"We had a wonderful day exploring Nara with Hiroyuki. Make sure to bring your walking shoes, because you're going to cover a lot of ground! Beautiful sites and great guide!"
"Hiro was a wonderful host. He filled the full 3 hours and I was thoroughly impressed. Friendly, knowledgeable. There’s really not much more I could ask for. He treated us to a sake tasting at the end to see how it compared to the sake we had a day before. The spot was SUPER local and I would have never found it by myself. At the end he recommended a great local spot for our dinner and it did not disappoint."
"My husband and I took a walking tour around Nara with Hiro and really enjoyed it. His family are from Nara and he shared their history and traditions, bringing the place to life for us in a way that could only be done with a local. It was not just enjoyable finding out about beautiful Nara, but also learning a bit more about Hiro as well. We had a great time with him and would thoroughly recommend the experience. "
"Hiro was a fantastic guide! We happened to visit Nara during the biggest festival of the year. Hiro took us on a walking tour through the major sites, explained the history, and we also caught the parade. Nara has a charming, small town feel to it. Hiro was fantastic with my three kids and very accommodating, helping us store our luggage as we dropped in for a day trip. Certainly one of the top highlights of our trip; we full-heartedly recommend Hiro's tour."
"Hiro was a great tour guide, full of interesting information and cultural insights. He was very patient and flexible and adapted the tour to accommodate the different needs of our family (daughters aged 13, 11 and 5). It was a pleasure to spend time with Hiro. We would recommend this tour. Thank you! "
"Amazing experience made very special by Hiro who went above and beyond to explain the area and guide us. Very worthwhile experience and can highly recommend Hiro!"
