Osaka Museum and gallery visits Trips

Whenever I travel to a foreign country, one of my top priorities is to immerse myself in the broadest and most varied cultural experiences possible. I want to leave with a genuine sense of who the people are and what their daily lives are like. The expansive Costsaver itinerary offers exactly the kind of diverse and immersive cultural encounters I look forward to—and truly enjoy.

Very inclusive and the tour director was very knowledgeable and attentive to all concerns. Also the bus driver was very good. This was our 6th trip with Trafalgar and they have always been on target and left nothing to worry about. Excellent tour company!!

The Splendors of Japan tour offers a beautiful and widely scoped experience starting from the busy, metropolis that is Tokyo, right down to the wonderful introspective serenity that can be found in smaller spaces like Japan's Kotohira area. This is contrasted further by somber and sobering moments in places like Hiroshima, while time spent in Mt. Fuji helps us reflect on the brightest things in life. Japan and this tour is truly a unique introductory experience to the country that ensures we'll return there one day to enjoy even more that this unique place offers its visitors.

Mike the tour guide was Excelent! Always prepared, had lots of maps so we won’t get lost, good knowledge of Japan’s history and what to see on our itinerary. Many of our fellow visitors had issues and was very accommodating. Only one hotel was substandard. On Sept 11 we stayed at the Aqua Hiroshima Center. The bathroom had mold, the carpet needed cleaning.

Need more time for souvenir shopping. Our tour guide was against giving us time to shop for souvenirs. Some meals that were included., did not include a drink. For the outrageous price we paid, a drink should have been included.

I ithink the itinerary is very good. Mostly it is excellent but sometimes you dont have enough time to explore the place. In tokyo you dont explore really much but thats okay. You can arrive like us 4 days Prior to the tour and visit on your own. Problem was in kanazawa when we were in the geisha district with the golden leaf ice cream. We went to the golden leaf experience and then to the shop. When you finish its already time to go to the bus so you cant look properly around the district and get some ice cream with golden leaf. In the afternoon there was some freetime so we went there but it is like 25 minutes by walk and thats too much. We did it but we have good physical condition. I can imagine that if someone is tired or cant walk Longer distances it can be problem. Like you dont need to go to the golden leaf experience but thats part of the whole experience. I think it would be great if there was around 30 minutes more time so after the experience and the shop you have enough time to walk around and get some ice cream. Overall great tour with great guide. I can fully recommend
