Worth the money - This tour was worth the money. Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable guide. Had the most amazing waterfall. Our Guide Boby was the best. Took the time to explain the sites, was patient with our group. He was very friendly.

Safe, Friendly and Efficient Nikko in 1Day - Driver was timely, and navigated the road safely. Politely guided my family through the sites and helped keep us on time. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to see Nikko on a one day trip from Tokyo.

Great day in Nikko - Great guide and experience! The vehicle and drive was excellent and our guide Hamza got us there earlier to beat the crowds and we had 3 of the destinations almost all to ourselves. Great all around and flexible to spend more time in some places and less in others. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking to visit Nikko and the shrines and temples!

Fantastic Guided Tour of Nikko – A Must-Do! - Our guided tour of Nikko was a highlight of our Japan trip! Starting out with the scenic Shinkyo Bridge, we continued to the stunning Toshogu Shrine and Rinnoji Temple, with our guide sharing some history of the area. The natural beauty was just as impressive. As we drove up the winding mountain road of Route 120, we enjoyed a picturesque stop at Lake Chuzenji followed by the breathtaking Kegon Falls, where our guide knew the perfect spot for photos! For all of these stops (and others…) our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fluent in English — they made everything so easy and enjoyable. Ali treated us as family and we laughed and enjoyed his company as a bonus to our lovely day. We Highly recommend this tour with Ali for anyone visiting Nikko.

Perfect way to relax on the weekend between work commitments - Mani was great at tailoring the tour to my needs and taking into account the weather on the day. It was a great way to see a lovely part of Japan in a short space of time. Would recommend to anyone keen to see outside Tokyo with limited free time.

A beautiful day to explore Nikko. - Nikko is a must visit destination to explore places outside of Tokyo. You get to see a different view of Japan. A word of caution for elderly / disabled tourists. The shrine / temple has many steps to climb and the handrails are not adequate or don’t exist. Also some steps are a bit steep and there is no handicap ramp. As for our driver, Abdul, we highly recommend him. He explained everything we visited in detail, was very nice, professional and made sure we were enjoying our experience. Since this was a private tour, we had the opportunity to explore everything at our own pace. Abdul speaks several languages, so he is available to tourists from different countries.

Fantastic day in Nikko - Amazing day in Nikko. Bhatti our driver was excellent. He picked us up early in Tokyo to miss the traffic. This got us to Kegon falls before it became crowded with other tourists. We then walked the lake before heading back to Toshogu Shrine which is a beautiful site. He recommended lunch overlooking the Shinkyo Bridge before walking along the river to view the Jizu statues. We had such a great day we didn’t want it to end. So we added an extra hour and finished the day touring the Imperial Villa and Garden. Bhatti walked through each step and helped us get tickets. So worth it not to have to worry about train and bus schedules. Dropped us off our hotel exhausted and happy.
