- NSNeil· November 18th, 2023We had an amazing holiday. Japan was all we had hoped for. The group worked so well, we all got on and became good friends. Shingo, our guide was totally great. He was so pleasant and helpful. His English not brilliant but he did a great job. We felt maybe a little more information on places and sights might have been good. He was constantly helping us all and looking after us. He made great suggestions for meals and always checked up on us all, even when we split into smaller groups for the evening. He went way beyond what he could have done and made everyone feel safe and well looked after. He even helped booking all our onward travel and ensured we were all ok on the day. Wonderful man!! The hotels were nice, if a little small with almost no storage in most of them! Breakfasts were generally very good. We saw and did so much. In fact, we felt sometimes it was a little too much to fit into each day, and either missed some things out or were too rushed, missing stopping and looking at leisure at things and shops etc. Shingo was so patient, even when we caused him to run a little late! Due to distances covered we spent a lot of time travelling which was an interesting experience. Just meant time at destinations was a little short. As Most of us were older we all felt very tired at the end of each day and struggled especially when we had to carry back packs whilst waiting to be reunited with luggage. Dont know what the answer is, if extra days added, then expense goes up. If itinerary cut back, then Interesting sights missed out! Overall, a truly great trip. We enjoyed it all!Show more

Asked on August 2nd, 2025Can you please explain to me why some of the tour dates are more expensive than another one? That's just a couple days difference on the calendar
Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written August 2025Our trip prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry. This means our trip prices may vary at any time in accordance with demand, market conditions and availability.

Asked on June 16th, 2025Do you offer a single supplement option on this tour and if so, how much is it?
- Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written June 2025
A single supplement is offered on this itinerary and applies to all nights. The additional cost would be CAD $1,655.

Irene
Asked on April 2nd, 2025Can you arrange transportation from Koyoto to Osaka airport at end of tour?
- Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written April 2025
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer airport transfers in Japan. However, Japan has an excellent public transport system, with many convenient options to travel from your hotel to either Kansai Airport (KIX) or Itami Airport (ITM). Both airports are quite a distance from Kyoto, so we highly recommend using the efficient public transport options rather than a taxi.
