    Japan is amazing! George was a kind and helpful tour guide who went the extra mile by providing a few of his own touches. This tour is good for those who want a taste of everything without doing a deep dive. You kind of have to plan your own activities because it feels like you’re sort of just dropped off without being guided. The hostels / accommodation weren’t great but not bad for what we paid. Breakfasts provided were bland, literally just toast at one place. Overall not bad but you gotta make the most of it on your own

    My wife has been dreaming of coming to Japan for over 20 years, so we were very excited for this trip. We had an amazing time seeing/learning about the country & culture. George was an excellent tour guide, and took the extra mile whenever we had a request. In terms of improvements I would suggest adding more time at each destination. It sometimes felt like it was rushed. Overall I would say this was great value and felt very satisfied with the experience. I will recommend this tour to any friends looking! Cheers, Emile & Melissa

    My first time experience with a tour in Japan was excellent! The tour was run extremely efficient by our amaizing tour guide Daan. Daan was incredibly well researched on all the locations we visited and would even have additional knowledge on other questions asked that were not included within the tour. He would also go out of his way to give us great recommendations of places to see and go to whilst we had some free time on our hands. He done an excellent job of getting the whole tour involved with the sights and activity’s. Always having an upbeat and positive attitude keeping the moral of the tour steady and strong, with much engagement through out. Would definitely recommend anyone to participate in a tour with Daan whatever country he may be guiding in and would definitely do another one myself. Thanks so much Daan

    Well planned out. We were able to see all the snapshot essentials while also having enough free time to do our own things. Daan was very helpful guiding us to locations and providing us with enough recommendations to fill our free time.
