VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

A wonderful day away from the city

Nikko is a charming little city that would be fun to explore. We enjoyed the shrine complex very much! The lunch was delicious and gave us a taste of traditional cuisine and service style. Driving through the countryside was a nice break from the hustle of the city. The waterfall and lake area were beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to both share information and answer questions- also shared humorous anecdotal side notes. My only suggestion is to do the lake first and then the shrine after lunch to avoid the crowds.

Interesting tour

Very good tour guide. beautifull tour. Nikko is very intersting place to visit

Winding Road

The road leading up to Nikko is quite famous and the journey is beautiful! While the Shrine is also very beautiful esp the woods at the back, make sure not to accidentally join the students' tour. We joined our guide as well but we realized that it would have been a better experience for us if we took everything in by ourselves only as that would have given us a semblance of peace. Some might enjoy going with the group though. To each her own! Also, we missed the falls! Yup, we did. We didn't understand our guide. We thought we were merely going to a parking lot.
I have to say that this tour has the best lunch!!! I'd love to have that set again!

Lake and Kegon Falls are worth it, Shrines and Pagoda does not interest me

We didn’t know that there was a pick up at keio Plaza, too bad we spent time walking and for the taxi, but everything was good tho :)

Nikko trip

I thought everything about the trip was great! The tour guide was fantastic and very attentive and knowledgeable. The only criticism I have is that there was more travelling than sightseeing. I understand that Nikko is quite far from Tokyo but would rather have had a bit longer in the 3 locations and less travel if it meant staying overnight even. Otherwise a worthwhile trip!

Good

Good tour, too bad we couldn’t see the lake or waterfall due to thick fog.

Lástima de niebla!

Los templos son magníficos. Lastima que por la niebla no pudimos ver ni el lago ni la cascada. La guía fue amable y profesional, la comida sabrosa y el conductor lo hizo estupendamente en esas reviradas carreteras.

Good experience

Toshogu Shrine was very good. The falls were a bit of a disappointment because the sun was behind them. The lunch was OK. I recommend this tour.

very nice trip

The guide i have to mention that was very nice. The day to Nikko was very nice. The story of three monkeys was very impressive for me. To Kirifuri Falls was a little bit cold beacause i was in 29 th december, but it was a spectacular view.

Great Tour, the tour guide was very informative as were the tour guide on the other 3 discovery tours that we did. Would recommend this tour.

We had unexpected snow, which put a bit of a damper on things but still had a great day.

Fantastic tour guide! Provided lots of information about Japanese culture and experiences, which was really interesting. He was also very patient and didn't rush us and fuss like some other guides had done
