Guest reviews from travelers on Local culture tours in and around Tokyo

Meg | Traveled in September

5.0 - Excellent

Wonderful trip - perfect amount of time for every place. Goes to places I would never have been solo - takayama was a highlight and the special stays were a super cool experience. Lots of free time in this trip - which is nice to pick where you want to go. Time add ons were great, however not too many included experiences and dinners compared to other trips, which was a small downside. The TM we had was stella - lots of recommendations and perfect amount of information.

5.0 - Excellent

I had an outstanding time in Japan! I definitely recommend doing all the extra excursions that isn’t part of the shown itinerary even if they seem out of your comfort zone as well as have something planned for when you have free time. SN: Take advantage of the 7-11 snacks there. They are bomb!!! And don’t sleep on the sandwiches!
