    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten May 2026

      We do not include international flights or visa services, and these would need to be arranged independently. We also do not operate all-inclusive meal packages, however we can certainly include breakfast as part of your accommodation if preferred, and the remainder of meals can be enjoyed flexibly during your trip. We absolutely can include accommodation, private transfers, curated experiences, and English-speaking guided tours throughout your journey.

  • M

    Michael

    Asked on May 15th, 2026

    Is there any way you could arrange one night's post-accommodation in Osaka, along with a transfer at the end of the trip? We're interested in visiting Mario World in Japan and spending 1 day at Jeju Island in September.

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten May 2026

      In order to visit Jeju Island from Seoul, you need to catch a flight that takes around 1 hour, and for that, you will need to add at least 2 days to be worth the travel.

      The package includes a daytrip to Osaka and back to Kyoto, however, they can stay in Osaka for the night and if they want to visit Mario World they need to add 1 extra day and for the next day we could arrange a private transfer to the airport.

  • G

    Gary

    Asked on March 16th, 2026

    I am looking for a small group tour of Japan and South Korea on or around 24th May. 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 small 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? What are the group sizes like?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Tourist JourneyOperatorWritten March 2026

      Our packages are designed as a combination of day tours, accommodation, and transfers. This means you won't be traveling with the same group or guide throughout the entire trip. While you may occasionally see some familiar faces, most tours will include different guides and participants. During your free time, you'll have the flexibility to explore independently.

      Group sizes: Our walking tours and food experiences are typically small groups (up to 10 participants). For bus tours (such as Mount Fuji from Tokyo), group sizes usually range from 25 to 40 people, depending on the season and availability.

      Language: All of our day tours are conducted in English by default. If you prefer another language, this can be arranged as private tours.

      Duration: The length of each tour varies depending on the activity.

      International flights are not included in the price of your tour package. Your trip will begin in Seoul and conclude in Kyoto, so you would need to arrange your flights to and from these destinations separately.
