Andes Tours and Trips for Young Adults

The standard of accommodation was great throughout the trip. The standout hotel was in Hiroshima. It was spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable. It’s a shame we didn’t have our larger luggage with us, as we couldn’t fully make use of the space. The final hotel in Tokyo, however, was quite far out, and the room was uncomfortably hot. Although the hotel provided a fan, it only helped slightly and made the stay less comfortable than expected. The robot experience at Dawn Café was fascinating and memorable, but it was scheduled too close to breakfast. I was still very full and couldn’t fully appreciate what was otherwise an amazing and thoughtfully prepared meal. Christmas Day felt like a missed opportunity. Experiencing KFC for Christmas dinner, as it’s traditionally celebrated in Japan, would have been a fun and culturally immersive option. It also would have been nice for this day to focus more on spending time together as a group, as many travellers are Western and value shared experiences on occasions like Christmas. The optional karaoke add-on was quite expensive on this day, which made it feel less accessible. My absolute favourite experience was dressing up in a kimono in Kyoto. A truly unforgettable and beautifully immersive cultural experience. Our TM, was incredible: approachable, hilarious, and a real highlight of the trip. Her knowledge of each city was exceptional, and she brought every destination to life with stories, cultural context, and local insight. She struck a perfect balance between being informative and fun, ensured everyone felt included and supported, and handled logistics seamlessly. Her passion for Japan was infectious and truly elevated the overall experience. Overall, this was a well-organised and enriching trip with many memorable moments!

The trip was incredible, it was just enough time in each city to get a taste of what you liked in a city. The guide was awesome, went above & beyond. The trains were awesome and using public transport gave you a taste of the local life.

Overall a fantastic trip! I travelled over Christmas, and would recommend for anyone looking for a Christmas tour. All the activities were amazing - we saw plenty of whales on the whale watching tour, the huskies were adorable, and the reindeer experience was very informative. Just note that these are all quite expensive, so if you plan on doing them it increases the price a fair bit. The cruise was also a perfect way to see the northern lights, and we had a fantastic showing on our first night on the ship. The itinerary is exactly what you get, which does mean there’s a fair amount of downtime, and with the lack of light in winter it limits your ability to do much more.

I liked the group of people, I think they made it 100% worth it. I love the opportunities of activities to do. The only thing I would change is that on the itinerry before you book the trip and get htere they put weight limits on the activites so you are not dissapointed when you find out when you get there there are activiteis you cannnot do.

The whole trip was amazing, the people and staff had great energy and enthusiasm throughout the whole trip. I was blown away with how much historical knowledge the trip manager had and how easy it was to learn.

My trip to NZ was amazing! I was so excited that I was able to see an insnae variety of landscapes, including but not limited to ginormous lakes, mountains, beaches, volcanoes, snow and rolling hills. I met the most amazing people and felt safe and supported the entire time. The trip manager on my trip Meg was amazing and Ollie provided the safest driving I have ever experienced.
