Japan Tours in June 2027

It was good an opportunity to see many highlights of Japan, with a nice mixture of city and country. The transportation was efficient with a combination of buses and trains. The experience of Japanese cuisine was interesting. Some people, including some of my family would have enjoyed being able to choose from a menu rather than being served and wasting the food. I think some people preferred to have more free time to shop at certain places. Overall, I think the itinerary was excellent and our tour guide did a fantastic job

the itinerary was efficiently designed to allow us to see the most of Japan as possible. However, it was quite taxing to the seniors like us and I would recommend that Trafalgar consider setting up a two-tier approach, one for seniors over 70 and then the rest. that said, we truly enjoyed our trip and special accolades to our tour director . She was dedicated, efficient and very caring on how her clients were at all times.

It is a busy itinerary that keeps you on your toes. There are two long bus days. The hotels were of a high standard, some better than others. Included meals were good, with the exception of the "special" lunch in Kyoto which was almost universally poorly received by the group. The meal consisted of small portions of gourmet fish dishes, but it lacked popular appeal. The meet and transfer at Haneda was handled wonderfully.

A great itinerary as there were lots of interactive activities such as paper making, sushi making and tea ceremony. There was also a lot of site seeing and we covered a good part of the country. The food was excellent, the included dinners were good and not too rushed. Most accommodation was good but some hotel rooms were quite small. Out tour director, was exceptional with great knowledge and humour.

Very informative and fast paced. I believe following the tour we had a much better understanding of the Japanese including some of their customs and their way of life. Having an excellent tour guide like we had made the entire tour worthwhile.

Our guide was Raya, who was excellent. She was friendly, enthusiastic and well organised. She led the group on trips when we had our own time to see various parts of the places we visited. Raya was especially good in giving us insights into Japanese culture and customs.
