I had the pleasure of having Meg as our tour guide during our trip to Japan, and she truly made the experience unforgettable. Megs knowledge of Japans history, culture, and hidden gems was remarkable. She brought each location to life with engaging stories and insights that you wouldnt find in any guidebook. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she went out of her way to ensure everyone in the group was comfortable and had a great time. Whether it was helping us navigate the busy streets of Tokyo or guiding us through the temples of Kyoto, Meg was always attentive and patient. If youre looking for a tour guide in Japan who is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, I highly recommend Meg.

13 day trip through Japan. Buckle up and get ready for a non-stop adventure! Lachlan Fleming took a group of 9 strangers on one of the most memorable tours through Japan. Non stop laughs, stunning views and exposure to some of Japan rich history and culture. Lachlan is a wealth of information and exceptional at group leading. He condoned himself in one of the most skilled professional formats I have experienced. Taking the time to get to know each of us one on one. His ability to read the group and everyones personalities was spot on. Connecting everyone through group activities and unreal food. Nailed it! We would all group up in free time, sharing meals and exploring outside of the guided time. Which in turn brought the group even closer. I cannot express my gratitude enough on this his ability to unify the group! It was amazing. Hes also pretty good at karaoke. This trip covered it all, jam packed but it kept a good balance of free time to explore, or rest and recharge for the next day. Each night Lachlan would give us the game plan, timing and locations for the following day. Communication was amazing. If a member wanted to go off on their own for a bit he would drop map pins for meat up points. This was another impressive skill Lachlan had. He was very organized and constantly kept watching over the group to prevent anyone from getting lost or frustrated in where to go. If you are a foodie and like trying new dishes then his recommendation was also on point. For me, every dinner, actually every meal was a home run. Throughout the trip Lachlan would sit with us to discuss our plans after the tour, most of us had more Adventures planned before heading home. He took this time to help us plan, navigate and give us a list of sites to see in the areas we were heading to. Making sure we were all comfortable and had organized plans when leaving on our last day. At the end it was an emotional goodbye for all. Started as 10 strangers, 2 week later 10 friends saying goodbye. The 2 weeks I spent with this group will be remembered forever. I can;t thank Intro Travel and our unreal guide Lachlan Fleming enough. 12/10 experience!!!!
