    An amazing well thought out itinerary. Amazing tour guides and got some free days in there to explore separately also. Absolutely recommend, just wish we got more time in Osaka at the end.

    Communication with TourRadar before the trip was excellent. We liked the structure of the tour where we received the train tickets and travelled by ourselves. We met local guides and learned a lot about the wonderful places the Kyushu tour brought us and about Japan. Every step of the tour was well organized. The hotels we stayed with breakfast were all excellent.
