Tokyo Explorer Trips

This trip was a great introduction to Japan for first time traveler. It has a good balance of included activities and free time to explore each location. Our trip leader Katherine is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and detail oriented.

It was my first solo travel and let me tell you this tour was amazing!! Katherine our tour guide was so kind & made us all feel so comfortable and always had the best options for us to do on free time. Our time in Takayama was incredible! One of my favourite spots! All the hotels were in amazing locations and so close to public transport or shops. And can’t forgot I Made the most amazing friends!

Some of the accommodation was old and dated and not up to normal standards, for people taking on this trip you need to be fit and mobile as all of the trip is on public transport, bus, train and metro system

I had a fantastic time in Japan with Topdeck. We had a great group (18 total) and a fantastic Tour Leader named Marion who guided us expertly and gave great recommendations for things to do and food to eat. Japan is a culturally rich country with abundant shrines and delicious food and I would highly recommend anyone considering Japan to do it! Just be prepared to walk a lot everyday too

The Highlights of Japan tour was fantastic. In a short time, the itinerary gave us an opportunity to see the fascinating modern city of Tokyo, the gardens and samurai district of Kanazawa, the shrines and temples of Miyajima and Kyoto, the forests of the Japanese alps and the food district of Osaka. The organisation was superb and our guide, Zilola Kozimova, was amazing - knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. The hotels were very well-chosen, comfortable, convenient and in great locations.

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!
