This was the trip of a lifetime! The itinerary had the perfect mix of traditional and modern activities as well as gave sufficient free time to explore as a family. The CEO?s Kyoko & Tina were wonderful and felt like family by the end of the tour. The accommodations were superb and were in very convenient locations directly next to Local Train Stations. It was difficult to find a family vacation that met all our expectations, and this one has exceeded them! We can?t wait to book another National Geographic Vacation through G Adventures.

Our tour through Japan was a wonderful experience The sights, food, and people alike were all so memorable and brought us a great sense of the culture and history of Japan. Our tour guide Ken Igarashi gave us a great introduction to the sights of Tokyo and shared with us some of his vast knowledge and insight about historical events and landmarks, which was very appreciated. Our next tour guide, David Solanes, was a fantastic guide that went out of his way to explain the importance and impact of all the places we visited during our trip. His dedication to his work really shined through and made our tour one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. Definitely recommend having Ken or David as a tour guide
