    Juno Choi was excellent! He was very helpful and thoughtful. He was always willing to help us in everyday situations. He gave the extra mile all the time!! The only thing I would improve is that I would guide more in the places I visit because I don’t know what I am really looking at in the temples and shrine. We had general information, but I wanted a little more. Maybe a video with general information of the temples or shrines of what we are about to see or that they guide us directly to the spot. They gave us general info on the temple or shrine, but I didn’t know where to go after that.

    The tour was good; it had a lot of walking. It is certainly not for people that aren’t physically fit. Something to warn people about, for sure! I truly think you should consider asking a group like ours if they prefer to take all the trains and buses vs taking Uber or Taxi. Sometimes the difference was 100-200 Yen. The group could either pay the difference or you could add it to the price. When you change it to US dollars it is very little and the group could be willing to pay for it. Plus, being underground you don’t see anything, vs being in the taxi you can at least see part of the city. Another thing is that we save time when using the taxi because the transfers sometimes took longer, plus when we were carrying the luggage, it was stressful and strenuous with kids.

    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten April 2025

      All of our Japan tours include quite a lot of walking of 15,000-20,000 steps per day with a lot of stairs on some of the days. Unfortunately, I don't think out tours would be suitable and I would try to find an operator that offers covers the destinations with a private vehicle.
