Wonderful tour of Japan

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

Saadet AOn Sep 2, 2025

Overall, this tour was a great experience. The tour covered an excellent range of historical and cultural sites and activities, and provided a good introduction to Japanese culture and history. The CEO was amazingly organized, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and helpful.

It was a great tour and perfect for some with no knowledge of Japan. Honestly one of the most incredible tours of my life and now I am craving to return and go on more G Adventures.

Amazing tour of Japan with GAdventures. We got to experience city and country side with an amazing and knowledgeable guide.

Kelley GOn Jun 9, 2025

Excellent

As expected we fell in love with Japan. The amazing combination of history, culture, fabulous gardens, great food and many warm and lovely people far surpassed our expectations. We enjoyed the variety of the itinerary from modern Tokyo to the samurai era village and town of Tsumago and Kanazawa, to the history of Hiroshima and the beauty of Kyoto. The tour provided us with stress free travel. The guide was amazing and travel arrangements were superb. The extra activities of sushi making class, calligraphy, Samaurai sword training, zen meditation and the Maiko experience added to our fun and understanding. We were part of a wonderful group of 9 tour members of varying ages, interests, abilities and from different parts of the world. We look look forward to our next National Geographic Journey.
