We enjoyed our tour of Nikko. Our guide was very friendly. The ride out was a bit long but the countryside was nice to see. It was definitely busy with many other tourists but it was fairly easy to navigate. There are stairs to climb to get to the shrines so be aware. It was humid but there was a nice breeze so it wasn’t too bad.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Sara! We're delighted you enjoyed your Nikko tour and found your guide so friendly. You're right that Nikko sits a little way from the city, but as you found, the countryside views along the drive are a lovely part of the experience, and the shrines are well worth the climb. Thanks too for the helpful tips for future travelers on the stairs and the weather. We hope to welcome you back for another Tourist Japan adventure soon!

We were advised of a late amendment for the meeting point which turned out to be the wrong place. However, Sofia phoned us & patiently called us on the phone to give us directions so that we were able to meet up & go on the tour. Sofia was very friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the sights
Thank you for sharing this. We're glad Sofia was able to call you straight away and guide you to the right spot so you didn't miss any of the tour. We're always refining our meeting-point details and communication to make the start of each tour as smooth as possible. It's great to hear Sofia's friendliness and insights still made for a memorable day, and we'd love to welcome you back with Tourist Japan.
