From the moment I joined my tour with Europamundo, I knew I was in trustworthy hands. Every hotel exceeded my expectations, offering not only excellent standards but also convenient locations that made each destination even more enjoyable. What touched me most was Europamundo’s unwavering professionalism and genuine commitment to their customers. I had originally planned to travel the previous year, but unexpected circumstances forced me to cancel my trip. Instead of adding to my stress, the Europamundo team responded with remarkable understanding, patience, and care. They thoughtfully reorganized an entirely new itinerary within the same budget, ensuring I didn’t miss out on the experience I had been looking forward to. Their reliability and dedication gave me complete confidence that they truly had my best interests at heart. Throughout the journey, every guide was warm, responsible, and exceptionally helpful. Their attentiveness and expertise made me feel supported at every step, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy the adventure without worry. I am deeply grateful for the effort, compassion, and exceptional service Europamundo invested in making this trip so memorable. They transformed what could have been a disappointing situation into an unforgettable experience. Without hesitation, Europamundo will be my first choice for future travels, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a travel company they can trust to deliver a seamless, enjoyable, and truly outstanding journey.Show more

We chose a short tour so that we could travel north to Sapporo without having to make day to day arrangements. The tour was a really good way to achieve this. We had a small tour bus with 34 people so it wasnt as crowded as it could have been. The guides were very knowledgeable and took the time to inform us about Japan culture, history and local information about shops, restaurants and specialities of each prefecture. We certainly would not have got this level of insight on our own. Our guide Ken was extremely well prepared with so much background and fun facts. Both guides carefully planned the daily activities, and we rarely had crowds, which was great. They included some really nice elements such as the zen meditation at a temple and a Shinto blessing, both.of which were wonderful. Things to be prepared for: most of the travel group will be spanish speaking, so you may feel isolated within the group and cultures / group expectations may be different. Sometimes there are less good stops such as the shopping visit outside of Saporro and the tea ceremony had no ceremony at all. Some of the hotel lunches provided were less good. Overall we were pleased to have done the tour and had lots of experiences along the way. The guide was really approachable and was happy to help with solving problems along the way such as members of the group needing medications.Show more
