Free walking tours in Nara

Shigeki is a very kind man and it is truly enjoyable to follow his lead and discover the treasures of the Nara Park. He has a vast knowledge of the sites we’ve visited today and he guided us through the park in a very professional way. He answered every of our questions very thorouly and his knowledge of English was high and easy to follow. We learned a lot today and we want to thank Shigeki sincerely for his time and the effort he puts in the tour. One feels truly welcomed and in good hands! Apart from the astonishing sites, we appreciated his kindheartedness when asking about our desires and when he looked for the corresponding shrines for us. Thank you so much and we can only recommend this tour 100%!!

Tour necesario, muy bonito y oritentativo para entender los templos y santuarios de Nara, creo que un día no alcanzaría para explicar todo lo que hay para ver, pero Masa lo sintetiza muy bien, gracias!

Masa fue muy atento. Como éramos pocos hasta nos fue a buscar a la estación de Tren. Y lo mejor el regalo de nuestros nombres y su significado!

Shigeki is a top notch tour guide. He was courteous and patient, informative, and enthusiastic. His tour started with a rooftop view of the surrounding area, giving us a good idea of the day’s route. He then led us all the way through Nara Park, with stops to feed deer, the Tōdai-ji (Great Buddha) temple, Kasugataisha shrine with 3000+ lanterns, and all the spots in between. We were a small group, so he invited us to continue with a stop for lunch, and then was happy to show us any other sights we were interested in. Shigeki is a tour guide that loves his job, and that love is reflected in the energy he brings to his tour. We are so glad we met him, and wish him all the best!

Visite Nara por primera vez de la mano de Diego, nuestro guía. El tour estuvo buenísimo. Nos dios tiempo para fotos, para visitar templos mientras explicaba historia, datos súper curiosos y nos compartía tips de la ciudad. Excelente guia!!! La reserva la hice la noche anterior y no tuve ningún inconveniente, al contrario, desde el primer momento mantuvieron la comunicación al dia. Super recomendado!!

Shigeki was so kind, welcoming, and thoughtful from the very beginning. I felt comfortable with him right away, as if I were exploring the city with a good friend. As a true local guide, he knows Nara inside and out and took me to many interesting places I would never have discovered on my own. He was patient, caring, and always made sure I was enjoying myself. Thank you, Shigeki, for such a warm and memorable experience. I highly recommend his tour!

I had a wonderful time exploring Nara with Shigeki. As a true local guide, he seems to know every corner of the city. He took me to so many interesting places, including some we would never have discovered on my own. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable and reliable he was. He knew the best routes, the hidden spots, and the little details that made each place special. I always felt I were in good hands. Thanks to Shigeki, I experienced much more of Nara than I could have on my own. If you want to explore Nara beyond the usual tourist spots, I highly recommend joining his tour!

I had a wonderful day exploring Nara with Shigeki. As a solo traveler, it was great to have a friendly local guide who could show me places I might have missed on my own. I really enjoyed Todai-ji, the deer, and the local food and sake. Highly recommended!

Fue un tour muy completo, diferente a los que habiamos hecho por Japon hasta ahora. Visitamos los lugares prácticamente solos recibiendo mucha información sobre el lugar. Masa nos recogió incluso en su coche en la estación. Estuvo en contacto por wahtsapp en los días previos y tenía preparada una sorpresa para nosotros al finalizar. El sitio es precioso pero con Masa lo disfrutamos todavía más. Su conocimiento es impresionante. Muchas gracias!

Es un tour imprescindible si estás en Osaka. Diego nos centro históricamente y nos introdujo en todos los lugares con buenas explicaciones y curiosidades. Los ciervos son muy adorables pero muy insistentes con las galletas, al final se hacen un poco pesados. El guía fue un 10 para nosotros.

We are so happy to write this review for Shigeki and his Nara tour. Shigeki was the most helpful and informative guide. Communication before the tour was excellent and he even helped plan the journey from Osaka to meet him in Nara. The deer were my partners favourite but for me it was the grandeur and beauty of Todai-ji Temple. After the tour we went to a restaurant for lunch which again was another experience we were not expecting. Fantastic tour probably the best we have had in Japan.
