Enjoyable Bike Tour - We selected this tour for the bike ride through the city. The tour guide was clear and knowledgeable in her explanations of the history. She cared about the tour and kept all of us well-informed. I maintained the same word count while correcting the grammar and making the language slightly more formal and precise.

Above and beyond - I left my wallet on the bus and the tour guide Robert went above and beyond to help me find it! He then proceeded to give me the entire tour after the delay. Really kind and helped to make a stressful situation a lot better.

Great tour, moderate exercise - We loved our tour of Nara with Robert! We visited several historic sites and fed the deer! Robert was full of information and was very friendly and welcoming. The pedaling was a bit challenging at times but all of our group was able to make it up. For every up hill there was a long break and a breezy downhill. We would recommend this tour to all our friends. Thank you Robert!

The best way to discover Nara! - We had the honor and chance to take our tour with Remy, who runs the Japan Tour Adventure. The tour is prepared in detail to allow us to discover the most beautiful places in Nara, and Remy was able to share with us this knowledge of the history of Nara, but also share his passion for this magnificent country that is Japan. . I will definitely have another experience with the Japan Tour Adventure on my next trip. Thank you Remy.

Amusing day spent in Nara on a bicycle - We had a wonderful day with the tour guide, who was very knowledgeable about the history of the temples and shrines in Nara. We were able to see the most fascinating parts of Nara in about four or five hours by pedaling around on our bikes, which gave us a bird's-eye perspective of the city. In addition, we had a wonderful time trying out the udon for lunch and the coffee break that we had throughout the trip. It is highly recommended that you take a bicycle excursion to explore Nara.

A must do! - My sweet dear Melody I miss you so!!! The tour was so much fun! Your company was a delight and the combination of learning history while touring locations via a bike is a huge plus in my opinion. A wonderful day it was! Feeding the deer and seeing them bow was pretty incredible! Melody was very informative and professional and I adore her spirit!! Thank you so much x

Bowing deer - We saw many amazing sights and our guide was knowledgeable. The bikes we easy to use and great on the hills. Maybe felt a little rushed at the end when we were going through great parks and could have stopped for a few pics. Overall would recommend.

Nara is a must do for anybody visiting Japan. - Location off starting point of the ride off the beaten track. Guide had pleasant personality, but could have been more knowledgeable.

They cancelled on me two days before the tour. - We ended up going on our own and had a terrible experience at Nara because the tour company advised me two days prior to the tour that they needed to cancel. I do NOT recommend them.
