5.00We had a great time and our driver was very courteous and helped us purchase tickets for the attractions and helped us to order a vegetarian lunch. However, be aware that the driver is really not a tour guide as we were on our own to explore at each stop. This was fine for us but may not meet everyones expectations.
Great experience! Even...

5.00The tour to Nikko was wonderful! Rabs, our driver was a charming and friendly person that also guided us, suggested us sites that were not included in the plan originally we had, and agreed to prolong the day so we could visit and see everything we wished, till the evening. If you take a private tour, this company and driver are highly recommended.
Nikko’a attractions are superb. Although the weather was cloudy and rainy the sightseeing and views are magnificent.

5.00Hey, we liked our driver Rana, very talkative young guy who knows several languages. We decided to take a tour to Nikko because of the distance between some of the sights up there, it made for an easy day to have Rana drive us right to the spots we wanted.
