Our leader ( predictive text keeps changing name) was excellent went way beyond her leader duties. She give 110% to her job. Always happy smiling and giving information about the country
Simply Japan was everything I hoped it would be, and more! The variety of experiences and destinations, the transport arrangements, the accommodation were all really good. Our guide Tom Fallon was really excellent - he really did play a key role in making a first class trip. He helped us navigate the cultural differences in Japan and his tours were very informative. I learned a lot about japanese culture and customs. His choice of restaurants was also excellent. Thank you, Tom, for a really memorable trip. I will definitely travel with Explore again.
Dean G was an extraordinary guide replete with fascinating items of interest. Exhibiting humor,empathy,knowledge and patience he shepherded the twelve of us ranging in age from 17 to 74 through myriad experiences. One can always nitpick ones itinerary but the overall trip was a smashing success and fir.idable entry to the country and its culture.
I have just returned from the 17-day Japan tour, and I have to say, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our group leader, Lachie, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, you could feel his passion and deep knowledge of Japan. He helped me fall in love with the country in ways I never imagined. Lachie was calm, attentive, and downright amazing. His guidance made this experience unforgettable, and I truly believe this trip wouldn;t have been the same without him. A huge thank you to Intro for providing such an incredible experience. Japan is now officially my number one favorite country
Tom was an excellent guide - one of the best I've had on any trip. Very knowledgeable and highly organised making the trip truly superb. The itinerary was great - giving the opportunity to sample a wide range of what Japan has to offer. Enjoyed the train travel and it was great not having long travel days within the schedule
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.
