Lovely Nikko trip - Our Driver-cum-Guide, Aki brought us to see as many sights as possible. He was very patient especially with kids' time management. He also gave us good tips and leads even on sites which were were not part of the tour.

Day in the mountains - The driver was nice and took us there safely. I asked if he can drop us off to a restaurant instead of back to the hotel. He did

Excellent day tour to Nikko - Our driver/guide Ahmed was terrific. (We were delighted to have him again on another Ohayo Travel day tour at a later date.) He was thoroughly professional: prompt, polite, and a pleasure to be with. Ahmed's English was very good, and he provided lots of useful background about the culture, history, etc. He went out of his way to be accommodating to us. Not only did he take us to all the wonderful destinations in the itinerary, he even took us to another great spot that we hadn't expected. He also found us a fine place to enjoy local food for lunch. Some of the numerous highlights were Kegon Falls, Akechidaira Observation Area, and the Nikko Tosho-gu shrine. Overall, it was a memorable experience.

Beautiful tour with a very safe driver - We had a lovely time and felt very safe! We traveled on a Saturday and traffic was terrible but our drive kept a positive attitude and made sure that we didn’t miss anything. It was nice to have a day where we didn’t have to worry about coordinating transportation. Nikko is absolutely breathtaking!! Don’t miss it!

A Most Memorable Trip To Nikko With Our Guide, Ahmed! - It was a beautiful day for sightseeing in Nikko, and our guide Ahmed made sure that we got to see everything we were hoping for. The day was long and could have been much longer due to a major accident on the highway as we were returning to Tokyo that evening. Ahmed was able to find alternative routes and got us back to our hotel at the scheduled arrival time. Thanks again, Ahmed!

Awful experience to Nikko - The guide on the trip maybe spoke 4 words total the whole day, and he could speak English. I was really hoping for some History, or Japanese culture along the way. Totally overpriced and we paid for tickets to everything. I’m very disappointed
