I think this was the best tour that I chose thankfully, I had some help from my mom in order to choose which one so for whoever is trying to decide which one to do this one’s perfect you get to do multiple things visit multiple sites and also have 3 to 4 hours free time which works if you wanna go visit other places or shopping to just keep in mind that when you choose you can to do other things after you visit the sites with the tour guide and the group

Hikari was an amazing tour guide. Sorting all the troubles with language barriers, adding in all the best local recommendations and showing us all the local spots. She made sure the whole trip ran smoothly, and kept looking after everyone. Giving recommendations, and helping out when people weren't up to the amount of walking needed for this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience. And because of trip, I've fallen in love with Japan even more than I did before! Words really can't sum up how great Hikari has been on this tour. If you are going to have a tour guide, then pray that it's a tour guide half as good as Hikari, and you'll have an amazing time. Hikari also controlled the weather to make sure we had a view of Mt Fuji.

Hikari was amazing she made the trip so amazing and comfortable. She was so organised and calm and felt like my friend more than a guide I loved it

Morgan was personable, always open, approachable and Patient! Looking back I’m thankful for him just being himself as his passion for Japan came through everyday for us all to enjoy. I’m honestly left wondering if I’ll ever better the experience. His mix of Japanese and British heritage and culture puts you at ease the whole trip as you can relax as he leads you all the way. If all travel experiences were led by someone like Morgan I would always sign up again and again! I will be returning for a South American tour too, thanks to the unforgettable time I had with Morgan.

My guide enhanced my experience of Japan. He was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited and provided useful recommendations of food and places to go. We participated in different types of activities on this tour allowing us to fully enjoy all that Japan has to offer.

Zane was the absolute best tour guide! Always bringing great energy every day and going above and beyond for everyone in the group! He was very knowledgeable and showed great enthusiasm when taking us through Japan! Was an honour to see his favourite tree, truly special! Zane, thank you so much for an amazing time and for being just a great guy! Hope to see you again, Max!

Had a great tour in Japan with a great tour guide Zane. Zane was constantly active and always helped straight away when needed and very informative. Everyday was different and fun as well as the nightlife. Definitely recommend this!

Zane was an amazing guide, he was fun and easy to get along with, and had extensive knowledge of the culture and history. He was helpful and attentive, and always made sure we were all having a great time on the tour.

Our guide was truly amazing and didn’t feel like a guide at all in the best way. By the end of the tour Zane had become a good friend to everyone in the tour, which made it feel less like an actual tour and more like you were visiting a good friend. I was sick twice on the tour, which Zane handled professional and made sure that I received the care that I needed and that I was okay to take part in certain activities.

Morgan has been a fantastic guide. Throughout the tour he was informative, friendly and approachable, and always brought positive energy and a great sense of humour to the group. He was consistently checking in with everyone to make sure they were having a good time and feeling comfortable whilst actively trying to ensure everyone got to see, do and buy what they wanted outside of the scheduled activities (including going out of his way to check stock in shops of specific items and pick up engraved chopsticks whilst we were at the tea ceremony so people didn’t have to go back to collect them). When I arrived in Japan days before the tour started I reached out to him and he was more than happy to give me advice on navigating the transport and recommendations on places to eat which was really helpful and it was greatly appreciated to have a line of support when on my own despite him not being my tour guide yet. Additionally, when all of the group went to universal studios during a free afternoon he planned things we could do so I wouldn’t be alone for the day. Overall, all the small things he did for me and the group really made this one memorable and elevated the experience of the trip. I’ve done quite a few group tours now and it really makes a difference when you get a guide who loves their job and is passionate towards their country and its culture/food etc and they want to share that with you and that really came across with Morgan. During free time he wanted us to get the most out of Japan and rather than send recommendations and leave us to it like I’ve had in the past, he was right there showing us as much as he could. It felt like we were travelling with a friend rather than a guide which was really nice. He went above and beyond to give us the best possible time and I genuinely believe that it’s not just because it’s the job but because he wants to do that for people. What a credit to your team. Morgan- I’m very glad Steve raved on about your tour; I can see why he loved it so much (I won’t tell him he was right though)! Thank you for everything. Keep doing what you are doing. It was an absolute pleasure seeing Japan with you.

Morgan was an incredible tour guide! It really shows how much he cares and ensures everyone has a great Japan experience - whatever that might be! I’ve tried so many foods that I wouldn’t have before, and have enjoyed getting to know the culture. We had some issues with a yr old man on our trip that made some of us uncomfortable at times, but Morgan dealt with it professionally. I would love to come back again on another Japan tour.

Where to begin I recently had the incredible opportunity to explore Japan, and one of the highlights of my trip was a relaxing temple stay. Our tour guide, Hikari, made the experience truly unforgettable she may be small in stature but not to be underestimated or messed with she was a power house a Geisha by day Ninja assassin by night. The tour started of by meeting over social media so by the time we met in person it was as tho we had met before it was a good way to break the ice . We traveled around a lot as a group and covered a lot of ground in a very short amount of time . Saw the highest of the highs and continued to climb . One of the highlights of my trip was a relaxing temple stay. Our tour guide, Hikari, made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, Hikari’s warmth and friendliness shone through. She was not only beautiful but also exceptionally knowledgeable about Japanese culture, history, and the spiritual significance of the temple and shrines we visited. Her passion for sharing her country’s traditions was evident in every story she told and every detail she pointed out. The temple stay was a serene escape from the bustling city life. Hikari guided us through the tranquil gardens, explaining the symbolism behind each element and the practices of the monks who live there. Her insights deepened our understanding and appreciation of the serene surroundings. Making the experience both educational and spiritually enriching. What truly set Hikari apart was her ability to connect with each of us on a personal level. She was always attentive to our questions and needs, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged and she never ever left anybody behind . Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she had a unique way of making the history and culture come alive. Overall, Hikari was an exceptional guide who made Japan a cherished memory. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an enriching and authentic experience in Japan. Thank you, Hikari, for being such a wonderful guide and for sharing the beauty of your country with us I will never forget you .

Hikari is fun and energetic she wanted to make sure everyone was having a good tour and was able to adapt to what the group wanted and needed at the time. She was very knowledgeable on the itinerary and answered all our questions.

Hikari was the best tour guide we could have hoped for on this tour. She was fun friendly and had the best food and activity recommendations! She always got involved with all the activities as part of the group, always made sure everyone was looked after and having a great time. I can’t fault Hikari on anything on this tour and I came away with a new friend!

Hikari, you were absolutely amazing throughout our entire -day journey! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Your attention to detail, especially in making sure that I, as a vegetarian, had delicious and thoughtful options, was incredibly appreciated. You took us to some wonderful hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. What really stood out was how you made each experience feel special and personalised. Whether it was exploring the sights during the day or going for some brilliant nights out, you were always there with us, making every moment even more fun and enjoyable. Your warmth, kindness, and local knowledge made our trip one we will never forget. Thank you for everything—you were a huge part of what made this adventure so special!

Zane was enthusiastic and helpful. He was calm and made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy the trip. He was also fun and had a great sense of humour.

Its was absolutely amazing in the Philippines but was terrible in Japan. No airport pick up, uniformed luggage restrictions and delays (for half the trip you don't have full access to our belongings but they don't mention that until you get there) included activities were canceled or rebooked 4 times in 2 weeks. No local Japanese guide so often felt like we were being treated like tourists instead of guests.
