- SShirley· April 28th, 2025The itinerary, guide, accommodation...everything was fantastic! i should have read some of the fine print so i would have known we were going to be walking 15,000 to 25,000 steps per day, and always taking public transportation. It was also my neglect of fine print that caused me to miss out on extra activities that needed to be booked ahead of time. Have 2 pairs of very good, broken in shoes, and prepare for all seasons. I have a new appreciation for the country and the people!Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewThanks so much for your wonderful review!

- KSKathryn· January 8th, 2025Misleading information. Were treated to a budget experience at a premium package rate. Run ragged through Tokyo on all public transport. Not ideal for 65 year old knees. We saw the itinerary at a breakneck speed. No time to peruse markets or shops, they were not an interest to the guide any way. Our stay at Hakone was delightful. Missed just about every extra in the itinerary. 4 passengers, 3 paid premium, 1 paid budget - we all had budget experience. Our experience of Japan was most disappointing.Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your feedback with us.
