I just completed the 13 day Japan trip with Michelle I had a great time each and every day! So much to see and experience. The trip was organized and left me with no worries. Just chill and enjoy the Japanese culture. Our group was so much fun. Fast friendships. Highly recommend. Thanks Michelle!
A great introduction to Japan This is an excellent introduction to Japan. The days are quite busy but not excessively so and there is a good balance of free time to do your own thing. I found the balance of time in most places to be spot on and there is a good mix of big cities and smaller places. The group size at 18 is too large especially for a tour which is all by public transport. Japan was wonderful - if in doubt go!
A great way to discover Kyoto. We covered lots, Heian Jingu, The Silver Pavilion, Philosophers' Walk. Our guide even suggested the Nishiki food market as good lunch destination and Gion for Geysha spotting after the tour. The bikes were comfortable and the tour was a gentle ride, mainly riverside. Kyoto has a much more laid back vibe than Tokyo. Highly recommended.
