- JCJAYNE· June 3rd, 2025My sister and I joined the Japan Golden Route with Hiroshima 2025 tour in May and we enjoyed the tour very much. There were 17 people in the group and we had no problem at all. The tour guide Osman Son was very knowledgeable and very concerned of the welfare of the tour members. We learned a lot about Japan and introductory Japanese phrases from him. He became unwell before we moved on to the Mt. Fuji and Samantha Son took over the rest of the trip. She was also a very good tour guide. We were taken care of by Mochi Son who drove the bus with care and safety in mind. He wished us a good trip and a welcome back whenever we stopped at the a sight seeing place. Kudos to all. The itinerary of the trip touched the main important cities and sights. The food was abundant and we enjoyed all the meals that were provided to us. My sister and I will go back to Japan and visit other parts of Japan if the Tomato Travel offers the trips because we enjoyed this particular trip very much. We also enjoyed the optional excursion of Tokyo that amazed us.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
Leticia· June 3rd, 2025Thank you, Tomato Travel, for the fabulous tour! My family of five (myself, my husband, and our children aged between 8 and 13) joined the tour in Osaka and had the best time! The itinerary was excellent—we covered the main spots in Japan without the tour ever feeling rushed, slow, repetitive, or boring. It was just right! Osman was our tour guide up until Kyoto. He was very friendly and approachable, but unfortunately became unwell during the tour. After we disembarked the bullet train at Mt. Fuji, we were met by another tour guide, Samantha, who was an absolute delight! She was extremely helpful, gentle, organised, and informative. Overall, the tour was fantastic. Our group consisted of only 17 people (mainly Australians, Canadians, and Americans), so there were never any issues gathering after each outing. The food was scrumptious—we had breakfast every morning and some lunches and dinners, all of which were impeccable. We loved the trip so much that we want to come back to explore more of Japan. I left Tokyo wanting to see more, especially since we spent our free day taking the kids to Disneyland instead of sightseeing. I would definitely consider travelling with Tomato Travel again—they were absolutely great!Show more

- BHBrenda· April 22nd, 2025Hotels and hotel meals were very good. Time to eat lunch was always very short and rushed. We missed so much information from Osmond by earphones not being provided until the last day. He was very helpful but needed to let people know the importance of staying together or letting him know if they left the group. He didn’t provide his cell number until day 3. Printed material of simple Japanese words would have been helpful. Other tours provided some sort of gift from travel company. Communication with company was punctual. Bus was comfortable and driver was good and safe. We had 24 in our group and it would have difficult had there been more.Show moreTrip date: April 2025

Trip date: April 2025 - UPUwe· April 9th, 2025The tour itself was good, but it would have been nice if we would have had a greeting at the beginning of the tour. All we had was a time and a place to meet and off we went. Also at the end should be the last dinner together since we all grew together as a group. The hot pot dinner should have been explained to us, not everyone knew what to do and it ended up in a chaos. Not being easy on us or the staff at the restaurant. Since we booked an English speaking tour we expected a little bit better English, sometimes we didn’t know what Maza tried to explain. Don’t get me wrong he tried his best.Show moreTomato Travel commented on this reviewHi Uwe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the tour.

- DODavid· March 18th, 2025Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We had a really nice and diverse group of 14 people - a manageable size group with lots of room on the bus. I chose the Japan Golden Route with Hiroshima because it took me to places I wanted to see- Himeji Castle, the floating torii gate, Kyoto. Our guide Aki was friendly and knowledgeable. He provided assistance when I needed it to sort out an issue with the hotels. He also personally took me to an area of Kyoto station that I wanted see so that I wouldn't get lost. The itinerary changed on days 7 and 8 due to weather conditions but this was understandable. Maybe there could be an alternate activity to the lake cruise if the weather is inclement. Do wish we had a list of our fellow travellers' names and countries of origin at the start to make it easier to remember names and get acquainted. The hotels were fine from my perspective. Hotel It in Osaka was close to the Osaka Metro station for my evening trip to Dotonbori. Again Aki, our guide, showed the group how to get to the station and how to purchase tickets. The hotel in Kyoto did not have an onsite dinner option but I opted for the convenience store across the street as I did not want much to eat. There was a bit of a hike for taking out luggage to the hotel from the main road. The Kyoto hotel was close to our destination the next day which saved time. My first time to Japan and this trip was very good introduction. Plenty of time in each place. Did not feel rushed which is important.Show moreTrip date: February 2025
