Reviews
This was an amazing day in Nikko and surrounding area. Pick up was punctual and as discussed. Our driver took us to few amazing places and gave us a time to explore. No rushing, no chasing, relax and enjoyable trip. We recommend to anyone!
The driver brother is very friendly, punctual and responsible. Arrange the itinerary to suit our needs.
All members of the group said that the seats in the ten-seater van were incredibly uncomfortable... everyone has a sore neck and can't sleep well. Hopefully, there is room for improvement in this area. Otherwise, everything was generally good!
The driver was on time for hotel pick-up and drop-off and proactively discussed and planned the itinerary's smoothness and time allocation in advance. They were also very enthusiastic about introducing attractions and related precautions along the way. I highly recommend this private car service!
