This was our first visit to Japan. The small group tour, led by an excellent guide as all that we hoped for. Cultural experiences, history, exploring cities, and some countryside, and architecture. This is a wonderful tour, especially for people visiting this amazing country for the first time
Fantastic trip that exceeded my expectations
My Japan trip was an unforgettable experience thanks to NatGeo/G Adventures and their in country CEO Tomoko Hatano.
Outstanding opportunity to see the highlights of Japan. The hand-on epxeriences made the trip unforgetable! The guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and outstandigly helpful. This was the trip of a lifetime.
We experienced the rich culture of Japan guided by an expert local guide.
Loved Japan. Mika, our tour guide could not have been better. The restaurants we visited as a group were great. Would recommend adding Team Lab Planet to the Tokyo tour. The Geisha experience was unimpressive. It could have been more informative and entertaining. Also, for those of us in rear of room, it was difficult to hear.
Almost perfect
Visiting Japan has been on my bucket list since I was a kid and the Iconic Nat Geo Iconic Japan tour was everything I was looking for and more. The country is amazing, the tour was amazing , and the CEO was amazing. Thank you for an amazing adventure.
Fantastic
