    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.

    Sarah

    Asked on April 20th, 2025

    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?

      Yes, the hotels listed in the itinerary are included in the overall price. Yes, the bullet train fare is included in the price of the tour. Yes, breakfast can be added for an additional cost. The deposit payment is 30% of the total tour price. After the initial 30% deposit, the remaining balance is due 1 month before travel.

    • 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

    Barbara

    Asked on December 26th, 2024

    I'm interested in the Japan 7days Budget tour (might be on April 2025), however i would like to have more information on the following: 1- what is fully guided and not in the itinerary of that tour 2- admission tickets to paid temples (if any) are they included in the tour price 3- the cost of airport pickup and drop off 4- does the hotel reservation include daily breakfast

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten December 2024

      The tours are fully guided. After you meet your guide at the designated location, all transportation is included, and the guide will be with you throughout the day until the end of the tour. Most entrance fees to temples and sites are included in the tour price. The only exception is for certain places in Kyoto, where the entrance fee (approximately 900 JPY per person) is not included. We offer both shared and private airport transfers. Breakfast is optional and not always included. However, we can certainly arrange it at the hotel if you prefer.
