Great experience! - Attary was a great guide and provided an excellent experience for us to see a part of Japan we would have otherwise missed! Not only did he get us to and from our destination safely and quickly, he also provided suggestions for pit stops along the way.

Wonderful experience - Attary was great. Very professional and a wonderful driver. Provided a substantial amount of local knowledge. Would highly recommend him for other tours

My guide made a great experience even greater - My tour guide was professional, well informed, friendly, and accommodating. I got much more out of the experience than I would have if I’d gone alone or used some of the marginal tour services I saw advertised. Highly recommended.

Day trip to snow monkeys - Our guide Attary arrived ahead of time so we were on the road promptly at 6am to beat the Tokyo traffic. Attary was friendly and provided good information on the drive up to Nagano. The snow monkeys were gorgeous playful creatures and well worth the walk up the 1.5km path to see them in the hot springs. He also took us to a famous ramen restaurant that we rated the best we’ve had so far. A quick visit to the Kokusai Museum was very interesting. It was a long day but absolutely worth doing!

Memorable Snow Monkey family day - Attary was wonderful! He was professional and kind. We had a fabulous family day visiting the snow monkeys and eating delicious Ramen. It was worth the drive!

Unforgettable Experience - We had a wonderful experience from the moment we sat in the car. The car was spacious, very comfortable and clean. Our driver Usman was extremely friendly very pleasant and a pleasure to have as a driver. Seeing the snow monkey's was absolutely amazing and an experience we will not forget. Thank you Usman for being wonderful to us.

Starting early at the... - Starting early at the recommendation of our driver was key to a really lovely day. Truly magical to see the monkeys in and out of the springs, and amazingly close.

Wonderful Trip!!!!!!! - I had an absolutely incredible experience on my Snow Monkey Park and Nagano tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to my guide, Hadi. From the very beginning, Hadi stood out for his professionalism, warmth, and genuine character. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating insights about the snow monkeys, local culture, and the history of Nagano that really enriched the entire trip. What made it even more special was how he tailored his explanations to keep things engaging and easy to understand without ever feeling overwhelming. Hadi’s attention to detail and thoughtful planning made the day feel seamless and stress-free. He ensured we stayed on schedule while still giving me plenty of time to fully enjoy each stop—especially at the Snow Monkey Park, where he helped me find the best viewing spots and patiently answered all of our questions. Beyond his expertise, Hadi was simply a joy to spend the day with. Friendly, approachable, and genuinely caring, he went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and happy. If you’re considering a tour the Snow Monkey park in Nagano, I cannot recommend Hadi highly enough. He truly elevates the experience and turns a great tour into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Hadi, for such a wonderful day!

Nagano Snow Monkeys - Our private driver Attary was fantastic for our Viator tour from Tokyo to Nagano to see the famous snow monkeys. It’s definitely a long drive from Tokyo, so having a private driver made the day smooth and stress-free. Attary got us there and back safely and was incredibly accommodating throughout the day. Two people in our group decided the cold was a bit too much for the snow monkey trek, so Attary kindly drove them over to the nearby art museum while I bundled up and made the walk up the mountain to see the monkeys. And I have to say — the trek was absolutely worth it! One of the biggest advantages of having Attary as a private driver is the flexibility. There’s no waiting for a large tour group or sticking to a rigid schedule. We were able to leave locations when we wanted, return when we were ready, and truly enjoy the day at our own pace. Thank you, Attary, for a safe and comfortable ride and for helping make this a wonderful day trip from Tokyo!

Be aware they will charge you more!!! - I want to start by saying that I was fully aware when booking this that I was booking a driver only. The driver will pick you up from your location and drive you to the snow monkey park and then drop you off and pick you back up. The listing says 10-12 hours. This is where I have an issue. Is it 10 or is it 12? Because our driver was going to charge us 10000 yen ($100) for an extra hour and then it got to $200 for 2 hours after 10 hours???? Sooo are we paying for 10 hours or 12? Kind of important. The drive started good. We got picked up and dropped off at the snow monkeys. Me and my daughter had fun seeing them. I would highly recommend going there and I like that I hired a driver and didn’t have to sort the trains and buses etc. (these monkeys were more exciting to see then the forest monkeys in Kyoto) Along with the listing saying 10-12 hours it also says drop off at onsen and a temple and lunch. When the driver picked us up he said we would only have time for the lunch or temple or onsen. If we wanted to do lunch and the temple it would be an extra hour ($100) so we said we didn’t want to do the onsen anyways. Let’s go to the temple. The temple was great. Super neat. The crypt tour was a bit scary being in total darkness. Then the driver picked us up from there and said that he could drive us to get lunch but it would be 30 mins out of the way so it would be $200 extra dollars now. (There were like twenty places to eat right where we were!) Anyways so we didn’t want lunch we just wanted to go back to the hotel. We didn’t want to pay an extra 100-200$ to go to lunch 30 minutes away! Then he started driving and drove us to an Italian restaurant! We said we weren’t hungry but he went there anyways, so we said we could wait while he ate (he could have done that in the hours we were at the other tours but whatever) So we got back to the hotel. He asked us to write a review and send him a screenshot. I didn’t write it right then and I certainly don’t feel like I need to send him a screenshot. He did not end up charging us extra. I feel like this is an ok tour if you are a firm person with a backbone that can stand up for themselves and not be talked into stuff you don’t want to do and then charged for it. I feel like the ad needs to be more clear if you are paying for 10 hours or 12 hours. You need to be very aware when booking this that you might be squeezed for more money and you will not have time to do all the things that the ad lists. Because of this and because of the driver I rated this 2 stars. If the ad was more clear on it being 10 hours or 12 hours and if the driver wasn’t asking for more money then I would have rated it better as it was nice to have a driver to go there. But be aware!!!
