Nara Highlights Small-Group Tour With Optional Lunch

Nara Highlights Small-Group Tour With Optional Lunch

4.9 (97) 🕑 5h 30m Free cancellation

If you’ve only got limited time to discover the highlights of Nara, then this is the tour for you. Rather than sightseeing in a huge crowd, benefit from an intimate small-group experience, which makes it easier to hear your guide and ask questions. Along the way, visit Nara Park to see its free-roaming deer and pass by Todai-ji Temple. Longer tour options also include lunch and a hands-on “furoshiki” wrapping workshop.
