  I was traveling with my spouse, tween, and 70+ year-old parents. We visited during the busy cherry blossom season. We were lucky as we arrived during the peak of this season and cherry blossoms were abundant. It was also quite crowded, so I appreciated my family having our own guide (versus being part of a bigger tour group). Also, it was nice to be picked up at the airport so that we didn't have to find our way around a foreign country upon arrival. I think the value was good considering it included the hotel, entrance fees to places visited, and public transportation fares. It was nice not to have to worry about the logistics of getting from one place to another in a foreign country. Our online tour consultant was very responsive and helpful. Also, the guides were knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. The biggest challenge is that the days involved quite a bit of walking, which was difficult for my elderly parents. If I convince them to go on another trip, I would add in more leisurely days. Maybe that's my fault for not asking for some lighter days. I'm a bit torn because as a traveler, you do want to make the most of each day you are there to visit all the beautiful sites; but, it can also be exhausting. This also meant having to lug luggage around various trains to the various destinations. We stayed in four different hotels as we traveled across Japan. It was a packed itinerary; we were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. Over the course of five days, we visited Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Nara, Kyoto, Hiroshima, & Miyajima Island. Overall, an excellent trip that provided a snapshot of Japan. I would rate it four and a half stars if I could (but only whole stars were allowed). I recommend it for most families (including those with little ones and elderly); I would just add more rest days/free time (or fewer site visits per day), especially if you have members in your party that are young or elderly. Also, if you have members that have mobility issues (such as those in a wheelchair), I would work with the tour consultant as there were places that would be difficult to access. My consultant was great; I just don't think I took advantage of having chosen a “private, tailor-made" tour as much as I should have. I relied and trusted the recommendations. To be clear, their recommendations were all top notch, I just should have taken my family's (which included elderly parents) abilities more into account and been more vocal with what would be best to accommodate my specific family's needs.

  The tour package only provide one transport pick up from airport on the day of arrival to the hotel. The rest of the transfers from destinations to destinations was not included. We also have to figure out our own way from hotel to Osaka airport on the day of our departure. I think this is important to be included in the itinerary for a hussle free travel. Overall experience I felt that this custom-made tour package is over price for what was provided.

  It was my first time booking a trip on Agate Travel. I had a lot of worries, especially with three kids. When we got off the plane, we saw our guide waiting for us at the exit. It was at that time I felt a little relieved. In the next few days, the tour guide waited patiently for us in the hotel lobby and arranged the tour schedule in place. The hotels were comfortable and we had a good rest! A truly enjoyable holiday and exceeded our expectations!

  Our family (me, my husband, and 2 children) took a tour to Japan with agatetours. We were very happy. Our guide was courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly, careful with every detail of our schedule. His straightforward explanations made us know distinctive Japan culture. I have recommended you to my friends.

  We recently returned from our trip to Japan. It was really trustworthy! Itinerary- the tour route was perfectly arranged. Every famous attraction was listed as our wish and we were really pleased! All the hotels we stayed in were great, with advanced amenities and nice viewing windows. Guide Service- Koko was a native girl in kyoto. She was knowledgable, sharing with us lots of local historical events and facts. She had a good ability of arrangement, and no minute was wasted. Always be patient to our questions and be considerate to every member of my big family. We are grateful for all at agate for everything they have done to put in a wonderful trip. Thank you!

  We spent a most agreeable Japan tour with our professional guides. The hotels were all very well-equipped. The time allowed for each stop was reasonable and our schedule was rather flexible. Pretty satisfactory!
