Kyoto Tours in January 2027

I recently returned from an incredible 13-day tour of Japan, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable trips Ive ever experienced. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the tranquil temples of Kyoto, every day was packed with adventure, culture, and amazing sights. The tour was extremely well-organized, and a huge part of its success was due to our outstanding group leaders, Dan and Michelle. They were nothing short of phenomenal”always professional, approachable, and full of energy. Their knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and local secrets added so much depth to the experience. Whether it was navigating the Shinkansen (bullet train) or recommending the best ramen spots, they made every part of the journey seamless and enjoyable.

Just returned from the 13 day intro trip to Japan. It was fantastic trip covering so much and with a great group of people. Lachie our group leader was brilliant - with so much knowledge of Japan, great recommendations and just always happy to help wherever he could to make sure everyone was having the best time. Everything ran super smoothly thanks to him and definitely made the trip even better. Would really recommend the trip and hopefully you get Lachie as your tour leader!

Recently just finished the Japan 13 day Intro Trip and had an amazing time and experience, visiting some of the sites Japan has to offer. Even before we arrived Lachie got in contact with us to make sure we arrived safe and made it to the starting point/hostel. Lachie also made a group chat so that we can all interact and communicate with others on the tour as well and post helpful guides, locations and things to do when in each new place of the tour. Lachie was very knowledgeable about the temples and Japan history and incredibly helpful and always suggested multiple options and got the groups consensus in regards to places to go during free time. Overall Lachie made the tour fun and relaxing by not having to worry about accommodation and transport as well as interacting and getting to know how we all were going and if we were going ok and also made sure we knew how to get back to the airport after the tour or wherever our plans were after. I am looking forward to my next trip with intro in the future and hopefully get Lachie again as my group leader

Japan adventure Jan 4th- 16th My tour guide was Lachie for this trip and he was super helpful with recommending places to eat, exploring, activities and sites to see! He was keen to get to know the group and was really friendly and approachable. Every day was amazing! ˜ I had the best 13 days with my group and Lachie definitely made us all feel welcome and relaxed! The evening dinners that were arranged were always yummy!! The karaoke night was my personal favorite ˜‚ everybody let loose and joined in 100% Had the best experiences and met some awesome people £¼¯

An incredible journey! Every city had its own charm, from the vibrant streets of Tokyo to the peaceful beauty of Kyoto. The mix of history, culture, and nature was unforgettable, and the food was out of this world. A truly memorable experience, with a brilliant guide to match!

We were quite happy with the tour. We were not told by our travel agent that the tour was in Spanish and English but we enjoyed listening to the information in Spanish. I think our last day in Kyoto was disappointing because of the timing. I suggest we could have left the hotel one hour later in the morning and not returned to our hotel before going to the Geisha area. Had we been there earlier in the afternoon, we may have seen a Geisha and before hand the rest of the area in day light. I would have liked the bus to take us back as well on that evening instead of paying for a taxi. There was also confusion when we needed to return to Tokyo on the bullet train . Our travel agent and the Europamundo itinerary both stated that we would catch the bullet train at 10.00am and return to Tokyo at 2.09pm. The night before the tour guide kindly arranged for us to catch a later train because we had been told to catch the 8.06am with Erica which meant we would have to wait four hours in Tokyo for our connecting train to Nagano. David Solanes was a pleasure to have as our tour guide. He was informative and entertaining with his material. He made effort to learn to know his clients in the short time we were together.
