Eliezer· March 24th, 2025Roger was a great guide! Everything went smoothly and while the group was together a lot, there was also plenty of freedom to explore sites, activities, and restaurants solo if we wanted.Show more

- Alexandra· May 23rd, 2023Japan was so fun! A looooooot of free time so do you researches about what to do and visit in every city. Would have love more ''organised'' activities (like a dinner every night with the group,...). Compared to other G Adventures tour I did in the past, I felt that this group was less stick together since there was only a few group activities.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Alexandra, Thanks for the constructive feedback; I really appreciate it.Trip date: March 2023

I will definitely recommend it.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Thomas, Love this! Thanks for the great feedback.Trip date: March 2023
- Marshall· February 12th, 2023Overall, I had a great time on this trip. Make sure you're prepared with a few ideas of what you want to eat and what to visit at each stop. The tour was good, but we occasionally spent too much or too little time in some areas. (I recommend spending a long time at Fushimi Inari and maybe like an hour at most for Kinkakuji.) Communication was a little lacking from our guide at times, but he did a good job of getting us from one location to the other. Would recommend to others.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Marshall, Thank you for taking the time to send through your feedback; we really appreciate it!
Trip date: January 2023 - SStevendeGroot· September 2nd, 2022Booked Japan tour for my pregnant partner and I as a baby moon. Was told at time of booking that deposits were refundable if tour did not go ahead due to COVID restrictions. Was informed a few weeks ago that rules in Japan hadn’t changed but GAdventures has decided to heavily modify the tour so it could go ahead. We did not want to go ahead with this heavily modified tour so we requested refund of our deposits as previously discussed. Today we were told we wouldn’t be getting our deposits back despite the tour we originally signed up for not going ahead. I have now had to lodge a complaint with Australian Consumer Protection. Feel like we got scammed, avoid avoid avoid.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Steven, Thank you for your feedback; I really appreciate it.

- APAlexandra· April 15th, 2019The itinerary needed to be more detailed, there was a lot up in the air as to what was happening each day. There wasn’t the greatest communication between the guide and the group, as to where we were meeting and such. The places we stayed were a great mix of different style of hostel and were close to most areas in the city with a few exceptions.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewAppreciate the review, thanks Alexandra.Trip date: February 2019

Asked on January 13th, 2025Are the accommodation is Child friendly? While we are on tour are we on our own or we have a group and guide who will take us around? Are all the locations price is included? How do we Pay from India?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
Unfortunately, the trip you are looking at is strictly for 18 - 39 year olds, so your daughter will be too young to join this trip. For our classic trips and family trips, however, the accommodation is child friendly. You will always be with your group and CEO (Tour guide), if you have scheduled free-time you are more than welcome to wonder off on your own or with others from the group, but you will never have to be on your own if you don't want to be. The guide will be there the whole time along with your group. All locations in the trip is included, your accommodation and transport inbetween the locations for all of our trips. Do note that the international flights are not included.
