Best tour I took in years!
This was my first time doing a guided tour, and I didn’t really know what to expect. I chose this package because it seemed like a very complete package with so many cities to visit. I was skeptical about long bus ride, but my travel agent helped me realize this distance between places weren’t bad at all. And I am glad I chose this tour. The tour went very well. There were 20 people on our tour and they are between 30 and 60 years old, very lovely crowd! I made friends with another couple on the tour. The hotels they provided wasn’t luxury, but very clean and comfortable, just like I was told. The tour guide had to give us introductions on the bus prior to arrival at a temple or shrine, and it was quite thoughtful. We then had time on our own to tour the attraction. I still can’t believe we managed to visit so many places in just 8 days! The itinerary was designed in a way allowing us to tour so many places while enjoying the tour, highly recommend!
great value from this company. I spent more than a months looking for the best Japan tour for me and this one surprised me with the great price. and I am happy to say it’s truly not a “budget tour” you would expect. all hotels were comfortable. tour guide surpassed my expectations entirely!
