I had an amazing time on the 13 day trip to Japan! The activities were so much fun and really well planned. The group dynamics were great, and it was such a friendly and positive atmosphere throughout. Huge thanks to our group leader, Adam, who did an excellent job making sure everything ran smoothly and that we all had the best time. Highly recommend!
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!!!!
The 13 day Japan Adventure was absolutely amazing thanks to our group leader Lachie Fleming. Lachie is incredible at his job - so approachable, knowledgeable, passionate, genuine, professional, organised yet flexible and such a laugh at the same time. He knows the ins and outs of each City, history, hot spots and had limitless options no matter what your interests were. Being a 24/7 job, Lachie was always available, consistent, high energy, positive and navigated his way around with such ease which meant we could just switch off and not worry about anything. Lachie never failed to go above and beyond to ensure everyone was having the best time and honestly made this trip an 11/10. Our group consisted of ages 23-38 and the tour was definitely catered to all. All the activities, accommodation, food and travel included were phenomenal for the price - I couldnt fault anything and would do it again tomorrow! First time in Japan and definitely not the last thanks to Intro Travel.
I just finished the 13 day Japan tour with Dan as group leader. This was my first Intro trip and I booked on to another whilst there! The tour was amazing, with a good mix of different places, activities and free time. Dan was extremely knowledgeable, made sure we had everything we needed and always brought the energy. I highly recommend this trip, I only wish I could have Dan as my group leader for future tours.
Just finished the 13-day Japan tour and had an amazing time! Dan was our group leader, and he made everything feel easy, fun, and informative. He was always thoughtful, super knowledgeable, and brought great energy to the group. Thanks to him, we got to experience Japan in a really memorable way!
We just finished the 13 day Japan tour with Dan as our group leader. This was our first Intro trip and will not be the last! The tour was amazing, with a great group, and we had a great time. The itinerary is great with a good mix of places and activities. Dan was extremely knowledgeable about all things Japan, and he went over and above to make sure that we had everything we needed and got us everywhere on time. I highly recommend this trip, and if your group leader is Dan you will be in great hands!
I did the japan tour and it was amazing the group leader Dan was amazing and helpful i would definitely go again.
I just finished the 13 day Japan tour with the most wonderful group leader Gemma. This trip surpassed all my expectations and was absolutely incredible, and a lot of that was down to having such a great leader, and the best group leader I’ve had on any group trip. She made the trip stress free and was there for anything we needed. She had so much knowledge about Japan and was so passionate about the country and giving us the best experience. If you get Gemma on your Japan tour, you are so lucky and you are guaranteed an amazing trip. Would 10/10 recommend!
Just finished the 13 day Japan tour and it was fantastic. Special mention to our tour guide Gemma who fantastic and made the tour as good as it was. I have never had a better tour guide and the trip would not have been as good as it was without her.
I couldn’t recommend the Japan tour more! Gemma is an absolute star—if you’re fortunate enough to have her as your guide, you’re guaranteed a trip with the most immaculate vibes. She’s without a doubt one of the most organised tour leaders I’ve ever had, which really took the stress out of travelling.
My 3rd trip with intro travel now and another absolutely amazing trip! I have just returned from the 13 day Japan tour and can’t thank Cam, our group leader enough for the incredible time we had on this brilliant trip. Having participated in a number of group trips in the past, I’ve learnt how much a group leader can make or break a trip and Cam 1000% made it the most amazing, memorable and special time for everyone in the group - going above and beyond to make everyone in the group feel so cared for, heard and welcome. He guided us through each location so well, taking any of the normal stresses of travelling away from us. He also was so knowledgeable on any question I or the others in my group had and seemed truly passionate about the country and his job which was so lovely to see. I’d so recommend this trip to anyone considering it and I hope you also get to experience it with Cam as your group leader as his really was the best! Thank you Cam!
I went on the 13 day Japan Adventure and it absolutely exceeded expectations! Lachie was my guide, and he was so friendly, made travel easy, and took great pictures!
Just had the time of my life on my first travel experience by myself with intro for the 13 day Japan Tour and it was amazing!!! I finally got to visit my dream country, discover new knowledge about Japan such as its amazing history and culture, live almost like a Japanese citizen, explore the amazing streets and night life! I also met many wonderful people that have been amazing throughout the trip and now consider good friends, they made the trip better than I could imagine. I really enjoyed this trip and have to come back after the intro to Japan to do even more. Also a big thanks to Dan Aaron our tour guide as I got to see everything on the tour itinerary and more thanks to all his recommendations and help he provided so I could get around easy and without a worry. Definitely one of the coolest guys I met and is really fun to hang out with, he also does some awesome photos and is an amazing singer😂. 5/5 for me as he went above and beyond what he had to for us!🔥
Had the best time on the 13 day Japan tour, all of the main tourist spots were covered but some additional hidden gems and experiences were included which made this trip so special. Dan was the best tour leader and went above and beyond everyday, he provided great information at each location and got some epic pictures of us all. This trip wouldn’t have been as fun without Dan or the other awesome travellers, I will definitely be traveling with Intro Travel again!
Just finished my first tour with Intro in Japan. it was truly a trip of a lifetime! our tour guide Lachie was incredible and went above and beyond to make our time as good as it could be. I would highly recommend the Japan tour to anyone!
just finished the 13 day Japan tour, it was a really enjoyable tour with so many cool activities to do, our group leader Lachie was so organised and made the whole trip seamless as well as fun and enjoyable, met some really great people along the way too. would definitely recommend doing this tour to anyone! 😊 🍣 🌸
Just got done with the 13 day Japan trip and it was amazing! This was the first time ever solo traveling and staying in hostels, and even though I was nervous I grew to love it. Our tour guide Dan was the absolute best. Very informative, friendly, fun, and on top of absolutely everything. If you want to go on a trip and have everything planned and figured out for you Intro Travels and tour guide Dan is where its at. Top highlights: Mt. Fuji Snow monkeys Collecting stamps everywhere Samurai DAN THE MAN All the amazing people in my group ¦ Honestly the list could go on and on Be prepared to shed some tears when you have to leave.
I had the trip of a lifetime in Japan, I loved every minute. The tour covers so much of beautiful japan and the included activities were great (and seeing Mount Fuji was AMAZING!!). Dan was my leader and he was just amazing - he had so much cultural knowledge and was so organised with everything, and was always looking out for us and helping with any questions or worries we had. My group was amazing, and with Dans help we definitely felt like a little family in the end. As a solo traveller who was nervous to book this, Im so glad I did and I would highly recommend this tour and Intro travel to anyone who is considering it- you wont regret it!!! :)
The 13 day Japan tour was so much fun, would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a great itinerary with a good mix of cities and more rural areas and really fun activities. I got to do so much that I never would’ve thought of if I didn’t do the tour. Dan was a great group leader, so helpful all the way through and really enthusiastic about Japan. He worked really hard to make sure we all had a great time. This was my second intro trip and not be the last😊
The Japan tour was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever taken. The food was delicious and everything we visited was very interesting and beautiful. But it wouldn;t have been nearly as nice without our tour guide Dan. He had extra information at every location and no matter what, he was super helpful. He also helped me a lot with planning before and especially after the tour.
I have just got back from the 13 day trip to Japan and had the best time. The tour was a great experience from start to finish. This was in no small part to our group leaders Dan and Michelle who were amazing and I am so glad I got to experience Japan with such great people. The tour was a good mix of planned activities and free time in really cool and interesting places, and the local guides we met to do activities with were authentic and really felt like experts. I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking of visiting this wonderful country and INTRO made everything so easy for a very lazy man like me.
I recently returned from an incredible 13-day tour of Japan, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable trips Ive ever experienced. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the tranquil temples of Kyoto, every day was packed with adventure, culture, and amazing sights. The tour was extremely well-organized, and a huge part of its success was due to our outstanding group leaders, Dan and Michelle. They were nothing short of phenomenal”always professional, approachable, and full of energy. Their knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and local secrets added so much depth to the experience. Whether it was navigating the Shinkansen (bullet train) or recommending the best ramen spots, they made every part of the journey seamless and enjoyable.
Just returned from the 13 day intro trip to Japan. It was fantastic trip covering so much and with a great group of people. Lachie our group leader was brilliant - with so much knowledge of Japan, great recommendations and just always happy to help wherever he could to make sure everyone was having the best time. Everything ran super smoothly thanks to him and definitely made the trip even better. Would really recommend the trip and hopefully you get Lachie as your tour leader!
Recently just finished the Japan 13 day Intro Trip and had an amazing time and experience, visiting some of the sites Japan has to offer. Even before we arrived Lachie got in contact with us to make sure we arrived safe and made it to the starting point/hostel. Lachie also made a group chat so that we can all interact and communicate with others on the tour as well and post helpful guides, locations and things to do when in each new place of the tour. Lachie was very knowledgeable about the temples and Japan history and incredibly helpful and always suggested multiple options and got the groups consensus in regards to places to go during free time. Overall Lachie made the tour fun and relaxing by not having to worry about accommodation and transport as well as interacting and getting to know how we all were going and if we were going ok and also made sure we knew how to get back to the airport after the tour or wherever our plans were after. I am looking forward to my next trip with intro in the future and hopefully get Lachie again as my group leader
