The Nikko Toshogu shrine is a majestic place to be. We had some free time to explore in the shrine and surrounding area, although I wished for more. We also stopped at the Kegon waterfall and chusenji lake areas for photo opportunities. Overall the tour satisfied my needs to be transported to these amazing places. The tour was bilingual in Spanish and English, but I didn’t know signing up for the tour. English was not the guide’s first language. He did share some historical background about the places we visited but probably could not compare to a local. Also, lunch options were extremely limited where we stopped, and only cash taken (again not stated in the description of the tour). There were plenty of stops made for bathroom/snack time. Overall, for the price paid, was worth the trip vs going to these places by myself in one day.

I found that the team organizing the excursion (Manuel, Akamato and Sophie) knew how to share their good humor to make the experience great. We had enough free time between activities to enjoy the visits (which is not the case with all guided tours). Nikko is a beautiful city and Manuel took the time to share his knowledge of the places, but also his anecdotes about Japan. Thank you again. The only points that I regret are that 1) the visit to the bridge that we see in the photo is not covered by the bus (but you can go there on foot on your free time) and 2) I would have appreciated if the guide spoke more in English (even if the majority of the group spoke Spanish). Since I understand Spanish, it was not a problem but be careful if this is not the case! Thank you again and I recommend 100%.

What great service and care he took us under his wing and gave us a life long memories never to forget. Waterfall was breathtaking. Ahmed took us to dinner and it was the best food we had in Tokyo.If your looking for a great trip he is the man , If we where staying longer he said there’s 4other trips to do but unfortunately we have to fly out tomorrow.

Driver was very nice and the trip was very good overall showed us a nice restaurant also to eat in the village

Well done, we had a great day! Noramuhajid was great!
