    Hikari was an amazing tour guide. Sorting all the troubles with language barriers, adding in all the best local recommendations and showing us all the local spots. She made sure the whole trip ran smoothly, and kept looking after everyone. Giving recommendations, and helping out when people weren't up to the amount of walking needed for this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience. And because of trip, I've fallen in love with Japan even more than I did before! Words really can't sum up how great Hikari has been on this tour. If you are going to have a tour guide, then pray that it's a tour guide half as good as Hikari, and you'll have an amazing time. Hikari also controlled the weather to make sure we had a view of Mt Fuji.

    Morgan was personable, always open, approachable and Patient! Looking back I’m thankful for him just being himself as his passion for Japan came through everyday for us all to enjoy. I’m honestly left wondering if I’ll ever better the experience. His mix of Japanese and British heritage and culture puts you at ease the whole trip as you can relax as he leads you all the way. If all trutravel experiences were led by someone like Morgan I would always sign up again and again! I will be returning for a South American tour too, thanks to the unforgettable time I had with Morgan.

    The Japan tour was amazing, the optional extras meant we did everything we wanted to and more, Morgan was so well organised and got us to all our destinations smoothly, he even took part in a lot of optional activities which made the experiences run more smoothly and enjoyable, he has a lot of knowledge and passion for Japan and that came across throughout the tour. Morgan is a great tour guide with amazing organisation and we were lucky to have him for our trip!

    Morgan was a very nice guide, aldehyde tried to make everything work out for everyone. He catered to everyone’s dietary needs while still trying to give good authentic recommendations. We did a lot things that were not on the itinerary but people wanted to do, he always planned a head and made it work. Did a lot of vibe checks, made sure no one would feel left out or be uncomfortable. Very lovely guy! Would definitely recommend :)
