Kyoto Tours in Winter

Zilola our leader was always helpful and quickly gave us alternative and extra options when the weather meant that the itinerary had to be changed. Personally we could not praise her enough for her boundless enthusiasm and skill with the language.There was an issue when one member of the group failed to board a train ,overhearing the phone conversation I think she could have handled it better initially. Keeping the group together at busy stations the old fashioned hand held flag may have helped or in this day and age a digital communication device. We enjoyed the Snow Festival very much and all the wonderful food experiences. Japan is a fantastic country to travel around by train, we were so lucky to get a perfectly clear view of Mt Fuji from the Shinkasen. There was enough time on the trip to do some solo exploring and we really enjoyed Higashi Honganji temple and Shosei-en garden in Kyoto. They were both amazingly tourist free and we would recommend them to others on the trip as a great walking route from the hotel we stayed in. As first time visitors to Japan we loved every moment and cant wait to go back.

Just got done with the 13 day Japan trip and it was amazing! This was the first time ever solo traveling and staying in hostels, and even though I was nervous I grew to love it. Our tour guide Dan was the absolute best. Very informative, friendly, fun, and on top of absolutely everything. If you want to go on a trip and have everything planned and figured out for you Intro Travels and tour guide Dan is where its at. Top highlights: Mt. Fuji Snow monkeys Collecting stamps everywhere Samurai DAN THE MAN All the amazing people in my group ¦ Honestly the list could go on and on Be prepared to shed some tears when you have to leave.

I had the trip of a lifetime in Japan, I loved every minute. The tour covers so much of beautiful japan and the included activities were great (and seeing Mount Fuji was AMAZING!!). Dan was my leader and he was just amazing - he had so much cultural knowledge and was so organised with everything, and was always looking out for us and helping with any questions or worries we had. My group was amazing, and with Dans help we definitely felt like a little family in the end. As a solo traveller who was nervous to book this, Im so glad I did and I would highly recommend this tour and Intro travel to anyone who is considering it- you wont regret it!!! :)

The 13 day Japan tour was so much fun, would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a great itinerary with a good mix of cities and more rural areas and really fun activities. I got to do so much that I never would’ve thought of if I didn’t do the tour. Dan was a great group leader, so helpful all the way through and really enthusiastic about Japan. He worked really hard to make sure we all had a great time. This was my second intro trip and not be the last😊

The Japan tour was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever taken. The food was delicious and everything we visited was very interesting and beautiful. But it wouldn;t have been nearly as nice without our tour guide Dan. He had extra information at every location and no matter what, he was super helpful. He also helped me a lot with planning before and especially after the tour.

I have just got back from the 13 day trip to Japan and had the best time. The tour was a great experience from start to finish. This was in no small part to our group leaders Dan and Michelle who were amazing and I am so glad I got to experience Japan with such great people. The tour was a good mix of planned activities and free time in really cool and interesting places, and the local guides we met to do activities with were authentic and really felt like experts. I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking of visiting this wonderful country and INTRO made everything so easy for a very lazy man like me.
