Kyoto Tours in September 2026

The tour was fabulous and our tour leader, Zilola, was fantastic. The pace is full on and definitely delivers the highlights of Japan. Zilola added optional activities to get the most out of our short stays at each destination. In addition, she was always available to address any questions or concerns the group may have had. As we were visiting sites, she provided extensive background information which enhanced the experience. As others commented, be prepared for lots of walking! This is my third trip with Explore my favorite to date. I added on days in Kyoto and Tokyo and recommend this there is limited time at in both places. Highly recommend!

This was our first visit to Japan. The small group tour, led by an excellent guide as all that we hoped for. Cultural experiences, history, exploring cities, and some countryside, and architecture. This is a wonderful tour, especially for people visiting this amazing country for the first time

I had wanted to go on this trip for years, and my dream finally came true! It was a fantastic trip that combined all the highlights of both modern and ancient sights within two weeks. I really appreciated the balance between group activities and free time to explore at our own pace. Our tour leader Kan was excellent, and everyone on the tour was lovely. I feel incredibly grateful to have explored Japan with such a wonderful group of people. We shared plenty of laughs along the way and I made some friends on this trip :-)

The 13 day Japan tour was awesome! Everything you could wish for when visiting Japan is in here in these few days. The tour guide Yoni Doani was the funniest and best guy you could imagine. I;ve felt really safe with him guiding the group. He had answers to every question and was always there when I needed something. He knows every cool location, whether for dinner or sightseeing, you name it. Consider yourself lucky if he your guide!

I would highly recommend the Japan Adventure 13day tour for any first timers in Japan. The itinerary is jam packed and great value for money, you get to see many aspects of Japan and Japanese culture. What really made the trip for me was our group leader Yoni, he has incredible insight and knowledge of the places you visit and the people you meet along the way, he was very reassuring and accommodating if anyone in the group had any issues or queries, he has wonderful vibes and such great karma.

I took the 13 Day Japan Experience trip in September 2024. It was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Yoni, our guide, was superb and entertaining guide, and the place was just as beautiful as I had imagined. I can;t recommend it enough to anyone that can handle the walking demands.
