- AAnonymous· October 12th, 2023Our Tour guide Noriko was excellent! So friendly and funny and knew so much about every place we went. The places were great and met so many new people. The only thing that could possibly be changed is the long bus rides to Hiroshima and then back to Osaka, as Kyoto is close to Osaka.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Cosmos

Donna
Asked on July 29th, 2023How much is the cost for the trip please? And if I can pay in instalments?
CosmosOperator•Written July 2023Unfortunately this tour is sold out for this year and has been discontinued for next year. The next best alternative is a tour called Classic Japan: Land of the Rising Sun. This is available from 2024. Do you have a date in mind at all? Moreover, how old is the child, as you may be eligible for a child discount too. Then I can get you an accurate cost.
