Japan Budget Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 51 customer reviews
Load of new cultures and experiences!
4 - Very Good
  • JULIETTE NGUYEN LAC
“The trip was great overall... we came, saw, and learned about new cultures and experience new food and local favorites with tons of activities. A very fast pace with lots of walking up, and down stairs carrying luggage using public transportation, and mountain climbing to see temples and monkeys. Bring your most comfortable shoes and pack lightly as possible--at times, I felt a bit rushed through to complete the day's activities and catch the trains.”
Got to see a good range of Japan.
5 - Excellent
  • Scott Hillerby
“Japan was a place I was intimidated to travel to on my own. I'm so happy I found this trip! I would not have been able to plan something on my own that flowed so easy from one place to the other! From the secluded mountain region to bustling streets in Tokyo, I feel like I got to see a good range of Japan. The food was also delicious.”
The best Japanese adventure we could have hoped for
5 - Excellent
  • Kelly Cruickshank
“We booked this trip to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed! The trip was well organised, the activities were great fun, and everywhere we stayed was comfortable and welcoming. Sammi was an excellent guide!”
