  • E

    Elena

    Asked on July 6th, 2025

    I'd like to know if it is a strict cut off with the 59 age, as my husband is 60.

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten July 2025

      The age limit of 59 is a guideline rather than a strict restriction. Your husband, being 60, is more than welcome to join the tour. We encourage guests to assess their comfort with the tour's pace and activities.

  • L

    Leah

    Asked on March 3rd, 2025

    When the age range says 18 - 59 does that mean we can't join it if we are 62 and 63 yrs old?

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2025

      You can still join the tour since you are not significantly outside the age range. The 18-59 guideline is a general indication of the typical traveler demographic, but it does not mean you are excluded from participating.

  • M

    Maxime

    Asked on January 11th, 2025

    How, when, and where to book airlines?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten January 2025

      Flights to and from the destination are to be booked separately; Travel Talk does not offer flight bookings.

  • J

    Joseph

    Asked on December 22nd, 2024

    Do you guarantee two beds in each location? Can we add a night (or 2) at the starting hotel in Tokyo? When and how often on the trip does luggage get sent forward? How many people are signed up for Japan Explorer on May 11 as of now? Is there a stay in a ryokan? Is there an opportunity to use on Onsen?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten December 2024

      You may leave a note on your booking to request two separate beds. We will do our best to accommodate this preference. You may add nights to the starting hotel by contacting the hotel directly. Luggage is carried with you by the transfer service between destinations and will stay with you throughout the tour. Only one passenger is currently booked on the Japan Explorer tour departing on May 11. There is no ryokan stay included in this itinerary. Opportunities to use an onsen would depend on the hotel, which are not yet finalized.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten November 2024

      We specialize in offering pre-designed tours with carefully planned itineraries. We do not provide customized tours.

    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten November 2024

      We would like to clarify that all ages are welcome to join our amazing trips! While we don't have strict age restrictions, we do provide guidelines to ensure everyone's comfort. Passengers that falls out of this age group (18-59) and traveling alone may find it beneficial to consider booking a private room. For this reason we request to add a singe supplement. This enhances comfort throughout the tour, providing a personal space to relax and unwind after exciting adventures.
