Katherine R. | Traveled in July
Very good tour, unique experiences, excellent food and hotels. Tour guide went out of his way to make our time in Japan special, he was informative and super organised.
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.
Sana | Traveled in July
We had a wonderful trip and great experience. Our guides Jamie Seymour and kanako made our journey so smooth. We would love to go all our tours with expat only. We already booked our next trip with Expat.
Andrew | Traveled in July
I this trip provides a good introduction to Japan. We covered a lot of ground and visited many places using trains to move efficiently. Our guide Irene was exceptional in so many way and made the trip so memorable.
Katri N | Traveled in July
The difficulty was, that most people in the group were not in such a good physical shape as demanded in the tour description online. Because of that, a lot of activities were cancelled and cut short. For those of us, who were really waiting for the activities (like the hikes & bike tour), this was an annoyance, I'm sorry to say. Otherwise the tour was amazing, the accommodations and food were absolutelt amazing, so were the destinations!!
