    Overall, the individual tours were great. I realize you are a tour aggregator, but need to do a better job detailing out meeting places, using photos, etc, because all of your descriptions outside of one were extremely general on where and when to meet up with the tour guides. Also knowing what the tour company is you booked us with would be helpful, so we know who to look for.

    Are the hotels listed in the tour itinerary included in the overall price? Is the fare for the bullet train included in the overall price? I noticed food is not included, can we add this on (for example breakfast at the hotel)? How much is the deposit payment? How many months do we have to pay in instalments and the total for each monthly payment?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten February 2025

      In the 7 days package you have 5 tours - those activities are guided (Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Tsukiji, Kyoto Evening and Kyoto), the rest of the time there's not a guide with you (evenings or arrival/departure dates) as there is nothing scheduled - you have free time
