Free walking tours in Nara

Shigeki was so nice and gave us a very e pensive tour in Nara. He took us to a lookout that gave us an overview of the city, then to 2 beautiful gardens. We really enjoyed going through the park with him and interacting with the deer. He knew all the best spots for photos and took so many wonderful pictures of us to help us remember Nara. He gave us information about the temples that we went to, and took us to an old style Japanese house. Shigeki was even kind enough to walk us to our train at the end of the tour. Thanks for the beautiful pictures you sent us!

Masa muy servicial y atento. Explicó todo muy bien y respondió todas nuestras dudas. Lo hizo todo muy ameno. Muy recomendable.

Shigeki designed a tour suited to our needs and shared the details with us beforehand to get our feedback. He was patient and kind, providing detailed information in excellent English—which we understood well, even though we aren't very fluent in the language ourselves. He also gave us recommendations on where to have lunch and what else to see once the tour was over. I highly recommend him, not least because he knows the area very well; he is also a truly kind and friendly person—even with children! Thank you!

El guia fue muy agradable y atento en todo momento. Super recomendable

Wonderful tour with Masa. We could visit Nara and appreciate the connection between spirituality and nature, because if the environment and, above all, Nara explanations. And you will be astonished by the final present Masa has for you...Many thanks Masa!

No gusto el tour. Suficiente tiempo para fotos y no se sintió pesado aún cuando hacía calor. Nicolas muy amable

Excelente el tour con Masanobu

Excelente tour! Muy buena información

¡Un tour muy bien estructurado! 🌟 Leslie es súper agradable 😊 y explica cada punto con mucho detalle, dándonos tiempo para apreciarlo todo 👏✨. Además, nos dio excelentes recomendaciones de restaurantes 🍜🍴 (¡probé el omurice gracias a ella y estaba tremendo! 🤤🔥).

We enjoyed a lot our tour in Nara with Shinge! He explained the main sites well and took us to a lovely restaurant where we enjoyed a local lunch. It was a very nice tour.

Shigeki-san was an excellent tour guide, with a personal history and passion for Nara. He took me around the parks, temples, shrines, and shops located in Nara, thus resulting in a very meaningful and memorable experience. I left Nara feeling the need to return. Nara is so beautiful, and Shigeki-san made it such a wonderful and impactful first experience, as he knew exactly where to go and had many stories to tell. We explored a lot of fun nooks and crannies of the city. Shigeki-san explained aspects that make Nara unique, as well as introduced me to various shops, taught me details about the locals, and explained the neighborhoods in context of Nara's history. It was also interesting to hear this perspective as someone born and raised in Nara. We had a lot of great conversations, and I feel that I learned a lot. Shigeki-san was very positive, with a great vibe, and I felt very comfortable exploring the city with him. He was very knowledgeable, relaxed and fun. Thank you so much for today Shigeki-san. I hope to go on another tour with you again someday.

It was a pleasure to explore Nara with Shigeki, a knowledgeable local! He guided us through the deer park, the Great Budah Temple and the Kasugataisha Shrine. He also took us to an amazing Nara special meal lunch and to a sake tasting experience. I definitely recommend him!

Amazing experience.

Todo muy bien. Simplemente no llegó al minimo de personas y me avisó. Una pena

It is a great chill tour and it takes you to not so crowded places, he is a great guide I totally recommend this :)

Good knowledge about history and nice itinary off the main stream tourist roads.

This is a good guided walk around Nara Park but probably not suitably for people who are after a lot of facts and information

Really good, relaxing tour with a well informed guide.

Karma gave us a great tour of Nara, taking us to all of thebkey historical places, taking us through some history and of course to the best spots to see the deer! He also took us to a lesser known park which was beautiful and peaceful. We ended outside Todai-ji Daibutsuden, leaving us time to go in and explore, which was great. Would very much recommend!

Amazing! Karim was so nice and everything was great

Our tour guide was great. He gave us history but didn't overload with too much info. Tour moved at a good pace and we got breaks to rest because it was very hot. Learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed!

Caminar por Nara es precioso, y los ciervos son muy simpáticos. Definitivamente una visita necesaria. Nosotros entramos a ver el gran Buda después de la visita y nos gustó mucho. Gracias por la recomendación del guía.

Gustavo gave a really fun and informative tour of Nara!

Gus was warm and informative host. He walked us slowly through Nara starting at a covered market before taking us to the main buddhist temples Kofuku-ji and Todai-ji temple complexes by way of Nara park and those …oh so cute.. deer 🦌. Historical snippets mixed in with practical stuff about deer feeding and some magical views of the sights. Thanks 🙏🏾 again Gustavo Ro🇬🇧🇱🇰&Chantale 🇫🇷

Tavo is a fun guide, super flexible and caring. He made our visit to Nara a great memory. He is a real entertainer- don’t miss this opportunity!
