Customer Reviews

  • Suzanne
    · 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.

    Graham

    Asked on April 30th, 2025

    I'm planning a trip from Montreal to both Tokyo and Seoul. I'm interested in your 'Highlights of Japan' package, but I'd like to do a shorter version, about 5 to 6 days in Japan, and spend the remaining days in Seoul. Could you help customize the itinerary accordingly?

    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten May 2025

    Do you know how many people are booked on this tour

    Group size
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten October 2024

      The number of people booked on the tour can vary daily. You can expect small groups for our walking tours and food experiences, typically with up to 10 participants. For tours that use a bus to other cities, like the Mount Fuji tour from Tokyo, we have a capacity of 40 people, although we generally see around 25 participants. Keep in mind that these numbers can change based on the season and specific day.

    Asked on August 26th, 2024

    What mode of transfer (car, train etc) would be arranged on day 11 (departure) from Kyoto to Kansai airport? And what would be the cost of that?

    Flights / Transfers
    Transport
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten August 2024

      At the time of check out you are able to choose if you would like to include a private transfer from your hotel in Kyoto to KIX or a shared airport transfer, which is a bus that will pick you up from Kyoto Station and drop you off at the airport. The private transfers costs €300.00 per group. The shared transfer costs €30.00 per person.

      Stephen

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      Is this a fully guided tour or will we have time to do our own exploring without a guide? What is the group size of this tour?

    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten August 2024

      Its a fully guided tour but you have free days in the itinerary and also free time in the nights. You can expect small groups in our walking tours and our food experiences - up to 10 people. For our tours that depart with a bus to other cities (example: Mount Fuji from Tokyo) we have the capacity of a bus -40 people- but in general we have 25.
