Japan 2025
I visited japan with my family in July 2025, I have to say our tour guide was amazing. He name is Ellie and she had the most amazing energy, she was super attentive and helped us communicate when needed. She listened to what we wanted to do and added it to the plan of the day. She recommended really good food places and guided us.

Kimura was exceptional!! He was informative, knowledgeable and friendly. By the end of the tour, I had gained a new friend! The tour around Tokyo was fascinating! I learned so much about Japanese history and culture. I also learned about the public transportation system, which was very helpful when we were on our own the next day!

Fabulous family trip to Japan
Best way to travel thru a foreign country with teenagers who don’t always agree on what to do. Our itinerary was set before we left so there wasn’t any stress from planning our days during the trip. Having a driver with a big van and wonderful guides made getting around stress free. Everything was arranged perfectly.
