    Guides were very good and knowledgeable. We enjoyed their company. Some of the activities mentioned could not be done because of train times. Tokyo station was hard work. No english speaking or english signs that we could find. Need to provide more help. Transfer information from stations to hotel and return not really practical re buses and walking. Taxi is the best way. Always worried about not catching the trains. I think we expected more scenic views rather than cities, shrines and temples but we enjoyed them. We found the Japanese very organised, courteous and humble. Everywhere was very clean. We enjoyed some Japanese food but not all so had a mix. Enjoyed the Japanese beer. Good to hear the Japanese side of Hiroshima. Thanks for everything. Tony & Jene.

    My private and customized trip to Japan was absolutely AMAZING, UNFORGETTABLE, and truly a dream come true. Japan is a fascinating country rich in culture, history, and natural beauty—from the vibrant streets of Tokyo to the peaceful temples of Kyoto and the breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. Special thanks to my travel consultant, Shelly, for the flawless planning and seamless coordination with the local teams in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Every detail was perfectly arranged, and I felt fully supported throughout the journey. The local guides were all exceptional—knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and traditions of Japan. Even when my flight was delayed, they adjusted the itinerary smoothly and ensured I didn’t miss a thing. The accommodations were excellent, combining traditional Japanese charm with modern comfort. Every hotel had welcoming staff and outstanding service. This was my second trip with Odynovo, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. Their deep expertise and thoughtful service give me complete confidence in booking with them again. I can’t wait for my next adventure!

    Just finished the tour and recovered from jet-lag. The tour was amazingly well arranged and performed, truly reflecting the beauty of Japanese history and culture, we were looking for. City selections were impressively balanced with modern big cities and tranquil small towns. Hotel arrangements exactly fit our needs: non-sharing rooms for a family of 3. Touring contents were well thought out. These 13 days were filled with vibrant activities, and they were gone fast! Most importantly, all touring guides were so fantastic, that they were the reasons I feel the obligations to write this review. They were so professional, yet personal. They were so knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm. We were so grateful and appreciate their companionship. Special thanks to: - Ms Kumiko, thank you for tailoring the tour during that monsoon pouring day at Tokyo, and following beautiful sunny day at Mount Fuji - Ms Tomoko, thank you for your in-depth sharing of the history and culture at Kanazawa - Ms IIDA, we may come back to Miyajima someday, because of you … - Mr Masaaki, how can we forget you? You made the tours at Kyoto and Nara so special, that we have been laughing what happened and talking about you, all the time on the way back, from Tokyo to Vancouver and Charlotte. I will send you the video very soon! When we look back the tour now, in short, all we can say is: we are thankful for choosing this guided tour.
