Review for: Depart from TOKYO

Phenomenal trip to Nikko. Our travel guide Tina was great. She was very informative and provided a lot of information on heritage and food. The itinerary was exceptional, and the places that we visited were beautiful. Tina was good at keeping order and ensuring that everyone was on time. This kept things moving seamlessly and ensured that we stayed on track. Very happy with our tour, and we'll definitely do it again.

I would recommend this tour to anyone is was a great day trip, only advice would be try get to Shinjuku station early before meet up cause it's very difficult to navigate.The shrine was brilliant same with other locations and tour guide was very friendly & informative about locations.Also the driver did a brilliant job navigating the road to the shrine.

This day tour was exceptional, and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our guide, Sophie, was wonderful—attentive and patient. The itinerary was well-planned, and she introduced Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Japanese culture with humor and wit, making her explanations equally engaging in both English and Chinese. Every place we visited was beautiful. This trip became the most memorable experience for our entire family! Highly recommended!

Review for: Depart from TOKYO

The trip was well-organized. The stops were perfectly timed, and our guide, Tina, provided very clear and comprehensive explanations. She was always very kind and attentive. The only issue was an initial problem with the bus, which experienced a technical difficulty, but this was promptly resolved by the company, which provided a new vehicle within an hour, allowing the trip to proceed successfully. Regarding the excursion to Kegon Falls: be mindful of the season, as the waterfall might have low water levels in the post-winter period, before the June and July rains. This tour is highly recommended.

Amazing itinerary and perfect weather! What a beautiful day, the guide spoke English for us and he was very knowledgeable and funny, helping us get over the boredom of the bus ride there and back (which got delayed due to traffic and incidents on the highway, but we made it back to Tokyo alright). We got bathroom breaks on the way there and back at service stations, and Jeff - our guide - also told us about any toilets nearby in case we needed it! Overall, an amazing experience in a wonderful setting. I highly recommend this tour if you want to visit Nikko, the shrine, waterfalls and lake!

Enjoyed the overall trip today! The trip itinerary was as per what was described and the time given for each place is well planned and sufficient. Our guide Vicki provided us with a lot of knowledge and recommendations to the places that we can visit and restaurants we can eat at. Owing much to the perfect weather today, the photos also came out really well. At the end of our trip, we were also pleasantly surprised by the free souvenir of a Castella cake. Will definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Review for: Depart from SHINJUKU

A great day away from the city! Our tour guide Sheila was funny and insightful whilst ensuring we kept the day punctual and running smoothly. She gave interesting explanations about each place we visited which added to the appreciation of the destination. The Nikko shrine is one of the most beautifully detailed shrines I’ve ever seen, the photos truly don’t do it justice, you’ll have to go see it for yourself. At the waterfall we were able to see monkeys, and followed by a lunch trying yuba udon (the towns specialty (at my own expense)) and a walk around the lake as the sun was getting low on the horizon was amazing. Even though it’s a bit of a long drive, the bus is very comfy and the views from the windows make it worth it. The hair pin road down the mountain is an experience!

Nice day outside Tokyo, the Nikko Toshogu Temple is amazing and our guide gave us a lot of information about the history and symbolism of all the carvings. Also the waterfall and the lake are lovely places. Very nice tour guide. Strongly recommend.

Visiting Nikko was truly memorable! our guide Jeff spoke English well and explained many details especially about the temple. The Kegon Waterfall and Chuzenji Lake were both just magnificent. Our only wish is that we could spend more time here; it was truly worth visiting and would want to visit again in the future.
