Real traveler feedback from Explorer tours across East Asia
Jake Di | Traveled in May
Everything was amazing, some activities we shuffled around the accommodate rain and being able to go to a festival. There was a little bit of a miscommunication with flight Center telling us we could pay for the optional extras on the trip (and did not need to book them in advance). Tsu was an amazing tour guide and fit in really well with all nine of us Aussies.

So helpful having a local guide to show you around!
Laurence Mc | Traveled in January
A great way to dip your feet into each main city along the trip. Each having its own and different features. While the shrines do become slightly monotonous they all have a different feel and scenery. Of the whole trip the golden temple was probably the standout.
