2.Nara Half Day Trip Walking Tour (Private Option Available)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 937 reviews · from $105Top rated

Review of Nara’s five-hour walking tour, with Todaiji, Kasuga Taisha, deer, lunch, local guides, practical tips, and value advice.

“We ended up being the only two people on the tour and Miyabi was simply fantastic. We had already been to several temples and her information enriched that even further. Plus, we never would have found a number of the smaller areas without her. She also brought us to a lovely sake tasting and recommended several restaurants at the end. The provided lunch was full of local dishes and very tasty. It was a great day, even with the rain, and 100% recommended.”

Review of a private Mt Fuji day trip from Tokyo with an English-speaking driver, flexible stops, lake views, shrines, costs, and practical tips.

“It’s cold up there. We left and returned to the Disney Resort, which is illadvised because of the onerous traffic. Better to start out from Tokyo. Glocal, the tour operator provided excellent, proactive service. Our English-speaking driver was delightful as well as good at what he does. I enjoyed Mt. Fuji more than I had anticipated.”
