Customer Reviews
- Joel· June 2nd, 2025Great tour with an awesome tour guide. However, the tour was too focused on travelling to shrines and temples for the majority of the trip. I would love to see Perhaps Mount Fuji and/or Nara to visit the bowing deer added instead of some of the shrines and maybe a day dedicated to seeing something nature related like the bamboo Forrest. Zac was an amazing tour guide and made our Japan experience even better.Show more
- William· May 27th, 2025I really enjoyed this tour. There was a lot of interesting places to see and the choices of cities was fantastic. Our tour guide Zac did an excellent job conveying the wonderful qualities Japan has to offer and from personal experience, was able to provide a glimpse into the everyday life of someone living there. The only thing I would change is with how many shrines and temples we went to see, there wasn't an equal balance of planned activities like the morning of Miyajima getting to make the bean and chocolate flavored pastries. I would still recommend this tour to anyone coming to Japan but would like to see some other curricular activities added to the experience.Show more
- Rebecca· May 27th, 2025Our guide Zac (Bell) was a highlight. He was excellent- friendly, knowledgeable, took our requests and blew us out of the water with his personal recommendations. I found the itinerary did feel repetitive by the end, and would have appreciated more organized group activities & dinners.Show more
