Wonderful trip. Perfect balance of walking in the country and visiting the cities. We loved staying in the Japanese ryokans, where the food was amazing. We slept well on the futons, loved wearing the kimonos around the ryokans and enjoyed relaxing in some of the onsens. Our guide, Tatsuya, was great - informative, considerate and always helpful. We enjoyed venturing out independently during some of our free time. The Japanese culture and vibes are so different - we are still processing everything we have seen and experienced. Good group of fellow travellers.
Couldn't be happier with the sights & food!! Any place went to visit next time: Gundam Base Tokyo Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Keigo, was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make this a great trip for us. I couldn't be happier with the sights we visited and the food we got to enjoy. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family.
We travelled as a couple. We had a good introduction to Japan. Visited many places from Tokyo to Hiroshima and back to Tokyo on a bullet train. The experience was amazing and we would love to go back to Japan again. Fellow travellers of mixed ages were friendly and some of them have travelled with Expat several times previously. The driver and local assistant together with the Tour Leader made us felt cared for and safe. The choice of the hotels were very good as all are in city centre location and have easy access to train, malls and surrounded by restaurants. I believe the success of the tour is very much depending on the Tour Leader. Our Tour Leader, Jamie was excellent in his leadership, management and fun personality. Very friendly and helpful. I am already looking for another trip with Expat.
