- Selma· June 8th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishIt was a fantastic trip. We saw a lot in such a short time. The trip was very well organized. The CEOs Estella in China and Ryu in Japan were great. So attentive, nice, helpful and fun to be around. Both my groups in China and Japan were great. We had so much fun, we laughed so much...it could have gone on like this ???? Thank youShow more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your experience and wonderful photos, Selma! It sounds like an epic trip and we are so glad to know that you enjoyed your time in China and Japan with us. Our world deserves more you!Trip date: May 2025 - Dom· July 15th, 2019I had 2 tour combined. One tour of China with a total of 10 people and my tour guide Wenci was perfect! The second was of Japan with a total of 15 people and my tour guide Izumi was amazing. This was my first tour with G Adventures, and i was please with my choice and plan to use your Tour company again. I am a frequent traveler and have used a few different tour companies (Toucan Travel, Cosmos, Globus, etc.) and will continue to use them as well. Thank you for providing outstanding attention and service. It was a wonderful experience.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewSo happy to see this - thank you Dominick. China and Japan are fantastic.Trip date: June 2019
- CRCliona· March 31st, 2019The tour had two parts, the China part was excellent, Tori was brilliant, very informative and efficient, loved every part of it! Japan was equally organized and efficient, Chiko was great leading us from place to place. The only down side to it was the fact I wasn’t eligible for a JR pass, which I was unaware of so I had to pay and extra 34,600 yen which was a huge unexpected cost. I would have appreciated the agency to at least pay the same amount as the JR pass would have cost. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend the tour to others.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks for the feedback Cliona.Trip date: March 2019

The Japan Express – Osaka to Tokyo tour is very popular, priced at 3699.00 USD per person. We have a departure on 2nd July if that can work for you.
