Our trip to Tokyo and Hakone was amazing!
Our trip to Tokyo and Hakone was amazing! Our guide Jeremy was so pleasant and knowledgeable, I especially loved his color coded reference charts as he was explaining the area and history. It was so nice to not have to worry about how to get anywhere and to have Jeremy and our driver Blake take care of all the details. Stress free, wonderful time! More

Asia Highlights put together a personalized itinerary specific to our desires.
Asia Highlights put together a wonderful itinerary for us based on our specific requests. They tailored it exactly to what we wanted to see and do, and we’re always mindful of our budget. Our guide in Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, Slash, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. And his easy conversation made it an even more fun experience. We enjoyed talking with him about music, sports, and cars! We loved having him as our tour guide and would go with him again if we return. More
