Amazing day trip to Nikko in the rain! - What a fabulous trip we had in Nikko! My family and I are grateful. Although it was raining, we were able to see everything the itinerary said plus extra. Most of all, our guide Mr. Khan did a fabulous job in guiding us for the entire trip. Not only he shared his knowledge about Nikko, he also took pictures for us and treated us like family. Awesome trip! We can never thank you enough Mr. Khan. We are also thankful to TripAdvisor/Viator for this amazing trip! You are highly recommended!

Beautiful scenic experience - We loved seeing the natural beauty of Japan. The historic sites of the temple were outstanding and have huge cultural significance. Our driver was fantastic and drove under very difficult conditions of heavy rain on the way to Nikko. Thanks for looking after us.

Wonderful Revisit to Nikko - A return from my first visit in 1947 was most memorable -- the temples are the same, but the towns and cities are unrecognizable. Our guide Mukarram was suburb and his familiarity with Nikko and the best ways to travel from and to return to Yokohama made it all very pleasant. He was a very enjoyable and informative companion.

Just a driver, not a guide - The driver drove safely and had a comfortable car. The problem is with the description of the event/service, hence 3 stars. The terms "guide" and 'english speaking guide" means that they actually guide you through each location/temple and relay information about each. This is not the case. He is just a driver, who has been driving/touring for 6 months. Also, he is not a local of Japan, and while that might not matter, as a guide in a country, I think it does. If you have done a ton of research and know exactly what you need to see and why, this driver will get you there safely. For us, we did only minimum research, so we were disappointed not to have a knowledgeable guide. I asked about the tree species we passed on the 3 hour drive, and he said, 'yes, these are trees.". One occasion, he parked at one temple and said, "when you exit the first building make sure to go to the one behind it. There is another temple". We went to the building behind, but in fact we were meant to walk around the corner down a long gravel path to the mega amazing Toshogu shrine, which we almost missed and def spent less time in it because we spent too much time at the Rinnoji temple not knowing what we should prioritize. The Toshogu shrine to me read like their Lincoln memorial, in terms of importance. That priority was not communicated or "guided".

Disappointing - You book a private tour with the assumption that you have not only paid for a rental car with a driver. You expect an interactive and entertaining tour guide to share their knowledge and experience with you while you spend like 7 hours in the car. That was absolutely not the case as there was almost zero conversation.
