- FBFaith· May 21st, 2023Well executed small group tour by Trafalgar. Excellent tour leader who anticipated every need. The tour gives a "taste" of Japan in a short period, covering key big cities and some rural areas. Variey of fun hands on experiences, such as cooking lessons, tea ceremony. Accommodations were top rated and all well located (except Tokyo), affording easy access for independent exploring during off-tour time. Every day is a walking day, so it is not suited for those with mobility issues. We had a companionable group of travelers of international origin. This is a good tour to introduce the country, traditions and culture and provides a sound foundation for those who wish to come back to Japan for more in-depth explorations. Highly recommend.Show moreTrip date: April 2023

Charles
Asked on November 23rd, 2024Would u consider your tours easy, moderate, or strenuous
TrafalgarOperator•Written November 2024This trip activity level will be dynamic which means, there would be frequent early morning starts to maximize sightseeing and regular evening activities. The cumulative daily standing is 1-5 hours, and the cumulative daily walking is up to 3-6 miles/5-10 km per day. The terrains are of longer distances that may involve a mix of inclined, flat, and uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones, hills, and stairs. The sightseeing style is active with walking and standing involved. Guests should be able to get on and off the coach without assistance frequently and carry own luggage in some instances (trains and/or ferries).

Asked on February 11th, 2024I am interested in a tour to Japan, but we are a family of 4, 2 adults, and two kids (5 and 4 years old). I don't know if it is possible to book accommodation in only one room or has to be into twin rooms. Travel date - could be April or October.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2024
You can only book 2 Twin rooms since you have 2 kids. You can book a twin room with one of each kid in the room. Please see the October 2024 dates: 04-14 Oct 2024 - $6,975.00 per person based on a Twin Room, 18-28 Oct 2024 - $6,975.00 per person based on a Twin Room.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2024
April is a VERY popular time to travel to Japan and it may already be to late to book a tour for then. October would be a much better time to travel as it will be very less crowded. There would not be a family room to fit all 4 travelers in Japan. You would be looking at 2 rooms. Would this be okay with you?

Asked on April 6th, 2022Do we book our own airfares and organize transfers from airport to hotel etc do you only do land content, we have had a few trafalgar tours and would like everything to be organized for us for peace of mind.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written April 2022
For International Flights we can always add them on after booking and we can book them with Trafalgar in order to provide you with a complete package for peace of mind with transfers to and from the airports.
