Short on time but with big aspirations - It was a full day bus tour from Osaka to Nara and Kyoto. The tour was well organized and our group was small. We had roughly 16 people in our group. Nara seemed a little rushed at first but once the tour unfolded it became apparent why we had to keep moving. This tour covers a lot of ground. I choose this tour because It would be impossible to visit the same places without a car in the amount of time. It was a bilingual tour which worried me at first because we were in the minority. Min who was our tour guide made sure that he gave us plenty of attention. He explained each point on the tour and then let us explore the sight on our own. I appreciated this. Overall I felt this was a very good tour for people short on time that don’t want their hand held. We had a great time.
