Reviews of our East Asia Young Adult Tours
Our Young travelers share exciting memories from their East Asia adventures.
Andrew | Traveled in July
This is one of my favourite ever Explore tours. Stunning scenery, amazing wildlife, lovely locals, Milky Way firmaments at night. It was the first Explore tour for our guide Serji but you wouldn’t have known unless she’d told us. She is very experienced as a guide and it showed. Serji’s love for Mongolia is evident, and she shared her knowledge and insights throughout the tour. The gers were very cosy, the food laid on good to excellent. That is written as an omnivore. If you’re vegan, this may not be the tour for you. Bring your own teabags if you need your dose of builders’ in the morning. In summary: do it!
JAYARAM M. | Traveled in July
I enjoyed the trip especially the Mt Fuji. The accomodations as well as the breakfast were all great. The tour guides were very patient and understanding and standard of service was amazing. Although every important sightseeing places were covered, I felt the tour could have been a bit more relaxed,especially when providing some time for the shopping.Overall a great tour and I recommend highly especially for a Solo traveler.

I travelled as a Exodus staff member - this was fantastic trip that showcased a diverse side of Japan beyond the major cities. The itinerary was well balanced, the food was incredible, and every destination offered something unique. Highlights included staying in a traditional guesthouse in Nikko, relaxing in a private onsen, and visiting places like Gion and Miyajima. Highly recommended.

ITINERARY WAS EXCELLENT, HOTELS WERE MOSTLY GOOD, TWO DID NOT HAVE RELIABLE WIFI, OR DIDN'T HAVE WIFI AT ALL, A PROBLEM WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM FAMILY. THERE WERE DAYS WHEN TRAFALGAR ONLY PROVIDED ONE MEAL, BREAKFAST, I HADN'T HAD THAT EXPERIENCE BEFORE WITH TRAFALGAR, WHO USUALLY PROVIDED TWO MEALS EVERYDAY.
