Both adults and kids enjoyed ourselves at the Nara Park. Guide was helpful to always provide us with the location of the meeting point at each stop. He even gave map directions to nearby attractions when we found we still had a bit of time to spare! As there are much uphill walking and stairs involved to visit the shrines. Would not recommend this tour if you are travelling with young kids. My husband ended up carrying my 3yo most of the way as the walk was too much for her.
