We just came back from the 10 Days Japan Essential Family Tour with Kids, and honestly—it was one of the smoothest trips we’ve ever taken! Having a private guide and driver made all the difference. No rushing, no stress—just pure family fun. Our guide was amazing with the kids—super friendly, patient, and always had little stories or fun facts to keep them engaged. The driver was always on time, helped us with bags, and made getting around so easy. The itinerary was spot on—lots of must-see sights, but also enough downtime for the kids to enjoy themselves. The hotels were family-friendly, comfortable, and located in lively areas, so grabbing dinner or an evening stroll was a breeze. Japan itself is incredible—the temples, the food, the mix of tradition and modern life—but what really made it special was how well everything was organized. We could just relax and enjoy every moment together as a family. If you’re traveling with kids and want a stress-free way to see Japan, I can’t recommend this enough!

Even though this trip was just 5 days, thanks to Phoebe from UME Travel for planning everything and our guide Mori for leading us, it honestly felt like my family and I saw it all—without ever feeling rushed! And to top it off, we got to enjoy some amazing sashimi and wagyu beef in the evenings.

This trip was absolutely amazing—but what really made it unforgettable was David! I’ve traveled with quite a few tour companies before, but this Japan journey was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. The itinerary covered it all—from buzzing cities to peaceful countryside—and everything was so well organized. With David leading the way, every single day was filled with fun and good vibes.
