- DWDonald· October 16th, 2025This was an amazing tour. Be forewarned it’s quite a physical tour with mountains to climb and lots of walking in cities. It is well worth it. The home stay was amazing as we got to really get a glimpse of Japanese culture.Show more

Grace
Asked on July 8th, 2024is there anyway to get a better price on this departure date (14 September). We will be coming from a Korean trip and would struggle to make September 7 departure which is cheaper and prefer 14 September?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2024
We run promotions for a variety of reasons, one of them being low passenger numbers. The September 14 departure is almost sold out (only 4 spaces left) and therefore it is not currently on sale and we can not apply a promo to this departure. The September 7 has quite a bit of availability which is why it is on sale.
