- SHSteven· November 3rd, 2025We had an excellent time on our tour, Tour Radar did a very good job overall. Our tour guide was very informative, friendly, patient (we had a couple of high-maintenance people in our group) and a joy to be with. Our driver was very punctual and the transportation was very clean. The hotels were very nice, better than we expected in most cases. We saw everything that we wanted to see and would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Japan! Knocked off one start just because our tour director was given a different itinerary than what we got, so it caused some confusion with our last hotel and scrambling to make an extra reservation for an extra night, but it all worked out. We would book with Tour Radar in the future!Show moreTrip date: October 2025

- DNDaniel· October 30th, 2025This 8-night Japan tour was an amazing experience from start to finish! The itinerary covered all the highlights — Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Mt. Fuji, and Tokyo — with just the right pace to enjoy each destination. The 3-star hotels were clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Breakfast each morning was delicious and offered plenty of variety. Our tour guide Yoyo was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Everything was well organized, and the group had a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of Japan in one unforgettable trip!Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- GGeorge· October 29th, 2025Do NOT use "Stunning Tours" to visit Japan This tour had many great things and a few bad things. Starting with the good. The itinerary was excellent. We saw so many amazing sites and experiences. Japan is a wonderful place. It felt rushed but that was a tradeoff for jamming so much into so few days. I wish I had more vacation days so I could have stayed longer. The hotels were nice. They were large compared to standard Japanese hotel rooms. The breakfast buffet each morning was high quality with a wide variety of food. The bus was very comfortable. The driver was good. We had plenty of room for us and our luggage. It was nice to relax on the bus between all of the sites we went to. The price of the tour was reasonable considering all the places we went, the hotels, the breakfast etc. The BAD. It was challenging to take a train with all of our luggage to and from the airport. There were 2 optional tours and some extra entrance fees at two sites that we had to pay for after arriving in Japan. In the tour instructions it explained that Hiroshima was extra and we would have to pay when we arrived. It is worth the money but we should have been able to prepay before leaving on our trip. The guide told us we could also do an optional Osaka Castle tour for $40. This was not in the tour instructions. It was worth the $40 but again it should have been included. The guide paid for the entrance to most sites but at two of them he said if you want to actually go in and see the site then go buy a ticket. It was just a few bucks but again it should have been included according to the tour instructions. The tour guide was horrible. He was nice and funny but that is the end of the good things. He kept leaving people behind. He would just do a quick glance and if he thought everyone was there he would just take off. He did not use his flag pole and he was hard to see. He walked very fast and it was hard to keep up. I think every single person in the group was left behind at least once. We had to band together and tell him that he was leaving someone again. The last few days he finally started counting heads He would tell us a meeting spot and time. Then he would change his mind and not tell everyone. We learned quickly not to trust his instructions. As a group we would all verify with each other where and when he actually wanted to meet. He did very little guiding. We would arrive at a new site and he would say that he wanted us to have personal time and to be flexible so go explore on your own and meet back in 30 minutes. I paid for a tour guide so that they could explain the history and significance of each place as we walked around as a tour group. He felt more like a chaperone than a tour guide. The HORRIBLE The very first night he asked us to pay for the Hiroshima Tour. I gave him my credit card. It did not work even though it had been working for a few days in Japan. He showed me his phone where it said in Japanese that it didn't work. I contacted my card and they said everything was fine. He ended up charging my card 4 times. I was paying for 6 people so it was $2000 each charge or $8000 total. It almost maxed out my card at the beginning of my trip. My credit card company immediately cancelled 2 of the payments as duplicates but two remained as pending. He said that he never got paid. I showed him my credit card app where it still showed two payments as pending. I ended up contacting my credit card company 4 times. They told me every time that it was something wrong with the Tour Company. The guide pestered me the whole week and asked me to pay in cash even though my credit card was already charged. At the end of the week, I paid cash and cancelled all of the credit card charges. It cost me a bunch extra in bank fees to use an ATM to withdraw so much cash. I highly recommend you visit Japan but don't use "Stunning Tours"Show moreStunning Tours commented on this reviewDear George, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review.

Asked on December 3rd, 2025I am a agent travel, just to be sure, I am sending some travelers, but they want to know if there is any other extra free time, or just one day, as you mention.
Stunning ToursOperator•Written December 2025Yes the last day of the itinerary is free. Day 3 is also a free day with the Hiroshima day tour is offered as an optional tour. Everyday the tour finishes around dinner time so our guests have some free time in the evening.

Asked on December 3rd, 2025Do we arrange luggage to be transferred, or can you bring our luggage from the hotels to the bus for us? We want to travel in March, but dates aren't confirmed just yet.
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written December 2025
The luggage will be transferred by tour bus between cities and attractions. But unfortunately our tour guide or driver won't be able to help load/unload them between the bus and the hotel room. March 14th is a prime departure date and is already guaranteed.

Asked on December 2nd, 2025Can I get tickets a couple of days earlier and book a hotel in Osaka?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written December 2025
Can you let me know what tickets you were referring to? If you plan to arrive early, it's very common for our guests to do so. The first night hotel is Star Gate Hotel Osaka. I will confirm the rest of the hotels around 1 month before the departure date.

Asked on November 28th, 2025Is it possible to book a room for 3 people, given that we will be travelling with our 10y/o child?
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written November 2025
The hotel rooms are very small in Japan. Most hotels don't have triple sharing options. That's why we book two rooms for 3 guests instead.

Asked on November 22nd, 2025Could you please provide information on the pricing of the Hiroshima optional tour in AUD? Can you also send a quote for 2 nights in Tokyo at the beginning of the trip? Centrally located.
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written November 2025
The Hiroshima optional tour is 54000 JPY per guest. Which is around 533.86 AUD based on the exchange rate of 101.15. Honestly our rates arent good for individual hotel bookings. I would suggest booking directly with the hotel or on similar sites. This tour starts from Osaka actually, and finish in Tokyo.

Traveler•Written November 2025Plan to fly into Osaka and spend 2 days extra towards the end of the tour i.e from the 4th to the 6th of April. How far is the hotel from Osaka and what is the best way to get to the hotel in Osaka.
- Stunning ToursOperator•Written November 2025
The tour starts from Osaka and finish in Tokyo. The first night hotel will be an airport hotel that is only one station away from the Kansai Airport by train. For the second and third night hotels in Osaka the group will move to another hotel near the city of Osaka. Our past hotels include Dotonbori Crystal Exe, Osaka Castle Hotel.
