Reviews of our Japan Young Adult Tours
Our Young travelers share exciting memories from their Japan adventures.
Daniel Sp | Traveled in November
Was an excellent tour! I am not a 'tour person' by any means but thought I would give it a try in Japan as I heard several concerns about transport and language. The tour was well put together and did really showcase some of the wonderful places in Japan I would have missed if I had planned it myself. My tour guide Kat was super helpful and made this trip even better, she helped with any concerns, gift guides, best places to get certain food and drinks and far more! Would absolutely recommend it for everyone.
Anonymous | Traveled in November
This trip was a great introduction to Japan for first time traveler. It has a good balance of included activities and free time to explore each location. Our trip leader Katherine is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and detail oriented.
Amber Do | Traveled in November
It was my first solo travel and let me tell you this tour was amazing!! Katherine our tour guide was so kind & made us all feel so comfortable and always had the best options for us to do on free time. Our time in Takayama was incredible! One of my favourite spots! All the hotels were in amazing locations and so close to public transport or shops. And can’t forgot I Made the most amazing friends!
Chaz Jo | Traveled in October
I had a fantastic time in Japan with Topdeck. We had a great group (18 total) and a fantastic Tour Leader named Marion who guided us expertly and gave great recommendations for things to do and food to eat. Japan is a culturally rich country with abundant shrines and delicious food and I would highly recommend anyone considering Japan to do it! Just be prepared to walk a lot everyday too
Roxana B. | Traveled in October
The trip was way more than expected. The group was amazing and my tour manager was so informed and help us a lot with a lot of activities as well. This trip is my favorite Contiki so far.
Meg | Traveled in September
Wonderful trip - perfect amount of time for every place. Goes to places I would never have been solo - takayama was a highlight and the special stays were a super cool experience. Lots of free time in this trip - which is nice to pick where you want to go. Time add ons were great, however not too many included experiences and dinners compared to other trips, which was a small downside. The TM we had was stella - lots of recommendations and perfect amount of information.
