Osaka Tours in July 2027

Very good tour, unique experiences, excellent food and hotels. Tour guide went out of his way to make our time in Japan special, he was informative and super organised.

It was a relaxed intinerary that showed both modern and older Japan. We visited 5 cities taking in modern Tokyo to older Kyoto and historic Himeji. My favourite place was Osaka. A modern city, but a little more relaxed than Tokyo. Hiroshima was very solemn.

I this trip provides a good introduction to Japan. We covered a lot of ground and visited many places using trains to move efficiently. Our guide Irene was exceptional in so many way and made the trip so memorable.

Looking back… it had been a month since our return…. the trip had been the best trip we had thus far…. Japan as a country is beyond what words can describe…. People are extremely polite, generous and honest! (It confuses all Americans for sure…. And hard to get used to it…) Places we visited were accommodating, comfortable and exciting! The kids and us had a ton of fun and excitement…. Lots of history, shrines and Tori Gates… Hotels were nice…. The tour guide, AKO! Was fantastic… Energetic, entertaining and caring… she made all the difference…. We had other tour guides in the past… this one is hard to forget… for sure. My kids still remember some of her common phrases…. She used on the trip… and repeat them with smiles on their faces… (O’.. So Well…!) The schedule was great! It’s hard to make a schedule that fits everyone’s taste… as sometimes we wished for slower days… and faster days on others… Walking was decent… specially the weather was on our side! Kids had no trouble… and for us, we didn’t ache… All in All… Extremely Happy!

The trip was on the whole very good. The highlight was our Trip Manager, who was very knowledgeable about things to do and places to see in Japan. The itinerary was compressed, but sensible for a weeklong trip in Japan. The one issue was lack of clarity in the initial trip documents about the time of the kick-off meeting on the first day. By the time I was informed, it was too late to change my flight, and I missed the kickoff meeting.

The trip was absolutely incredible—I loved every moment! Our Trip Manager was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. I met so many amazing people from all over the world, and exploring Japan together made it even more special. From the day trip to Nara to visiting the stunning shrines and temples in Tokyo and Kyoto, every activity was thoughtfully planned and so much fun. The evening events were a blast too—especially karaoke and our unforgettable final night out at the club. I also really appreciated the group meeting points at the end of each day—it was a great way to unwind and connect with everyone.
