    · 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.

    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten February 2025

      We are able to do your requested itinerary however, on such short notice it won't be possible to arrange the package for 130 pax. We would need enough preparation for such a tour.

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Would you be able to give me an estimate of the cost per person for 2026?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten February 2025

      Hotels in Japan release their rates maximum a year in advance, so we won't have them until March-April 2025 (for March 2026).

    Have booked a tour to Vietnam. Wanted to know if this tour could be added to the beginning of our trip. Also, can you help figure out flights or should we do that on our own?

    Bonnie

    Asked on January 16th, 2025

    When traveling to Kyoto, will the meeting point be at Tokyo City Hall? Will this meeting point take us to the predetermined Kyoto bullet train station for boarding? Upon arrival at Kyoto station, will you have an agent or a new meeting point to start the tour? As I already asked, we are traveling through Asia and will have luggage. Will we leave you at the hotel before the tour starts? After the start of the tour, assistance with travel to Kyoto-Osaka-Kyoto? On the final day of the tour, would you have time to board a flight to Seoul?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten January 2025

      The inclusions are the bullet train tickets, but you will meet our guide directly in your evening tour in Kyoto. The inclusion is just the ticket - you wont meet our guide for the part of the train. Upon arrival at Kyoto station, you will first check-in to your hotel. After that, you will meet our guide in the centralized starting location of your tour. You will have time to check in to your hotel before the tour, so you wont have your luggage with you for the evening tour. We will give you the ticket and all the needed instructions! Its very easy but we will be with you all the way.
