⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This 10-day tour of Japan exceeded all expectations! The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and provided the perfect balance of history, culture, sightseeing, and free time. Hiroshima was one of the most memorable stops of the trip, offering a powerful and meaningful experience that I will never forget. Our tour guide was absolutely outstanding—knowledgeable, organized, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone had a great experience. They shared fascinating insights about each destination and made the group feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the journey. From the bustling cities to the beautiful temples, gardens, and local cuisine, every day brought something new and exciting. Transportation, accommodations, and logistics were all handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without any stress. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Japan in a comprehensive and enjoyable way. It was an unforgettable trip, and I would gladly book another tour in the future!Show more

We felt communication was poor, it was unclear where and when we were meeting on the first day. It would be more appropriate if the guide communicated some days prior saying where to meet, confirming the hotel and address. We didnt know if we were being met at check-in or the next day. Notifications were not consistent with the expectations we were given about timing, our guide Kevin had to communicate with Edward as we had no notification from him up until the evening prior to arriving in Kyoto. Other aspects of the trip were better handled, and Sia ShouShou was awesome, sending two detailed itineraries of our time with her 6 days prior to meeting with her. We felt we could have seen more aspects of Japanese culture besides many shrines and temples, and advice on other displays or experiences we could have done in the evening, and advice about where to have dinner locally. The hotels were a good standard and the Osaka Sheraton very handy for trains and transferring to the airport.Show more
