Our guide, Karique, was excellent, informative, friendly & always helpful.
The Shogan Trail was a well thought out itinerary. It was full of interesting
contrasts i.e. large modern & busy cities e.g. Tokyo, historic cities e.g. Kyoto, Nara, & Nagasaki, and rural & coastal Kyushu including a beautiful boat trip amongst many small islands. The food was interesting, but not always suitable for vegetarians & vegans. You must be prepared for sunny warm weather & wet cooler weather. Heavy rain lasting for hours & causing the suspension of the Bullet Train services resulting in congestion of trains & people. The weather means you may not see Mt. Fuji. The leaves were only just beginning their autumn colours.
The dates of my trip were 27th. October to 7th. November. I thoroughly
recommend this trip as a great introduction to Japan.

From the neon lights of Tokyo to the peaceful temples of Kyoto, Japan was incredible. Riding the bullet train was a highlight, and the cherry blossoms in Osaka were breathtaking!

Collette helped us experience things we would never do Iif we had been on our own.
Our guide, Kelly, had a huge job because it was a big group, a long trip, a huge city and he was our only guide.
We have been on trips where there were different guides for different areas.
I especially enjoyed the hands-on events… the lacquer boxes, sushi/origami lessons, t stenciling.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the time we had with the geisha.
Our hotels were over the top.
The food and presentation of it was amazing.
I have already told everybody I know about it.
Great job!!!
Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka come alive on this 5-day sightseeing tour crafted for seniors who value comfort and culture. With all logistics—hotels, meals, and transport—taken care of, guests can focus on exploring Japan’s most famous cities with ease. The tour’s USP is its efficient itinerary, enabling travelers to experience the highlights of Japan’s urban gems in a concise, engaging format ideal for a short yet meaningful getaway.
I loved this tour, not just for the beautiful sights but for how much I learned. Japan is so different from North America in terms of culture, manners, even how people move through a city. I found it fascinating.
The tour guide didn’t just take us from place to place. He taught us about Shinto traditions, post-war history, Japanese etiquette (like how to bow or take off your shoes in homes), and more. I felt like I came home not just with photos, but with a better understanding of the world.
We saw cherry blossoms, temples, even deer in Nara Park. Hiroshima moved me deeply. The whole trip was emotional and eye-opening, but in the best way.
I’m 66, and this tour was easy on the body and stimulating for the mind. What more could you ask for?

Estuvimos visitando más o menos 4 lugares muy importantes durante un mismo día. Un viaje de 8 días por Japón, lleno de cultura, lugares históricos, hermosos paisajes. La hospitalidad y seguridad brindada por Europamundo ha sido algo que permite relajarse y disfrutar de las vacaciones. Haber realizado algo tan eficiente por mi misma,lo hayo imposible de hacer.

Have been on many guided tours in the world. This tour tops them all.
A couple from Canada made our group feel uncomfortable by being demanding and rude sometimes. Min did a great PR job.
Sculpture Park was amazing, especially the Picasso Museum. Seeing cherry blossom for the first time with Mountains of snow in background was a plus. Trying and tasting the local food was a gastronomical experience.
With a small group I and the others received personalized attention. I have a problem with heights and stairs. I was lucky to have Min's arm to guide me so I did not feel apprehensive or falter.
Where would you like to visit next?: Not sure, but I don't like cruising. Only land travel. Congrats to your travel firm for such a wonderful experience to Japan. Special thanks to Min.

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.
Both David’s were amazing and lovely guides who sincerely cared about a quality experience for our tour party.
Accommodations and meals were great.
Only part that was less than perfect was the airport transfer commutations but it all worked out

The tour combined the bustle of Tokyo, the culture of Kyoto and the charm of the Northern Akita and coastal region. The food and accommodations were excellent and being able to travel on Bullet Trains, local trains and subways added to the local experience.
Yoko was an excellent CEO, she was knowledgeable, helpful and kept the group organized.
Overall it was an excellent tour of Japan!

It was nice to be in group with mixed origins. The itinerary was chalked out nicely. Pick ups and drop offs were punctual. Almost all guides were good, some excellent and a few so so. And Japan as such is a courteous country ??
The availability of Gluten free food should not be left to guides as it’s too late . If Europamundo takes initiatives snd inform all their vendors/hotels, the availability of GF meals and breaks
Fast will be more appropriate. Europamundo should not take Gluten allergy lightly as it’s too late serves customers from Europe, UK, Australia etc
Guides:
Special mention about your guides is important. Asoaka was very cordial, helping and courteous guide.
Ken was extraordinary. It is important for agency to know about Ken, he is full of praise ??other tourist can take benefit of Kens expertise and please pass it on to him as he himself should know feel that we tourist do appreciate GOLD.
Yes Ken is a GOLD guide, an asset to Europamundo, took care of whole of our group, explained things so well and in a very interesting way. We had a particular problem of Gluten allergy, but Ken’s proactive approach to provide Vandana Gluten free meals till we were with him was amazing. Asoaka also helped with the GF meals., and walked extra miles to help us.
The way both Asoaka and more so Ken helped their co-guides on a bilingual tour was amazing. We never felt that they ignored the English speaking tourists and we could see and appreciate that they covered in Spanish the deficiencies of their co-guides in a very polite and nice way.
I know it would be asking too much snd almost impossible, but we do feel that we get such guides always.
Thank you so much
Atul and Vandana
