i am interested in this tour but not until around March 2027. Can you advise if this would be occurring then and how much extra flights to and from Sydney would be?

We don't handle flights and I would suggest you discuss with your preferred local travel agent, they can book all our tours and assist with your flight booking. It would be easier for you.

Could you please let me know whether the 23rd May group tour is confirmed? Could you please confirm the total number of travellers that will be on this tour from start to finish and how many of them are English speakers? I am looking for a group tour where you travel with the same group of people (who are English speakers) throughout the trip. Will a tour guide be with us for the duration of the tour?

You won't be with the same people throughout the tour. In Japan portion, it is semi independent you will need to take the bullet train by yourself and the day tours will be with different people, group size also varies. The tour is guaranteed departure for two people.

Does the tour of Japan include Nikko & the snow monkeys?

This tour does not include Nikko & the snow monkeys.

A nine year old is fine..... Please complete the attached booking form and we can go off and see if there is space available

What is the maximum group size for this tour?

The tour can accommodate a maximum of 30 passengers for the group part in South Korea.

What kind of accommodation can we expect?

The tour includes 4-star hotel accommodations, but it operates on an independent basis for the Japan part.

What is the total cost for two adults on this tour?

The pricing for two adults varies based on seasonality and accommodation, and it can be confirmed via booking form.

Are we able to arrive into Seoul earlier than the tour date or depart later if there are other things we would like to squeeze in that were not included in the tour such as visiting Jeju Island or Hiroshima and such?

Yes all airfares are not included in the tour fee. Also for this combo tour we have specific departure date on Saturdays, we can add pre and post accommodations, but can not change our scheduled itinerary.
