This tour operator made our trip to Japan an experience of a lifetime - we had such a blast. Our tour guide was extremely passionate about what he does and this is evident with his endless energy and enthusiasm. He continually goes above and beyond with what is expected and as well as having masses of fun he taught us so much about the culture and history of this fascinating country. 5 stars isn't a high enough rating, hands down he is the best tour we have ever had.
Our Backroads of Japan walking trip was fabulous. Our guide Akemi was excellent with her knowledge and help for the tour group. However, in places where the walking was quite difficult we feel that Akemi could have had an assistant so that there would be one at the front and one at the back for safety reasons.
Our tour leader was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge of the culture as well as his practical skills as a guide undoubtedly enhanced my experience in Japan in a way that can only be expressed verbally as exponentially positive. He always had a ton of energy, was always excited and engaged with what we were doing, and just genuinely made the trip so much fun. I love all things athletic and outdoor activities like hiking and climbing and our tour leader was giving me a true run for my money on all of our outdoor activities. The fact that our tour leader was also one of the best hikers and runners made the trip that much more enjoyable. Overall, amazing. No negative feedback, I had the best time of my life.
