    · December 18th, 2023
    The Japan winter wonder trip has been a hit and miss for me. Hit: 1. Contiki has been professional in its hotel accommodation arrangement. 2. Our tour manager Renee has been very friendly and helpful, so does the local Japanese tour guides hired in different cities. 3. The organized tours cover most of the top destinations in each city. 4. The pace of the tour is good, as it mixed organized tours and free time add-ons. Miss: 1. We were brought to shopping plaza for lunch / dinner a few times. Contiki can do a better job recommending highly rated local restaurants for us to have a better dining experience. 2. Contiki is first and foremost an Australian travel agency targeting yound Australians. > 90% of your fellow travelers are young Australians (< 25 years old). If you do not conform to this demographic, you will likely have a hard time connecting with many of your fellow travelers. 3. Related to point 2 above, heavy drinking / partying can be expected throughout the trip. If you are not a drinker or party animal, you may want to think twice about joining this trip.

    It was alright. Jaz was nice and I have no complaints about the tour management. The people on the tour could have been vetted better however.

    The first half of the tour was amazing, japan is absolutely stunning , the hotel's and breakfast was awesome and the included extras The snow was amazing but that is because of mother nature, the Hotel that is provided is pretty basic compared to the rest in town and the breakfast is the worst all trip They say 6 days snow but remember to cut of the first day and last for travel, and make sure you bring enough money for your ski hire and lift pass as its not included The tour guides and Trip manager did a amazing job Thankyou!!
