- MMike· April 27th, 2024Here's our recent experience having booked with CostSavers through Costco. We went to Japan for 10 days, stopping in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji, Osaka. Overall we enjoyed the country and the people, who are extremely polite and friendly. You will enjoy how clean everything is and the courteous people. This review is of the CostSaver tour. Our Travel Director Hiroko was great, with insights and historical knowledge of the cities and sights we visited. When we booked an optional excursion through CostSavers that wasn't led by Hiroko, the local specialists were harder to understand and moved quickly, with little time to enjoy the attractions we visited. One of them didn't wait for the last of our group until my wife spoke up for him to stop and wait. First off, there was nobody to pick us up at the Tokyo airport as promised. After an hour on the phone we ended up taking two trains and walking to our hotel. This was totally unacceptable, and the start of our vacation. Then, when we left Osaka, they simply provided bus fair to the airport. I wish we would have been told up front that this was the arrangement. The dinners that were included with our tour were average, mostly buffet style. We had much better meals when we went out on our own eating at local restaurants. All the local food was great, no worries about getting sick from sushi, sashimi or noodles. Most of the attractions we went to felt rushed, with only 30 to 60 minutes of free time to enjoy the site. I understand it's hard to get most people to leave earlier in the morning to get to sites earlier, but the site visits often felt rushed. For good photo opportunities, you will probably need to leave early on your own to take less crowded photos of the bamboo forest or some of the more popular attractions. Another thing that could have been done better is to have a website or group text indicating the meeting and departure time for the next day if you were not part of the optional excursion the day before. We often had to ask our travel director at breakfast when we were departing that morning. The hotels were generally okay, but our room in Hiroshima had a bad smell every time we entered the room. We had to run the air conditioning to circulate the air and try to eliminate the smell. I expected a little better for a travel agency associated with Costo.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us.
