Nikko day trip - Imran was an excellent guide. The car was super clean and new, the driving was very careful and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, he was very helpful in explaining the history and teaching us about the culture. He went out of his way to take pictures and accommodated any extra stops we needed to make. This was our first time to Japan and I was nervous booking tours but rest assured you will have an amazing experience.

Not to be missed - The variety of natural and religious sites was amazing. The settings were mesmerizing. Our guide, Imran who I had specifically requested for my group of 8, was exceptional as the guide & driver. Not only did he have the historical knowledge of the sites, we also learned so much about the cultural, social and economic changes that have taken place in Japan over our recent history (post 1980’s). It was a long day but I would not have wanted it to change in any manner. Imran was very willing to do minor adjustments in the itinerary and always had frequent very clean rest stops.

Great Tour Experience - Frequent travelers who enjoy private tours. The trip to Nikko is one of the best we have ever been on. Imran was right on time and arrived in a luxury van. He was knowledgable and pointed out significant attractions. The tour was ten hours and I've never been on a tour that covered so many attractions. They went above and beyond to make it a memorable day. I highly recommend The TokyoTravel.
