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.
Uncover Japan’s highlights over eight days, starting in buzzing Tokyo and ending in culture-rich Kyoto. Wander through ancient temples in Asakusa, marvel at the bronze Buddha in Kamakura, and soak up modern Tokyo’s energy in Harajuku and Shibuya.

Ride the bullet train to Kyoto, where golden temples, serene gardens and geisha traditions await. With guided sightseeing and free time to explore, this tour blends history, scenery and culture into one unforgettable Japanese adventure.
Loved it all. The usual mix of guided tours and free time, with excellent hotels and a good crowd on the bus. Of course in any country there is so much to see and one tour cannot see it all but this was certainly a great effort at experiencing as much as possible within my time and budget constraints.
I liked the itinerary very much. Our tour guide Jose was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. I was not informed beforehand that this was a English and Spanish mixed language tour, Joses English was good but sometimes hard to understand. I also did not know that we would be having people added to our tour almost every day and some leaving almost every day. I enjoy tours more when you have a change to get to know who you are traveling with and with a mix of English and Spanish it felt like I was on my own and traveling with strangers.
The program was fun very well organized in terms of timings,places been visited and hotels slected and even food.
Our tour guide Mr. David Solanes was excellent, he gave lots of interesting informatin about each site, very supportive, broke the ice between the group members and made the program as fun as the trip itself.

Both David and Pablo were incredible guides. They both had extensive knowledge of the places we went to and they also allowed us to explore by ourselves and gave us time to take photos. Very impressive that they can speak english, spanish and japanese. Both our guides had a great sense of humour and knew how to keep the tour group entertained.
