Japan Tours and Trips for Seniors

My wife and I had an incredible time on our Backroads of Japan tour. This was our first ever international trip, and even with booking a tour, we weren't sure what to expect. Fortunately, our tour guide was simply phenomenal. He was perfectly fluent in Japanese and English, knowledgeable in every facet of the country (down to the geology!), attentive to the needs of our very diverse group, and knew every nook and rest stop along every trail we hiked. Overall, I made friends and many more memories through this unforgettable itinerary, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to experience Japan for the first time.

Many of the temples, shrines and castles were extraordinary, but the one that stands out was Matsumato Castle. I liked the opportunity to do craft activities and the performance by an actual Geisha during the farewell dinner was another highlight.

All of the temples, shrines, and castles were amazing, especially the Golden Temple.. I learned many things about Hiroshima that were new to me. The performance by the Geisha at the farewell dinner was very special.

Good tour in general. However, it is important to know that even if you book an English tour, it will likely be conducted in Spanish and English. We had two guides explaining the same thing in both languages. The English spoken but a couple of the guides was not very good. The hotels are excellent. The food included was also very good. The buses are good but I would like them to have a little bit more leg space. The total days of actual tour is less because the first and the last day there are no activities. In addition, the day before the end there is only one activity and a short bus ride to Osaka. We got to the hotel at 10:30 AM and that was it. Therefore the last two days you are basically on your own.

His kindness, the valuable information he shared, and his genuinely funny and uplifting spirit made the experience unforgettable. He created a comfortable atmosphere and added a special touch to every moment of the trip. Jesus Jesus went above and beyond. His support continued all the way until the end of my trip — even on his day off. This level of dedication and care shows how committed he is to ensuring guests feel supported at every step. I am genuinely grateful for his help. Martin Martin showed a remarkable act of kindness when he gave me and my wife his umbrella on a cold winter day. This simple gesture meant a lot to us and reflects his thoughtful character. We truly appreciated his care and consideration.

The entire Trip was much more than I had expected. The hotels were great and pj's?? in every room? Some with Onsens! The activities planned were really special. The sites we visited was like a tour book/calendar that came to life. I am so sorry I came home as I wanted to see more. Our tour manager was fantastic. He was a wealth of knowledge and very engaging. I would highly recommend this tour! and so far Collette has no disappointed me, this was my 6th trip with them.
