  • Discover Japan on a Budget: 8-Day Ultimate Starter reviewer 1
    · July 10th, 2024
    There was nothing in that tour that I could not have planned by myself. Further more, I could have gotten all the hotel stays and the train trips and the sky hop on hop off buses for less than I paid for this package. I felt like I was in a scavenger hunt running back and forth looking for the next bus or train to be able to see any of the interesting sites and the only ones I was able to see are the ones I scheduled on my own outside of the package. The only highlight I really enjoyed was the Shibuya food tour. If you want to go to Japan on budget I don't recommend this tour. You can do all the same bookings of this tour on your own and really save money and keep your budget.
