Diane M. | Traveled in October
From when we stepped of the aircraft and the tour began it was amazing the sites that was shown and the bus was clean at all times. The drivers was well presented and kept us all safe on the narrowest of roads. The highlight was the Bullet Train not to mention everything else was beautiful too.
Douglas J. | Traveled in October
Whenever I travel to a foreign country, one of my top priorities is to immerse myself in the broadest and most varied cultural experiences possible. I want to leave with a genuine sense of who the people are and what their daily lives are like. The expansive Costsaver itinerary offers exactly the kind of diverse and immersive cultural encounters I look forward to—and truly enjoy.
Ken H. | Traveled in July
It was a relaxed intinerary that showed both modern and older Japan. We visited 5 cities taking in modern Tokyo to older Kyoto and historic Himeji. My favourite place was Osaka. A modern city, but a little more relaxed than Tokyo. Hiroshima was very solemn.
Paul T. | Traveled in July
Wonderful way to explore Japan and visit multiple places with different experiences to offer. Be prepared to move at a quick pace if you want to take it all in.
Anonymous | Traveled in June
Very informative and fast paced. I believe following the tour we had a much better understanding of the Japanese including some of their customs and their way of life. Having an excellent tour guide like we had made the entire tour worthwhile.
Adrian W. | Traveled in June
