We had an amazing day with our guide Ken-san and driver Toshi-san. They were punctual and excellent communicators and Ken was very informative and interested in our family, and very good with our two young boys at Edo wonderland. Ken and Toshi were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble, they even went on an ice-cream hunt for our kids. We will remember this tour fondly and highly recommend.

What an incredible day with our guide Noriko and our driver Tak. We drove from Tokyo to Nikko in a comfortable car, we saw 3 amazing waterfalls, and enjoyed the changing of the leaves. We also got an amazing hike in the National Park. What an incredible day. Thank you again Noriko and Tak- for the amazing day and for all the photos you took!! I highly recommend this team!
