    The tour involved going to lots of towns which aren't very touristy, and that provided a real insight into the country. It also had a nice mixture of activities and free time. The tour guide was also excellent, which made the trip more enjoyable. It was great that Intrepid considers sustainable tourism as part of it's tours, which I wasn't aware of prior to the tour. It would be interesting if more could be done on this front.

    Our leader Ken, was very professional which made my experience stress free. He was well prepared, helpful and humourous. The only reason i didnt give a score of then was that i didnt feel the 3 star rating on physical strength for this trip to be accurate. I felt it needed to be a four star rating on physical strength as the activities were not just above average.

    The trip was a wonderful adventure, our Guide Kenichiro was wonderful, every thing organised to the last detail.In fact I struggled on my extra day because I wasn't used to navigating myself to anywhere.I was introducedto a vast array of interesting and fascinating Japanese historical andcultural experiencesand the amazing countryside. All packed into 2 weeks.So Kenichiro I appreciate the hard work and dedication to your work.I would definitely recommend u and your skills to anyone wanting to have a Japanese adventure.

    It was very laid back, perfect combination of cities/culture & activities, and the hosts made it a real special Japanese experience. I've been to places I would never have visited on my own, and ate at places I would have never picked myself (but they were perfect!)
