- GRGeetha· January 3rd, 2026Thank you for the great tour that was available for me to book, and I enjoyed it with my son. This is my first time giving 3 stars. I booked this tour based on reviews from past travelers, which I found to be inaccurate after my own travel experience. I wanted to provide details that should help others and tour operators to consider. Out of all the travels I've done, this one put me under a lot of stress, required a significant amount of money, and demanded a considerable amount of effort. First of all, I appreciate all the tour guides; they are all fantastic and highly knowledgeable, shared all the details very clearly. Thank you, and impressed by your great job! I appreciate the communication from Tour Radar/Tourist Japan, who responded immediately and made the necessary steps and changes as I requested. Thank you, and I truly appreciate the attention and quick reply. Overall, this tour disappointed me and was definitely not worth the money I paid. Because I needed to take extra effort, money, and time. I do holiday travels for relaxation, not stressing. - The tour does not provide a transfer to the hotel and to the meeting point, which are ~40 min - 1hr. Literally, I need to use Uber/taxi, whatever. Otherwise, I am advised to use the subway, which I need to spend a week learning and understanding which stops and which way to take, all about the metro system. I needed to wait outside in the cold and dark, crowded (where the tour ended), after the tour ended for a cab to arrive. The Japanese people are very kind and considerate. Glad to meet such a humble people/drivers (who are caring and explaining to us every single step to get a train ticket). -Night tour - was a little chaotic --- tour guide was so so good, can you imagine 4 hrs walking in the cold --- I didn't feel my feet after the tour. My son got sick. If it's summer, it'd be fine. I returned to the hotel around 10.30 pm. - The tour does not provide meals, at least a continental breakfast -- which is good or bad in a way. Tiring to figure out when I was late the day before due to the tour and find something in the morning...Thankfully, I packed some food. I definitely do not need to spend this much money on the tour, as I felt I was doing everything by myself. I hope the plan and schedule require some review to ensure the travelers are well cared for, especially those traveling all the way to enjoy and spend time in another country, rather than adding to their stress. I am sorry. I really wanted to take this opportunity to share my comments. Thank you!Show moreTrip date: January 1970

Asked on November 12th, 2025Would you like your recommendation on when to start the tour. If possible, we'd like to start on December 8th but will arrive late. The itinerary states that the 8th is a check-in day and the activities start on the 9th. Would you please confirm? Can you tell me the best way to get from airport to the hotel?
Tourist JourneyOperator•Written November 2025There are no tours scheduled on arrival and departure day, so on day 1 you can arrive at any time; we have the option to add private or shared airport transfers if needed for both your arrival and departure.

Ahmed
Asked on July 7th, 2025Could you please confirm whether transfers between the airport and hotel are included? And during the guided tours, what type of transportation is provided—metro, tourist bus, or something else? On Day 2, it says the tour starts at 9 a.m. at the Tokyo station; does that mean I need to get there on my own from the hotel? Likewise, the tour ends at 5 p.m. at Shibuya Crossing—should I arrange my own return to the hotel, or is there a bus that picks up participants and returns them to the hotel? In general, are transfers provided throughout the day during the tours?

Asked on April 20th, 2025Are the hotels listed in the tour itinerary included in the overall price? Is the fare for the bullet train included in the overall price? I noticed food is not included, can we add this on (for example breakfast at the hotel)? How much is the deposit payment? How many months do we have to pay in instalments and the total for each monthly payment?
- Tourist JourneyOperator•Written April 2025
Yes, the hotels listed in the itinerary are included in the overall price. Yes, the bullet train fare is included in the price of the tour. Yes, breakfast can be added for an additional cost.
