Mimi was wonderful! She taught us a lot about history and showed us some truly impressive things. The deer park was magical, and the food was also very delicious. An absolutely perfect experience!
Even if the day was very hot, our experience with Mimmy was great
Mimmy Is great and the tour was perfect ❤️❤️❤️
Mummy. We saw stone lanterns with deer and South Gate and Buddha temples and had a wonderful lunch.
The booked tour is only conducted with at least 4 participants, but since some canceled at short notice, it turned into a private tour. Lunch in a typical restaurant with excellent food. We were out with Eiko and it was one of the best experiences for us; she explained a great many details to us. Eiko has earned 10 stars.

I was bitten by two deers. Terrible expirience
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are so glad you still gave us a high rating despite the incident! We are very sorry to hear that you were bitten by the deer. While Nara's deer are incredibly beautiful and beloved, they are indeed wild animals and can sometimes get a bit too enthusiastic. We hope you are doing well and that you were still able to take home some wonderful memories of Nara. Thank you again, and we wish you safe and happy travels!
Mimmy was a very patient and helpful guide.
