I opted for the private tour to Nikko since I wanted to customize the locations of our stops and length at each location. Our driver, Haider Shah, was very accommodating. Our first stop was Edo Wonderland. Great place to just get lost in time. We didn’t have a selfie stick so our driver offered his. How cool is that!! We took our time walking the streets of a town that is preserved in time. Haider waited patiently for us 😁😁 since we took more than 2 hours. At our second stop, Shinkyo Bridge, Haider was kind to take our photo. He picked few spots so we had different views of the amazing bridge built in1636. At our next stop, Nikko Futarasan-Jinja Shrine, Haider joined us and gracefully took pictures every time we hit a great spot (which was actually every few minutes). That place is surreal!!! At the next stop, Toshogu Shrine, Haider gave us clear instructions where to go and where to meet him when we were done. He took us to our last two stops, Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls (so worth seeing) even though that put us over our allotted time with him. Now that’s the kind of driver you want!!! And to top it off at the end of the trip he was kind to gives us pointer on Hiroshima and Itsukushima Jinja.Excellent communication from tour company and Deo our local guide/driver. Despite the weather, we managed to see various sites and had flexibility in our itinerary. Deo was lovely and took very good care of us. Thank you!

Suggest you don’t spend too long at bridge and waterfall as the temple and the palace are unique and require more time than we had. We recommend eat lunch in the car and don’t wSte time in restaurant as the food is average.

Tanaka was very attentive. I had a food allergy and he made sure he checked with the different restaurants to make sure they were able to accommodate my allergy then sat with us to make sure i was able to order something I could eat. He asked questions about our interests so he could adapt the tour and make sure we got to see the things that we would enjoy. A very pleasant and kind person.Nikko in the autumn is one of the quintessential voyages one must do in their lifetime!

Nikko in the autumn is one of the quintessential voyages one must do in their lifetime! The experience was pleasant and efficient, however, the communication with the tour company and experience with the driver could be improved. The insistence of using WhatsApp was not appreciated. While it may be the tour company's and driver's preference, insisting that I download and use this app while on this tour was annoying. I don't use this app in the US and I am not familiar with using this app, so having to download it in Japan while sitting in the car and figuring out how to use this app on the fly was not appreciated. The driver's attitude was a bit colder that I would have preferred for this line of work, however, he drove us very quickly and we made all of the stops as promised in the tour. We weren't dropped off at the main door of the Toshogu Shrine, but at the other shrines, so we were confused once we walked around to get to the "main" shrine. I would have preferred to have been dropped off at the main Toshogu Shrine.Went for day trip to see autumn foliage and was satisfied with the service.

Went for day trip to see autumn foliage and was satisfied with the service. The driver drives smoothly, the car was clean and comfortable and suitable for quite large group. The team really helped in planning the trip and gave a lot of recommendation. Since autumn is peak season in Nikko, the traffic was quite heavy. But the view is out of the world Recommended one!
