We enjoyed every minute of it. It combined a wealth of opportunites to get closer to an understanding of the Japanese view of life with many of the 'must see' sites. Add to that the exposure to a fantastic cuisine and a great bunch of fellow travelers, and what more could you ask for?
Ive just returned from the 13 day Japan tour and cannot recommend enough! I will admit I was a little nervous to book as didnt know Intro Travel and couldnt see any recent reviews however after meeting our tour leader Anna and the group on day 1 that quickly vanished. This trip is a great balance of culture and fun activities, there is never a dull moment and I loved it all. Anna was lovely and so organised, she made the trip seem flawless so a big thank you to her for that! I will definitely be recommending this trip to my family and friends and have already booked my next Intro tour for 2024!
Review of Japan tour: If youre searching for a tour which boasts a relaxed, informative and fun vibe in which you have the opportunity to make friends for life by sharing accommodation and touring together then intro is for you! Having recently completed the Japan tour, I feel nothing more than fulfilment - both in a cultural and friendship capacity. During this tour you will have the opportunity to see popular sights whilst also exploring intimate experiences such as noodle and sushi making with local families and Buddhist ceremonies. Theres lots of walking, early morning starts and travelling so be prepared! The majority of the accommodation facilities are shared with people on your tour. I would recommend a few days either side of the trip to re visit sights or to complete other activities. Sometimes there is not enough time in the itinerary to spend long at the venues. I would also recommend booking activities for personal enjoyment in advance as most venues get really busy e.g micro pig cafe, universal or labworks etc. A huge mention to Michelle W for being such a selfless and informative tour guide. Michelle helped to find out further cultural information and help plan for onward travel, activities and food recommendations in free time. Michelle had a great energy and made my experience very special.
