2.00The tour is misleading. They do not come back from Nara to Kyoto. We were stuck and they didn't communicate. They were friendly on chat and Whatsapp.
Great and smooth tour, easy to communicate and get around.

5.00Rick was awesome. He knew a lot and helped us understand and enjoy the Japanese culture. He helped us get around easier with links and a group message so if we needed help we could get it easier. Thats was very different then some of the tours where meeting up was stressful. With Rick it was easy. He had it fun and helped us know what we were doing and for how long so we could get to everything. He was punctual and kept everything going smooth. We really enjoyed seeing all the temples, shrines, budda and deer. It was a great tour. I would recommend it to everyone.
Worth it!!
