- AMaureen· March 27th, 2023The architecture and art at Nijo Castle was my personal favourite. Overall the amount of inclusions was impressive partly due to our guide’s attention to detail.Trip date: March 2023Review collected by Explore!
- ALynn· March 27th, 2023Our leader was the best. The support we had from him and your thoughtful setting up was excellent. Seeing the snow monkeys and walking through the pine forests, travelling by coach through the country was very good. Could catch a glimpse of life there.Trip date: March 2023Review collected by Explore!

- AKaren· May 17th, 2019Well organised from start to finish. The guide was knowledgable and helpful. Richard steered the group to the key points of interest at each of the visits, whilst giving us space to enjoy the sites at our own pace.
Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your great review!Trip date: May 2018 - AKeith· May 17th, 2019AtM cash outlets were easily accessible every where. We just took enough yen for the first few days. Even that was unnecessary. The advice to take cash wasn't necessary, 45 dollars each per day was too much. We got it just about right, but others carried cash all week and had a lot left.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for taking the time to write a review. I'm glad that you were able to rate the trip so highly. Our website includes average prices for lunch, dinner, water and beer in the hope that it will assist in budgeting for the tour.Trip date: April 2018
