This was a perfect way to experience Nara hitting all the major tourist spots without the hassle of figuring out how to get to each spot. Jerome, our tour guide, was full of information and he didn’t rush us. I loved his peaceful energy! Perfect for anyone wanting to take a break from having to walk miles to see the sites. It wasn’t too short or too long. The bike shop is like 3 blocks from the train station. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s visiting Nara and doesn’t have all day to spend there but would like to catch the major sites.

A brilliant way to see the sights of Nara!
On such a warm summers day this was the best way to see the sights. The temples, the deers, the park. Elodie was a great guide. Who lead us on our way- no stressing about the wrong directions. The best feeling of all was going back knowing we did not need to walk in the hot sun and we saved time enough to get to Kyoto and see the golden temple
