- RTRita· May 3rd, 2024This tour is very expensive for what you actually get, as nearly all of the travel is on public transport which is very time consuming. So much time was taken up on public transport that there was not enough time to explore the places we visited.Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Rita, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Southern Japan Experience. We are sorry that you were disappointed with the amount of time spent on public transport, public transport is one of the best ways to travel in Japan. At Intrepid,... Show moreTrip date: April 2024
- AKah H· September 18th, 2019Good guide and travel program.Trip date: April 2019
- AGarry S· September 18th, 2019Varied locations, great cross-section of customs and lifestyle of the people of southern japanTrip date: April 2019
- ADaniela W· September 18th, 2019The score is an overall score for all the trips we've been on. This trip was extremely poor but others were very good.Trip date: April 2019
- AMonika A· September 18th, 2019Our tour guide Xavier is excellent. He is the best tour guide I meet so far. He made my trip very easy and was very helpful. I really enjoyed learning new things about japan from him and doing fun stuff in my trip. He knows his job and does it beautifully making me feel very safe away from home and enjoy every moment in japan.Show moreTrip date: March 2019
- ALeanne W· September 18th, 2019Help was available when we needed it, but we also felt we were able to be independent if we wanted to.Also it was important for us not to be bussed from place to place, and to get a more authentic experience of everyday Japan.Trip date: March 2019
- AJason M· September 18th, 2019I enjoyed the mix of activities on the trip and the focus on allowing us to be as independent as possible.Trip date: March 2019
- APeter L· September 18th, 2019Generally speaking I feel the intrepid holiday I was on was a good and positive experience. It was well organised and provided all the experiences and information I expected from a holiday point of view of Japan.Trip date: March 2019
- AP W· September 18th, 2019We have enjoyed lots of trips in the past, and like the small groups etcTrip date: March 2019
- AErrol Z· September 18th, 2019Misleading information that it was one trip of 24 days, when in fact it was 2 separate trips joined together, resuling in loss of 2 days sight seeing and increased unnecessary long distance travelling. Trip costs were largely accommidation and trandport costs, with less than 1 activity per day. The trip is actually 22 days at most.Also misleading. Trip notes were of generic nature and of little difference to itinerary, not spevific enough for trip notes. Trip notes inconsistent in detail, and ssppear to be written by at least 12 different people.Show moreTrip date: March 2019
