We were a bit surprised that the tour was in 3 languages. Unlike other tours that were all English. A lot of time was spent talking Japanese and Chinese then a few sentences in English. It was very difficult to understand and figure out what was happening. A bit disappointed that most of the times were also cut from what itinerary showed. Not at all what we believed we booked

Awesome
I had a great day, the temples were incredible, the place was magnificent, and a big thank you to this guide who helped us so well today, taught us about the place, and was super friendly. I recommend her, she was really great

Fabulous tour of Nikko and its surroundings!
Excellent experience! Yuma, our guide, was very friendly, precise, and provided us with all the details we needed and some news. The places to visit are worth it and enough time is given to be able to visit everything.
The only note I have is that the multiple reminders about the meeting times to arrive on time each time, even though we always arrived right on time or early, are quite pushy.

It's grate!
I had a wonderful time on the Nikko tour; the guide, Yuma, was simply amazing—she shared interesting stories and was very helpful. Her English was very easy to understand, too. It was 100% worth the cost and the time spent, and we were very lucky with the weather!

Best tours around Tokio
We made 3 tours with 3 guides. Eric, Allan and Yuma. Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.
They were all 3 absolute nice , friendly and perfectly organized.
If you are on a short visit in Tokio I think these tours are the best you can make to see as much as possible in limited time.

Great experience despite it being a rainy day.
Boarded the tour bus at Shinjuku station, where we were greeted by our friendly guide Yuma. She provided a good narrative for the program of the day, and kept us up to date with the important information, in writing via WhatsApp. It was particular helpful at the end of the visit at the Nikko Toshogu Shrine, where she sent us the coordinates for the bus. The Nikko Toshogu Shrine was the highlight of the tour. Due to unfortunate weather conditions, we were not able to see the Kegon water falls, just hear them. We were pretty much walking in a rain cloud.

Everything was delivered as expected
The guide was very kind and very helpful. He speaks English well though not perfectly. We went everywhere we should, and had enough time.
You do need to double-check that your tour will be in English. One e-mail from the tour operator (Gogoday) said the tour will be in Chinese only, but fortunately it was wrong. Some other customers have the misfortune of getting tours in the wrong language.
Admission fees are not included in the tour price. At the shrine and museum, a ticket costs 2,400 yen per person. At the waterfall, an elevator ticket costs 600 yen per person.

We enjoyed Whst we saw but the distance was much to far too travel
That you sit In a Coach for 5 hours and becomes cramped and uncomfy although there are toilet breaks which makes it easier! Our guide tety was great as patient all the time as we had a huge crowded bus

Interesting excursion
Travel by bus comfortable and fast. For the excursions on site each of us chose what to see, the guide gave us the main information on how to move. Organizing it yourself would have been much more complicated

Temple is worth the time on the bus!
The temple is the highlight of the tour! The site is fantastic and the setting Is amazing. The bus is a great way to get there in one day. It is worth noting that the finding the tour among all the other GoGoToday guides starting at the “Cocoon.” Was challenging. Our guide was late and it was stressful. Several of the other GoGoToday guides were rude and only one of about ten was helpful. Communication about the guide being late was not provided through the Viator app or email/text from GoGoToday. It was stressful to think we missed out tour when we arrived 20 minutes early and had to ask every single guide for help.
Also, worth noting, there is no lunch stop (food is limitedly available at stands near the sights). Do consider bringing snacks to eat (food and beverages are not allowed on the bus). This would have been five stars except for the stressful and rude start.
