Excellent Nara city tour - We had a great time with Tam, our tour guide for Nara city. She gave us a thorough experience about her city. It was our first time to enter a Tatami room and learned a lot of its significance. We also enjoyed the time learning about the history of Nara. I wouldn’t know much of the city if not for this tour. She also helped us take photos and organized it for us in an album. We are glad to have done this tour of Nara.
