We had a terrific experience on this tour with our guide, Robert. The biking was great, the sights (and deer!) are beautiful and Robert added in a lot of extra facts and explanations that made the tour really interesting and enjoyable. He was also really patient with us at the knife shop stop :) which we recommend as a great place to buy a knife!

See a lot in a short time
A very easy trip where we got to see a lot of Nara, and got a lot of history by the guide.
We were lucky and were the only ones on the trip that day, so we felt extra well taken care of.
There was a little cycling, so the trip is recommended to those who have some experience with cycling from before.
