What people love about Japan Tours in February
Had an amazing trip! Fast paced but enough free time to explore on your time if you like. Our tour leader Jordan was fantastic—new to the role but super knowledgeable, full of great suggestions, and incredibly friendly. Accommodations were quite nice as well.
Japan Winter Classic 11 Day - One Life Adventures
- Japan Winter Wonder
James was absolutely world class for your tour. Awesome bloke to hang around and would definitely go on another Contiki with him as manager.
- Explore Japan: Snow Monkey & Onsen (Private Guided)
The tour was a great way to experience Japan and get an overall impression. At first, the trip was daunting, but the company made it simple by arranging it, buyng the tickets and booking guides. Obviously, one can do this oneself, but you need time and prior knowledge. The next time I visit I will do it myself. The guides provided were excellent and this was a highlight of the trip, each one was different and highly knowledgeable, and they provided a good commentary on Japan. there were some hiccups and things weren't properly explained. It needs to be clearly understood where you will meet the guide. Please mention that everywhere you go there are rental lockers to store luggage so you can see the sites without having to drag your suitcases around. Check the location of hotels in relation to the day's journey, so that a long train ride after the monkey visit is not needed. All these hiccups were sorted by the staff at headquarters, so the customer service at that end was also good.
