Kyoto 11-Day Tours and Trips

An excellent way to experience Japan within a limited timeframe, offering not only visits to iconic places but also a great variety of carefully selected and enjoyable activities. It was our first time traveling to Japan, and the trip certainly inspired us to return.

I would say our experience was fantastic. Japan is so different from anywhere our family had previously traveled that we really appreciated our CEO's expert guidance, while at the same time allowing us flexibility to follow our own script and explore or adjust as needs may be. Everything from booking the trip to Yoko ensuring we made it safely onto the proper bus to the airport went as smoothly and enjoyably as I could ever have expected.

Overall experience was amazing because Izumi was incredible and I enjoyed the group as well as the people of Japan. Hagi was my favorite; what real Japanese experience and what a wonderful family! Would?ve like one more day in Hagi so I could see the shrine in the picture!!

Excellent! This was our second (definitely not our last) tour with National Geographic. We find it an amazing way to experience another country, because they allow you to enjoy the culture and environment without the stress of you handling everything. You get the chance to see and experience the highlights of the country as while getting the best local advice for you to manage your free time experiences.

The tour was an excellent mix of places to visit, planned activities, and free time. Using taxis, buses, subway, and trains was a great way to experience the culture. The CEO was knowledgeable and personable making it a comfortable experience from beginning to end. He kept us on schedule without rushing the experiences ensuring everyone’s enjoyment.

The difficulty was, that most people in the group were not in such a good physical shape as demanded in the tour description online. Because of that, a lot of activities were cancelled and cut short. For those of us, who were really waiting for the activities (like the hikes & bike tour), this was an annoyance, I'm sorry to say. Otherwise the tour was amazing, the accommodations and food were absolutelt amazing, so were the destinations!!
