What people love about Asia Tours in January
- Japan Winter Classic 11 Day - One Life Adventures
As a first-time traveller to Japan, this was an incredible experience and one I highly recommended to other like-minded explorers. Over 11 days, our group travelled from Tokyo to Nagano, experiencing everything from temples and shrines, to an authentic kendo experience, and even viewing the snow monkeys! The itinerary was never bare, but it also allowed plenty of time to explore at your own pace. A winter trip and strategic planning ensured minimal crowds when visiting the major tourist hotspots (such as Fushimi Inari Taisha), and when we did encounter the crushing bustle of people (usually on the train!) it seemed like an addition to the experience rather than a constant nightmare. We definitely couldn’t have had the experience we did though if it wasn’t for our tour guide, Jordan. Always cool, calm, and collected, Jordan’s knowledge of the country and his impeccable organisation ensured that we were always where we needed to be, and that we were experiencing the best of Japan without worrying about if we were going to miss crucial transport or activities. When we did run into a road block (the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building was closed), Jordan smoothly pivoted and we had an equally awesome time at the Skytree instead. We also all appreciated Jordan’s food and activity recommendations during free time, and learned way more about the regions we were visiting than if we’d explored on our own. Overall, I had an amazing trip and I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone considering travelling to Japan (and while I can’t speak for all the members of the group, I’m sure they’d agree!). Thank you Jordan, and thank you One Life Adventures!
- Highlights of Israel and Jordan - 11 days
Very nice trip with good coverage of most important and interesting places. Our guide AB is very knowledgeable in history and culture. We really enjoyed this trip.
- Heritage of the Holyland and Jordan Tour - 11 Days
The trip was like two tours rolled into one (three tours for those carrying on to Egypt). The days in Israel were long: I would say that they averaged ten or eleven hours a day to fit in all of the sites we were taken to (one of the reasons I picked this particular tour was the sheer volume of sites). The guide was extremely knowledgeable on the subject. The coach driver deserves a special mention for getting us out of some tight spots and for going out of his way to save us a few metres walking wherever possible. The guide in Jordan had a great sense of humour and gave us free time at each of the locations, which was very much appreciated.
