    As a first-time traveller to Japan, this was an incredible experience and one I highly recommended to other like-minded explorers. Over 11 days, our group travelled from Tokyo to Nagano, experiencing everything from temples and shrines, to an authentic kendo experience, and even viewing the snow monkeys! The itinerary was never bare, but it also allowed plenty of time to explore at your own pace. A winter trip and strategic planning ensured minimal crowds when visiting the major tourist hotspots (such as Fushimi Inari Taisha), and when we did encounter the crushing bustle of people (usually on the train!) it seemed like an addition to the experience rather than a constant nightmare. We definitely couldn’t have had the experience we did though if it wasn’t for our tour guide, Jordan. Always cool, calm, and collected, Jordan’s knowledge of the country and his impeccable organisation ensured that we were always where we needed to be, and that we were experiencing the best of Japan without worrying about if we were going to miss crucial transport or activities. When we did run into a road block (the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building was closed), Jordan smoothly pivoted and we had an equally awesome time at the Skytree instead. We also all appreciated Jordan’s food and activity recommendations during free time, and learned way more about the regions we were visiting than if we’d explored on our own. Overall, I had an amazing trip and I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone considering travelling to Japan (and while I can’t speak for all the members of the group, I’m sure they’d agree!). Thank you Jordan, and thank you One Life Adventures!

    It was a very good tour. Our guide did a great job. The only issue was the latter part of the tour had a reduced group, so the guide was also the driver. At one stop when we were in the museum, someone broke into our van and stole some money. Even as safe as Israel is, you cannot be taking tourists around with all of their luggage in plain view and leave the vehicle unattended. Ever. Anywhere.

    Metropolitan Hotel in Tel Aviv allotted a very small and smelly room to us. Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem was not upto the mark. It offered all members of the group rooms in the lowest floors only. More importantly, the room assigned to us was not properly maintained. There were problems with the sink in the toilet, TV, noisy AC, absence of hangers in the wardrobe etc. The staff were rude. Similarly, the Grand Palace Hotel in Amman was not in good shape. There were problems in the toilet, dirty linen in the bed etc. Only the Leonardo Plaza Hotel in Tiberias and the Nabatean Castle Hotel in Petra were excellent. The bus driver Abid in Israel was not reliable. He kept us waiting at various pick-up points. Our visit to Bethlehem got delayed by more than an hour, because of which we could not see the Church of Nativity properly. We would suggest that the Bethlehem part of the visit should take place early in the morning followed by visits to the Church of John the Baptiste and the Holocaust Museum. All the guides were very well informed and answered our questions except the guide at Bethlehem (Firdous). Overall, the visit was extremely well coordinated by CTO.
