- MHMason· July 31st, 2025I had a wonderful experience with Stunning Tours. The itinerary covered all the places I had hoped to visit — from Osaka to Tokyo, Nara to Kyoto, and even Mt. Fuji to Naraijuku. For a first-time (and possibly once-in-a-lifetime) trip to Japan, this was the perfect itinerary. The price was very reasonable, and the included 3-star hotels were comfortable and well-located.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- LRLorraine· July 31st, 2025The main itinerary was good for first time to Japan. The bus was cramped it only just fit the luggage and people. Bus driver was polite. The tour guide was not good. She walked so fast and didn’t consider that it was hot. I suggested a WhatsApp group but that was not done. She could not answer my questions regarding luggage transfers and rail passes. I had to use google for answers. The optional tour to Osaka castle was overpriced. As a solo traveller I was expecting to be at least introduced to the other people on the tour this didn’t happen.Show moreStunning Tours commented on this reviewDear Lorraine, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.

- CSCamille· July 26th, 2025My family and I had a great time in Japan! The tour was well organized. Lynn, who was our tour guide, was fun and energetic. Our group only had 21 people, so it was very comfortable in the coach bus. I highly recommend this specific tour that included cities/towns in Japan that could be hard to reach without a guided tour. Just a heads up, we paid $375 per person for the Hiroshima / Miyajima optional tour. Other than that, it was a great tour!Show moreStunning Tours commented on this reviewDear Camille, Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

- JMJames· June 22nd, 2025Great value for money. The tour guide was knowledgeable and added to what was an amazing experience. It was the first occasion that I had done a guided tour and I thoroughly enjoyed having some of the stress of deciding where and when to visit various attractions. I would happily do so again.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- JWJacob· June 19th, 2025This 9-day tour of Japan was delightful. From the bustling energy of Tokyo to the peaceful charm of Kyoto and the natural beauty of Mt. Fuji, every stop on the itinerary was thoughtfully planned and well-paced. The tour struck the perfect balance between guided sightseeing and free time to explore on our own. Our tour guide Silvia was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. She brought Japanese history and culture to life in a way that made each location even more meaningful. The 3 star accommodations were comfortable and conveniently located, and the transportation was seamless throughout.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- Jacqualine· June 19th, 2025The tour felt very rushed and not all attractions listed were covered. The 9 day tour is really only 7 days so when taking that into account it's not particularly good value.Show moreStunning Tours commented on this reviewDear Jacqualine, Thank you for your feedback and for joining our Japan tour.
