👍🏻wonderful
it was a wonderful experience for my son. He said that was very happy tour with friends and teachers. Tasty food, different culture,beautiful city and country views, friendly people,neat Environment. Everything is different and amazing. Great experience in Janpan.
One of the highlights was our tour director, Alexander Lintz—he was phenomenal and truly made the experience unforgettable. We also really appreciated that the hotels were conveniently located closer to the city centers, which significantly reduced time spent on the bus. The variety of dinners each evening was a nice touch and kept things interesting. However, we were concerned that one of the dinners was arranged at an all-you-can-drink brewery located in Tokyo's red light district—especially for a group of 16-year-olds. This didn’t feel like an appropriate choice for the group. Additionally, the city guides in Osaka and Kyoto didn’t add much value. Alex was more than capable of leading these parts of the tour—he was often more knowledgeable and even had to correct the guides at times. Some of the guides also struggled with language barriers, which detracted from the overall experience. That said, the trip was incredibly memorable, and we’re grateful for the experience!
Overall, an excellent and well organized tour combining the right amount of travel, sightseeing and freetime. Wouldn't hesitate to do this again!
Experienced Japan in many different ways!!! I have led groups on Japan tours before, but the "Experience Japan" tour was a new itinerary for me. Doing a reverse tour of the "Golden Route" meant that travellers focused on more educational aspects and cultural activities earlier on in the trip while leaving the craziness of Tokyo bright lights and shopping towards the end. Although both routes have their pros and cons, this tour truly lived up to its name and included a balance of different types of cities/regions/climates, indoor and outdoor locations, and traditional and modern attractions. We had contact with different cultural instructors and conversations with staff from various types of restaurants and other venues. There was still ample free time for travellers to explore on their own. I felt that this tour maximized the students' experience of Japan in many different ways in numerous beautiful settings.
Amazing trip that got to some special parts of Japan that might have otherwise been missed.
Thanks, my son really enjoyed this experience 🙂
The tour guide is awesome and learned a lot from the tour. I was spoiled that they have given me my own privacy as a mother who went with my daughter on this tour.
Our students had a blast in Japan. The country has a lot of English embedded, so it wasn't overly difficult to communicate. On top of that, our tour director was very informative, and we loved the various stops.
