Nice tour.

Manuel_R, Aug 2026

It was a nice tour to amazing places in Nikko. It felt a little rushed though but in general, good. I would recommend it.

Shani is very good guide...

Charith_H, Jul 2026

Shani is very good guide and lot of knowledge. This is my 3rd time visiting Nikko and he is the best I have met. Tour is okay. It always runs out of time to do all you want. Best to stay overnight to cover everything

A day trip from Tokyo that is well worth it!

Trevor_S, Jul 2026

A day trip from Tokyo that is well worth it! Fantastic scenery and history. There is a lot to see and do, so hard to condense it all into one day. The waterfall was spectacular and the shrines and temples deserve their world heritage status. Excellent day with pick up and drop off at our Tokyo hotel - Shani was very hospitable! Recommended!

Not as advertised

Angela_R, Jul 2026

Our driver was extremely kind, respectful and professional. However, please know that this tour is just for a private driver not a tour guide at the sites. In addition, out of the 10 sites on the itinerary, we were only taken to 3 and it wasn't due to lack of time. You may be better off taking public transportation to Nikko.

Excellent highly recommended

Melissa_B, Jul 2026

It’s an all day trip tour but very good one, lots of special locations to enjoy with your family or friends.

Amazing !!

Joshua_A, Jun 2026

Rana was great. It was a phenomenal tour one location after the other everything was perfect. When I wanted to make some last-minute changes it was totally fine with my guide and he did a great job explaining everything. Thank you so much

Great tour!

William_L, May 2026

This was a fun, well-paced tour. Shani was a great tour guide and helped orient us so we knew where to go and where to meet back up. He also shared a lot of history of the Nikko area, which was interesting to hear.

Good tour with a great guide

Amit_G, May 2026

Lovely to step outside of Tokyo for a day trip. Professional tour operator and great experience with our guide Shani. Very comfortable car and superb driving. Got to learn a lot about Japan, the local culture and about multiple things that came on the way from Shani. We had a great time. Will try doing it again in a different season for different views. Thank you!

Customized Nikko day

Gina_S, May 2026

We had such an amazing experience on our customized Nikko tour. The day was perfectly balanced with nature, culture, food, and relaxation. We visited a beautiful waterfall, explored a stunning temple and shrine, walked through an incredibly peaceful garden, and learned so much throughout the day. Our guide encouraged questions and made the history and meaning behind each place feel personal and interesting instead of rushed or scripted. We also stopped for lunch at a delicious gyoza and ramen house that felt authentic and local, which made the experience even better. To top it all off, Roshan kindly drove us directly to our dinner reservations afterward, which made the day stress free and seamless. The company’s communication from beginning to end was excellent responsive, organized, and very accommodating. Roshan was absolutely exceptional. Friendly, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing Japan with us. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day and made us feel welcomed the entire time. I own a tour company in Alaska and I would say i would hire Roshan for his amazing guide etiquette. Honestly, Roshan was one of the best guides we had while traveling. Highly recommend this tour and especially Roshan if you have the chance request him and this company.
