Sha our tour guide ⭐and deep detailed reviews 🇸🇬 - Amazing tour, without this tour we wouldn't have been able to get up to the temples as it's all via cars. Good crowd size and bus. Able to take naps in-between the trips and fold out legs. Sha our tour guide was very informative and helpful, very good person by nature and knows alot of details about the temples and history. Good for healthy to fit people as there are alot of stair climbing and steep hills. Worth the hike for the view. Just becareful of slippery stairs.... We fell.... Wish it was a better weather during our visit but good recommendation!

A++. Highly recommend! - Nice trip!! Saw some cherry blossoms, temples, statues and other local sites! Very beautiful…. I particularly love the flowers and the scenery not to mention eating like a pound of the most delicious strawberries ever!! Our tour guide, Sho, was really patient and understanding while keeping the tour organized and on time.

Beautiful Sakura, temples, and the most delicious strawberries! - Our guide Sho was wonderful. We had a difficult group with a bunch of demanding complainers. They were extremely difficult and pushy. Sho did his best to make everyone happy, and he did a great job. We saw beautiful double cherry blossoms (kanzan) and had the most delicious strawberries I’ve ever had. Sho won everyone over by the end of the tour, and he deserves extra kudos for his efforts. We saw beautiful temples and shrines, too. Overall, it was a very nice tour. We highly recommend it!

An experience worth remembering - We ended up touring on a rainy day but it made the experience worth remembering. From picking strawberries during a rain storm, visiting a temple during small showers and seeing the variety of cherry blossom trees through out a small detour, the experience and sight seeing was beautiful. Our tour guide explained the history well and answered all our questions. He has a good sense of humor and my friends and I enjoyed his company.

Everything you could ask for - Our Guide, Michiko, was brilliant! So lovely, very funny and extremely knowledgable. The experience gets you into the heart of Japan, in and around Nara prefecture, and each stop is somehow more welcoming and awe-gazing than the last. For anyone who has yet to explore the Sakura within mountain ranges, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. There is nothing quite like it. The food was good as well, from a former non-sushi eater! Many options in the box, both Japanese and Western. 8:30am meet, back in Osaka at 5pm. When you do take this trip, please say hi to Kannon and Nirvara for me. :)

Strong winds and rain - It was nice but the weather did not cooperate so the guide had alternative plans besides Mount Yoshino so we enjoyed it.
