    An amazing well thought out itinerary. Amazing tour guides and got some free days in there to explore separately also. Absolutely recommend, just wish we got more time in Osaka at the end.

    Communication with TourRadar before the trip was excellent. We liked the structure of the tour where we received the train tickets and travelled by ourselves. We met local guides and learned a lot about the wonderful places the Kyushu tour brought us and about Japan. Every step of the tour was well organized. The hotels we stayed with breakfast were all excellent.

    Overall the tour was pretty well organised. No hiccups except for typhoon Podul that hit Taitung on the day we were supposed to be spending a night there. Disappointed for not being able to tour the East Coast as our itinerary had to be changed for our safety and we head back to Taipei along the west coast. The tour guides and drivers were fantastic, friendly and helpful. 5 star service but content of the tour was a bit underwhelming. Taking into consideration the sites we visited, food and people in Taiwan who were very welcoming and friendly, the trip was enjoyable for me.
