Customer Reviews

    · April 14th, 2025
    The tour, although short, covered a lot in Tokyo and Kyoto. The guides were excellent and very personable, even taking us to some local spots for sushi. The downside to the tour was meeting them. The Tokyo subway station is huge and it is very difficult to locate the meeting points. One guide called us and that is how we found him (we were not the only ones late). Overall the tour was a good mix of free time and guided tours.

    Would like to ask if there is a breakfast included for each hotel?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten September 2024

      We can add breakfast for an additional fee, it's not a problem. However, please note that we do not recommend it since some tours start before the breakfast starts in the hotels so you would be paying for a service you won't receive some days. I would suggest to ask in the hotel the day before, after you know that the starting time of the tour will allow you to enjoy breakfast in the hotel.
