Very informative and fast paced. I believe following the tour we had a much better understanding of the Japanese including some of their customs and their way of life. Having an excellent tour guide like we had made the entire tour worthwhile.

The whole team, from CEO to assistant guide to the porters, everyone went above and beyond for us to have the best time! I can only recommend the team and I happily travel with G Adventures again.
I think it was a lot of fun exploring different cities with a bunch of other travelers who were open to new ideas/experiences. Amie did a great job guiding us through this fast paced tour of Japan.

After 7 wonderful trips with excellent guide I had with gadventures I am very disappointed by this particular experience, it would have ruined my Japan experience if it hadn’t been for the extern guides and a wonderful group of travelers.

I had an amazing time traveling with G Adventures and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-organized and unique group tour. What made this trip so special was the perfect balance between visiting well-known highlights and discovering hidden gems. G Adventures not only takes you to the iconic (and stunning!) tourist spots, but also brings you to small local communities you might otherwise miss if you were traveling independently.
These visits offer a deeper understanding of the country and its people, while directly supporting the local economy — whether through cooking workshops, crafting or purchasing handmade jewelry, or other fun activities. They also work with local guides, which really adds an extra layer of insight and authenticity to the experience.
Another big plus was how easy everything was: transportation, accommodations, and the overall itinerary were all taken care of. All you really had to do was choose your own lunches and dinners, pick any extra activities, and enjoy the ride.
Our guide was fantastic — super enthusiastic, caring, and full of positive energy. And I was lucky to be part of a great group of fellow travelers too!
All in all, I look back on this trip with a big smile, and I’d book with G Adventures again in a heartbeat.

The trip was wonderful and well organized but the only issue was that it was a very large group comprising of around 5 buses going to same places. The places we visited was very interesting. Very often it resulted in crowding and long waiting times specially in the morning for breakfast.
In Seoul, I was the only English speaking person and was assigned an individual guide Mr Simon to translate in English. Mr Simon has been very helpful and attentive. He immediately made the necessary arrangements with regards to foods when i informed him that i has some food restrictions. he ensured that my foods met my requirements.He even took me to the pharmacy to help me buying some cough medicine as I caught the flu during the trip.
The English speaking guides in Japan were also very nice and helpful and providing all relevant information. They also made the necessary arrangements regarding my food restrictions, telling me which food I could eat and which food I could not. And Pablo was like meeting an old friend as we met during my last trip in 2024.
Amazing experience. The country is beautiful, the program balances activities and free time, and shows you many less touristy aspects. Being in the crater of an active volcano and surfing on Red Island was incredible. And we had the best guide in the world. Thank you very much Gede!
