This was my first solo trip to Japan, and I honestly had the best time. I chose the 8-Day Splendid Japan tour because I wanted to see the main highlights without worrying about trains and transportation on my own, and it made the whole experience stress-free. Our tour guide was fantastic. They shared great insights about each place we visited, and their energy really made the trip more enjoyable. They helped everyone feel comfortable and made it much easier to navigate Japan’s busy transportation system. The accommodations were also comfortable and met my expectations. Overall, I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Japan with great company, memorable experiences, and a tour guide who truly cares.Show more

I just took part in this tour and it was a very rewarding journey. The trip itinerary was well planned and we were able to see all of the major sights without running out of time. Facilities and services for transportation were satisfactory and on time, providing a smooth and stress free trip. The tour guide was one of the highlights of the trip. They were informative, approachable and always ready to answer questions about the places we were going, the local culture and history. They were each a more interesting and enjoyable stop because of their enthusiasm. I would also like to thank them for balancing the activities with the time off. It offered travellers a chance to discover on their own, while enjoying a well-structured itinerary. The accommodations and meal suggestions were very good and really enhanced the experience. This tour was a bit better than I thought it would be. It was well planned, professionally managed and a memorable experience all the way. I would definitely highly recommend it to any travelers who are seeking an easy and fun travel experience.Show more
