Elmers am unbelievable tour guide, always going above and beyond. He facilitated group activities well after his working hours ended every evening in Japan for our 2 week stay. Always offering a helping hand, he helped everyone with anything they needed - from painkillers to condoms. He was hilarious and thoughtful making everyone in the group felt at ease whether they were a nervous first timer or confident traveller. Couldnt recommend him enough ‚ 5 STARS
I have recently completed a tour of Japan with Intro. The service was excellent and the tour leader Andri was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and made the trip fun.
Backroad Japan was a great trip and really tested my fitness, or lack of it. The inns we stayed at were amazing as was the food. I particularly liked using the onsens at the end of the day. The trip is more moderate to challenging in some parts due to steep hills. The only aspect that caught us all by surprise was the heat and high humidity. It's not normally so hot or humid but you can't predict this sort of weather months out. This made trekking all the more challenging and onerous some days, so I happily passed on going on a trek when in Osaka. If you stay on after the tour, I recommend spending 2 nights in Hiroshima as there is so much to see and do. I made a day trip of it, but it took13 hours in all and I didn't get done all that I wanted to.
