    My tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, fun and willing to help us when we needed it. My tour group was a good bunch of people from different t parts of the world. I particularly made good friends with a few of them. The tour itself was well planned and very satisfactory the only thing was that perhaps 1 more day in takayama 1 more day in Hiroshima and 1 more day in Osaka would have been perfect

    Do not take this tour. I'm on it right now and it has been an absolute waste of money. All of the original activities were cancelled and not replaced by anything, so on those days we did nothing. Every morning we find out there's another problem. Honestly so stressful and disappointing. I wish I could get a refund and leave.

    The tour itself was good, and Marion was an excellent tour guide who I highly recommend to others who go to Japan. She made sure everyone had a good time and was a steady hand that sailed the ship. It was a shame to see so many optional items cancelled, and it felt like lots of items needed to be sorted at the last moment. Additionally, I would have liked more communications ahead of the tour to keep everyone updated on the day, help with travel, and connect with other tour members.

    Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes with good support because you walk minimum 10,000 steps a day up and down stairs sometimes with your luggage. Make sure to check the weather forecast and pack appropriate clothing for the weather. Trust me.

    would have liked more time in Osaka and Hiroshima but otherwise it was great. Our guide was amazing. The hotel in Kyoto was the best. Would have liked more that style. Having to travel on peak hour trains and subways with large suitcases was not fun (even though I packed according to the suitcase size guide of the tourradar recommendation) the hop on hop off bus tour was the best mode of transportation all NGV with reserved seating on Shinkansen

    How often are tours canceled?

    Tour Details

      Tours will be cancelled if we do not meet the minimum number of confirmed passengers (which changes depending on the tour). This departure date is a guaranteed departure so it will definitely go ahead.

    Katrina

    Asked on February 13th, 2023

    What does multiple room types mean

    Accommodation
    • TopdeckOperatorWritten February 2023

      It would mean a dorm room so 4-8 beds per room, though if you book a twin you would just share with one other person which is the standard for this trip.

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      Can we join the tour on 17th morning? Our flight will land in Tokyo at 8am on 17th April.

    • TopdeckOperatorWritten January 2023

      You may join on the 17th as we will be in Tokyo for a full day of activities. The pricing will be the same and we will just need to advise the trip leader of the time you are arriving so you can organise where to meet them.

    Eva

    Asked on November 24th, 2022

    The Deep Delve Japan tour for July 23 - August 3 from Topdeck says 25% off at the top of the page but then there is no discount at the bottom of the page? Is this a mistake or is there actually no discount available on this trip?

    Price / Availability
    • TopdeckOperatorWritten November 2022

      Only certain dates are discounted for the 25% sale. The Delve Deep: Japan departing on the 23rd of July 2023 is not on sale currently. The closest departure that is on sale is the 25th of June.

    Asked on May 15th, 2018

    When and where does the tour start?

    Tour Details
    • TopdeckOperatorWritten May 2018

      This tour generally starts at 8 am in Toyko at Agora Place Asakusa, however, the joining point will be confirmed at the time of booking. As the tour has such an early start, we do recommend arriving one or two days prior to the tour - that way you also get a chance to explore Toyko!
