    Asked on November 23rd, 2024

    Would u consider your tours easy, moderate, or strenuous

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten November 2024

      This trip activity level will be dynamic which means, there would be frequent early morning starts to maximize sightseeing and regular evening activities. The cumulative daily standing is 1-5 hours, and the cumulative daily walking is up to 3-6 miles/5-10 km per day. The terrains are of longer distances that may involve a mix of inclined, flat, and uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones, hills, and stairs. The sightseeing style is active with walking and standing involved. Guests should be able to get on and off the coach without assistance frequently and carry own luggage in some instances (trains and/or ferries).

    Shane

    Asked on February 11th, 2024

    I am interested in a tour to Japan, but we are a family of 4, 2 adults, and two kids (5 and 4 years old). I don't know if it is possible to book accommodation in only one room or has to be into twin rooms. Travel date - could be April or October.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten February 2024

      You can only book 2 Twin rooms since you have 2 kids. You can book a twin room with one of each kid in the room. Please see the October 2024 dates: 04-14 Oct 2024 - $6,975.00 per person based on a Twin Room, 18-28 Oct 2024 - $6,975.00 per person based on a Twin Room.

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten February 2024

      April is a VERY popular time to travel to Japan and it may already be to late to book a tour for then. October would be a much better time to travel as it will be very less crowded. There would not be a family room to fit all 4 travelers in Japan. You would be looking at 2 rooms. Would this be okay with you?

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten April 2022

      For International Flights we can always add them on after booking and we can book them with Trafalgar in order to provide you with a complete package for peace of mind with transfers to and from the airports.
