    Yes it was a very busy tour, it would have been nice to have a little down time. Too much crammed into each day. Felt like an endurance trip.

    I booked this tour last minute. It was an amazing experience and went beyond my expectations. The travel consultant Nicole has been friendly and helpful, always responded to me promptly. The tour guide in TOKYO was enthusiastic. He answered my questions with detailed information. I enjoyed chatting with him... He also took me nice pictures of Mount FUJI. Here I have to say I was VERY VERY lucky! The weather on the day was favourable and I was able to see the breathtaking view of FUJI. Thanks to agate travel for this wonderful travel experience. Highly recommend!

    I have been to many countries and this was my second time to Japan. I travelled with my parents so I decided to book a guided tour. Their service was very attentive from the booking process and the arrangements all worked out smoothly. Our guides were approaching and well-informed, sharing with us many interesting facts about the sites. My parents enjoyed themselves and I was also satisfied with this travel company. The only thing I'd suggest is to provide the breakdown price on hotels, flights and tour guide service day by day. All in all I would definately recommend agatetours.

    Our tour guides were very enthusiastic and served us with a patient attitude! They all grasped fluent English and we had no problems in communication. The tour was full of joy! We visited many historical sites in Japan and through our guides’ passionate introductions we learned a lot. Japan is an enchanting country. Well worth seeing! We are looking forward to another trip with Agate.

    We travel 2 to 3 times a year to different countries. This was my first time to Japan, and also one of my favorites. The old and small alleyways in Japan were so lovely and the shrines were also very beautiful. It was a pity that we did not meet sunny days to view Mt. Fuji, but the agency has gone beyond to exchange the date for us. Travel by public transport in Japan can be interesting. We just needed to follow the guides, NO WORRY AT ALL! Our tour guide AKIO in Kyoto was amazingly excellent, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed talking with him. It was very nice to have a local to show us around!
