- YCYOLANDE· September 6th, 2024Itinerary was good but woul be better with an extra day or 2 to really appreciate the places especially Koyosan and Hakone. Our guide was super! Helpful and pleasant he was a source of knowledge and looked after us.Hotels were generally okay to good. The activities were interesting but perhaps have some extra pay extra such as a cooking class. Maybe explain beforehand about the luggage packing for the night and next day. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is physically fit as there is much walking.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your feedback, Yolande!

Julie· July 12th, 2024We had a great trip to Japan. The itinerary was full of exciting sites and cultural learning. Stops in Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Koyasan, Kyoto, Hakone, and Tokyo were all fascinating for their history, food, and sites. Our G-Adventure guide was top notch and really made the trip. Strongly recommend this trip.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Julie, We are so happy to read that you had such a great adventure. We appreciate the five star review and we hope to see you on another trip sometime soon.Trip date: June 2024- MKMeena· June 18th, 2024I am writing as I was very upset to realise that the whole tour was by public transport which I wouldn’t have chosen for myself - a 58 year old with a heart problem. A number of things make the cost of the tour that I paid for ridiculously expensive and I feel you have taken advantage of me. They are the following: 1) I booked with TourRadar and you put me on G adventures without letting me Know how physically challenging it would be especially handing my bag and knapsack on public transport. 2) 7!cities in 9 days is actually untrue as there was no tour of Osaka. 3) check in times were inconsistent and never to our benefit. On Hakone we could Only check-in at 5:30pm and we departed the next morning at 8:30. I have paid a lot for this trip and been treated like a budget traveller. 3) how do you expect a local travel guide to help me with my bags though Keiko did a great job helping but I was fortunate that one of the group members helped me with my main luggage. What would have happened to me if he didn’t? For these reasons stated above, I feel cheated and comparing prices with the others from the US and UK who were on the same trip, I paid the most. What are you going to do about this?Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review, Mena. I understand you have been assisted by our Customer Experience team already, but please feel free to continue to communicate with them as they can best address your concerns.Trip date: June 2024

Good variety of rural, cultural and urban activities.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Suzanne for the great review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your trip and that Jiro did suchg a great job.Trip date: April 2024
- JMJoe· May 14th, 2024The sites were amazing on this tour. However, our tour guide spoke very poor English and did not have the knowledge to explain to us the backround/history of most of the sites we saw in each city. My friend and I were extremely let down especially since we were looking forward to this trip and expecting a solid tour guide. It got so bad that one of the people on our tour had to google the history on each site and explained it to us all. We even spoke to the tour guide of a different tour company on our tour to get better info. There are better tour companies out there. Do your research before booking.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Joe We appreciate the honest review. We'll pass your comments over to our operations team for review.Trip date: April 2024
- MAMartha· May 10th, 2024The Osaka to Tokyo tour was fantastic thanks to our very organised and capable guide and CEO Mayumi, and a very jolly and fun group from different parts of the world. Mayumi went over and above to support us with the tour, making it such a good and stress free experience.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Martha for the five stars. We are happy that Mayumi did such a great job. Hopefully we'll see you back on the road with us again soon.Trip date: April 2024
