Tegan· March 7th, 2025Daan was a great guide, tour is well planned and had a great time in every location. Included activities were fun and i would not have considered doing them if i wasn't on a tour. Ski extension was good location and the accommodation was great.Show moreTrip date: February 2025- LLLuca· February 28th, 2025Our 11-day tour through Japan was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived in Tokyo to our final train ride back, everything was so well-organized, fun, and full of incredible experiences. A special shoutout to our guide, Daan, who truly made this trip unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, fun, and always made sure we had the best time. Whether it was helping us navigate Japanese customs, organizing activities, or just making us laugh, Daan went above and beyond to make this experience perfect. The itinerary was packed with must-see sights, from the neon lights of Akihabara and the peaceful shrines of Kyoto to the breathtaking snowy scenery in Nagano. The sushi-making class, Kendo lesson, and Snow Monkey Park visit were all highlights that made the trip extra special. One thing that stood out throughout the journey was the amazing food. Every meal was a delight, from our first welcome dinner to the delicious street food in Osaka’s Dotonbori. Whether it was fresh sushi, comforting ramen, or traditional Japanese hot pots, every bite was incredible! The group dynamic was fantastic as well—everyone was amazing, and it felt like traveling with a big group of friends. We made unforgettable memories together, and I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re considering exploring Japan, this tour is 100% worth it, especially with Daan as your guide!Show more
Trip date: February 2025 - CMChiara· February 28th, 2025This trip through Japan was truly an experience of a lifetime! The itinerary was a perfect balance of culture, adventure, and relaxation, allowing us to explore the best of Japan while also taking in its quieter, more traditional side. Our guide, Daan, was absolutely fantastic! His energy, knowledge, and passion for Japan made everything so much more immersive. He always made sure we were having a great time, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Traveling with him and our amazing group made this adventure even more memorable. One of my personal highlights was exploring the backroads of Yudanaka. Walking through the snow-covered streets of this charming little town felt like stepping into a postcard. The onsens were the perfect way to unwind—soaking in the warm waters while surrounded by the crisp winter air was pure magic. Beyond the amazing places, what made this trip truly special was our fantastic group—it felt like traveling with old friends. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Japan in a fun, immersive, and well-organized way. And if you’re lucky enough to have Daan as your guide, you’re in for an even more incredible adventure!Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- BBB· February 27th, 2025What can I say? Daan is the masterclass of guiding. Always conscious of timing & schedule, knew a lot of fun facts of different spots we visited, lots of solid recommendations for free time, very culturally aware, and was just a solid guy to hang out with throughout the tour. 10 out of 5 stars highly recommend. Ask him about the karaoke bar in Kyoto, you won’t regret it 😎Show moreTrip date: February 2025

Asked on October 26th, 2024Would like to travel with my 18 and 20 years old children, but I am 51. Am I allowed to come along, as I am over 45?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written October 2024
We have set a recommended age range of 18-45 as we see most our bookings come from travellers between the age of 21-35. As long as you are comfortable with this we would absolutely love to have all 3 of you on board. I have checked our demographics for this departure date and we do in fact have a few travellers that will be in their 40s.
