- Osaka Hiroshima Snapshot 6 Day - One Life Adventures
Packed an astonishing amount of variety into a six day period - that I wished could've gone on longer! The tour was excellent value for money, with accommodation and activities taken care of on our behalf, as well as plenty of recommendations for our free time. So many activities involved things I'd never have thought to do on my own. Shout-out also to our guide Kassy, who likewise did so much to support the group as a whole, and keep us all on track!
- South Japan Express
A really good introduction to this part of Japan. All arrangements worked out for me and Jose looked after us very well.
