Osaka Tours in Summer

The itinerary was very good. I partcularly liked the special experience of meeting the Hiroshima survivor after visiting the very moving museum. She was absolutely amazing. I just wish world leaders could also hear her presentation. In Kyoto I thoroughly enjoyed the Maiko's performance while we ate an excellent lunch. Another of my highlights was visiting the Kubota Icchiku Museum. The kimonos on dispaly were breathtaking and magnificent. The entire itinerary was very well planned.

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

Simply Japan was everything I hoped it would be, and more! The variety of experiences and destinations, the transport arrangements, the accommodation were all really good. Our guide Tom Fallon was really excellent - he really did play a key role in making a first class trip. He helped us navigate the cultural differences in Japan and his tours were very informative. I learned a lot about japanese culture and customs. His choice of restaurants was also excellent. Thank you, Tom, for a really memorable trip. I will definitely travel with Explore again.

Dean G was an extraordinary guide replete with fascinating items of interest. Exhibiting humor,empathy,knowledge and patience he shepherded the twelve of us ranging in age from 17 to 74 through myriad experiences. One can always nitpick ones itinerary but the overall trip was a smashing success and fir.idable entry to the country and its culture.

I have just returned from the 17-day Japan tour, and I have to say, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our group leader, Lachie, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, you could feel his passion and deep knowledge of Japan. He helped me fall in love with the country in ways I never imagined. Lachie was calm, attentive, and downright amazing. His guidance made this experience unforgettable, and I truly believe this trip wouldn;t have been the same without him. A huge thank you to Intro for providing such an incredible experience. Japan is now officially my number one favorite country

Tom was an excellent guide - one of the best I've had on any trip. Very knowledgeable and highly organised making the trip truly superb. The itinerary was great - giving the opportunity to sample a wide range of what Japan has to offer. Enjoyed the train travel and it was great not having long travel days within the schedule
