Great day in Nikko - Our very safe and nice driver took us around to hit all the key sites (Nikko park falls and lake, the Toshogu and nearby shrines and the imperial villa), making our visit day very efficient. Comfortable ride. Great choice of a casual lunch place next to Ryuzu Falls. Thank you

Nikko - The tour company JP Destinations provided us with a last minute tour. (As our scheduled tour cancelled 12 hours prior). Thank you Eran for coming to our rescue. Your knowledge and experience was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour company and Eran. We were able to see everything on our list in Nikko. Warmest regards Marge & Max.

Exploring Nikko - This was a wonderful day. It was towards the end of our trip in Japan, and it was a great way to relax and unwind, and see the nature in the beauty of Japan. Our driver picked us up on time he took us to wonderful sites and viewing points of nature. We took a gondola up the mountain. We had a beautiful lunch. We went to shrines and temples. They accommodated every need for us to have a perfect day in Nikko

Don’t miss Nikko - Nikko is beautiful a must see when in Japan . Amazing mountains, amazing views, beautiful waterfalls one picture area after another. Visited UNESCO world, heritage site, shrines, and temples. Had an amazing lunch in a very traditional Japanese restaurant serving local fish from the lakes in the area truly an amazing day. Khan Was our driver and tour guide was extremely friendly informative and brought us to the best areas.

Beautiful Nikko! - Khan was our guide for the day. On top of the long drive, he brought us to explore the beautiful region of Nikko where we got to see amazing views e.g. Lake Chuzenji, Kegon falls, Shinkyo bridge etc. Lunch at a local restaurant he recommended was amazing as well. Overall, it was an amazing experience!👍

Not a Guided Tour - The driver and the sights were great. Please note that this is not a guided tour as advertised. If you want a self guided tour, this is for you. If you want a guided tour of Nikko, look elsewhere.

Buyer Beware - Hate being in the position of having to write this review. First off this was not a private guided tour. This was a driver that basically shared very little information and just drove you to spots and said you’re on your own. For the price this was a rip off. Second, we should’ve been notified in advance that weather conditions may not prevent some stops. Third, driver was a bit reckless. Driving too fast on hairpin curves making us carsick but more importantly had their phone covering the dash watching a movie while driving the entire way back from Nikko to Tokyo. This is a very dangerous practice and could’ve jeopardized our safety. When asked questions like pretty much couldn’t or didn’t answer what things were. Overall do not recommended, poor communications and extreme lack of effort made.
