Nikko is a must visit

5.00Highly recommend this tour! Rashid was punctual, polite, friendly and an excellent driver. He was able to accommodate our request to skip one stop and add another. We were expecting just a driver, but Rashid also told us about the places we were going to see before each stop. The drive is long, so be prepared for that. The minivan we took was very comfortable and there’s a stop halfway, both outbound and coming back. In addition to the excellent service provided, the various sights were an absolute delight! Toshogu Shrine has beautiful grounds and structures, stunning details and colors - this is a must see. Also wonderful were Shinkyo Bridge, Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, Rinnoji Temple and Kanmangafuchi Abyss. Even with the rainy weather we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nikko is accessible by public transportation, but there’s no way you can cover as much ground that way. Having a private driver and guide made it possible to see everything we wanted to experience in one day and on our own time schedule. Rashid, thank you for a fantastic and unforgettable day!

1.00We took Yujin Tours ”day to Nikko” because of the outstanding reviews on Viator about their *deeply knowledged* guides. To start, the driver picked us up 1:40 hours late. So the tour started at 9:40 A.M. Considering it gets dark at 5 P.M., it was not possible to go to the falls neither to see the lake, both offered in the tour description . The driver almost didn’t talk to us. So, no guiding at all. We were droped off on places, on our own, any explanations were given. We even had to come back to Toshugo s Heine because we discovered on the web that we had lost the highlight! The explanation Yoshi gave us: We just payed for an english speaking driver to Nikko. Seriously???? What about all the Viator reviews? What about the delate pick Up?
Nikko is beautiful but...

3.00This was pretty expensive for what it was. 6 hours of driving for about 4 hours in Nikko. The driver is not a guide and doesn't give any information about the locations except where the ticket counters are. Our driver was a half hour late but was kind enough to extend at the end to make up for it. I would only rebook if we had a large group and couldn't rent a car ourselves.
A great way to experience Nikko

5.00We had an incredible time on this tour! Our guide, Haju, was fantastic - very knowledgeable about the locations we visited, friendly, a safe driver, and his recommended lunch spot did not disappoint. The itinerary made it so easy to see all the best Nikko has to offer in a day. Plus, the vehicle was so comfortable, the best transportation we've had on a tour like this across many countries. Worth every penny!
