, but it's great to have a guide that understands these kinds of situations and accomodates so flawlessly to them. Matheus, keep doing what you're doing, you're an amazing guide for this 11/10 tour!

Matheus was a great guide... - Matheus was a great guide in that he was able to answer our questions as we traveled around the sites. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the ride so got lots of opportunities to discover what was there. I recommend going on the 9:00 tour before Nara gets busy.

I was disappointed by... - I was disappointed by this tour. The guide either knew fairly little about the history of the sites or chose not to share. I tried asking for more information a few times and got only surface-level answers. His attitude toward the spirituality of the sites also felt flippant at times. I felt rushed at the Great Buddha Hall and in Kasuga Taisha, but we also spent a while just riding in circles over the grass of the park. Much of the tour had us riding through densely crowded areas, which was frustrating and seemed disrespectful to the pedestrians trying to walk. I appreciated going to the knife shop. I was able to purchase a nice gift at a reasonable price.
