The private transfers costs €300.00 per group. The shared transfer costs €30.00 per person.

      Traveler•Written August 2024

      Is this a fully guided tour or will we have time to do our own exploring without a guide? What is the group size of this tour?

    • Tourist JourneyOperator•Written August 2024

      Its a fully guided tour but you have free days in the itinerary and also free time in the nights. You can expect small groups in our walking tours and our food experiences - up to 10 people. For our tours that depart with a bus to other cities (example: Mount Fuji from Tokyo) we have the capacity of a bus -40 people- but in general we have 25.
