Gonaseelan N. | Traveled in September
The trip was absolutely fantastic. Well organized, tours were uniquely interesting. Although all the tour guides were excellent, special mention must be made of Ken Estevez who went over an above his call of duty to assist us with various aspects of the tour. His knowledge of Japan, its culture and religious belief systems is highly commendable. Ken was able to answer questions and give a clear narrative of important information not only verbally but through well thought out appropriate media presentations. He truly is an asset to the company.

Excellent trip, well organised and a very good guide. The hotels chosen were first class. As well as seeing interesting cities and countrywide we had some great experiences such as the cookery lesson, origami making, tea ceremony and drumming. We also experienced the Bullet train and had two fabulous dinners included
Veronique R. | Traveled in September
I loved Japan seeing all there was to offer on our trip 🇯🇵. I didn’t like the 4 changes in our tour guides I feel you need to keep the same guides for the whole trip. I understand not all the people go to all the places but it would be nice to have the same group the whole way in the tour.

Our tour was action packed sight seeing. Bamboo forest and Peace Park are two of my favorite outings. Our tour guide was great. The last night with our tour group included a dinner that was amazing. The staff and the attention to details unbeatable, along with excellent food. Whiskey Nova Steakhouse sits high above Osaka with great views.

Japan Unrivalled was amazing! It took me everywhere that I wanted to go for my first trip to Japan! Our trip manager was so knowledgeable (and funny), as were our incredible local guides. I learnt so much and saw so much, I can’t wait to come back to Japan!
