      It is mandatory for all of our travellers to have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance that will cover the dates of the tour. This emergency evacuation benefit, and includes repatriation to your home country. The medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation benefits must, when combined together, cover for at least 200,000.00 USD per traveller.

    Christina

    Asked on December 28th, 2025

    Just wondering how strict the age limit of 39 is-- I'm turning 43 on January 3rd, but the others in the group are in their 30s and 20s. Thanks!

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2025

      The age restrictions on these tours are strict as these tours are catered for travelers between the ages of 18-39. In this scenario it might be best to look into our classic tours.

    Eric

    Asked on September 15th, 2025

    Would it be possible to stay with the 3 other people I am planning the trip with? I see the hostels are 4-6 people and was just wondering if we could be together at the hostels?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      Yes if you are booking with other travellers you will be allocated a room together, if you book separately we can still request that you room together but we would need written confirmation from all travellers that they are happy to do so. The accommodation breakdown is as follows; Hostels (4 nts, multi-share & shared facilities), traditional inn (1 nt, multi share room and shared facilities).

    • E

      Eric

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      When selecting nationality for the other people and they have 2 passports should I select the nationality that the passport is associated with or does it not matter? Example: lives in South Africa, has South African passport and British passport. Wants to use British passport for travel ease. Should I fill in British as nationality or South African?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      The passport selected needs to be the passport the traveller is travelling with for the tour. It is very important as we book all services for the tour with this information, so the passport on file needs to match the passport you are travelling with.

    Asked on May 18th, 2025

    I am 40 years old and will only be in Japan during these dates. I hope you can give an exception since it is just 1 year older than the requirement.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      Unfortunately there are no exception for the age requirements on this tour, you must be no older than 39 years of age on Day 1 of the tour. We require passports to confirm your eligibility so you would need to look at alternative tours.

  • M

    Molly

    Asked on April 23rd, 2025

    I am 45 year old health adult with no issues. And wanted to see if there could be an exception for age.

      This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

    Asked on November 9th, 2024

    I liked your 'Japan: Tokyo Nights & Kyoto Temples - 6 days' tour plan. I would like to do that with my family (4 adults) 11 January 17 January 2025. Is it possible to change the accommodation for us? Hostels are not good for us, can you arrange just basic standard hotel rooms with private bathrooms please?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten November 2024

      Unfortunately, we cannot change the hostels as this is what makes up the itinerary and the package price for the tour. We can, however, suggest you look at our other styled tours to Japan where our accommodation is hotels.
