Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

- CSCARLA· July 2nd, 2024Wonderful trip! Wonderful guide! Would definitely recommend. ❤️Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you Carla, so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time and your tour leader was fantastic.Trip date: June 2024
- Pam· December 4th, 2023Accomodation in Takayama was so disappointing. Too far out from town, the futons were not traditional, just very thin foam. Intrepid, your standards have slipped. The guide Hiro was good but the fact that she had 2 trainee guides with the tour, distracted her. Generally not satisfied with our experience.

- JMJan· November 16th, 2019Some more time in Osaka and visiting Koyasan at a less busier time would be good. The visit to the tea farm was great! Special Thanks to our guide, Morry the magician. He led us to some places that weren't included in the included activities.Trip date: October 2019
- TVTatiana· September 30th, 2019Great sample of all the classic Japanese foods! My favourite experiences on this trip were the fresh sushi from the Tokyo fish markets, the make-your-own takoyaki in Osaka, and the all-you-can-eat shabu shabu in Kyoto! Would definitively recommend trying some umeshu 'on the rocks' as nice sweet addition to a meal :) It was a shame we only got one day in Osaka compared to the 3 in Kyoto, which i assume is because of the timing on the railway passes, it made it a bit of a annoyance to travel to the airport in Osaka, so definitively would suggest staying at least an extra day there before flying out to see a bit more of the city. And if travelling solo, remember google maps got you covered for your train+fair info! PS. Early September temperature was around 30+C for the duration of the trip.Show moreTrip date: September 2019

- APedro T· September 18th, 2019We feel is very important to travel with a guide to answer any doubts and to better know the culture. It was interesting, on a culture and gastronomical view, the selection of the places we visited.Trip date: March 2019
