Epic Japan: Speed Trains & Street Food
Epic Japan: Speed Trains & Street FoodJapan was so fun! A looooooot of free time so do you researches about what to do and visit in every city. Would have love more ''organised'' activities (like a dinner every night with the group,...). Compared to other G Adventures tour I did in the past, I felt that this group was less stick together since there was only a few group activities.

9D Splendid Japan with Nagoya (private 3 star hotel rooms)
9D Splendid Japan with Nagoya (private 3 star hotel rooms)Tours between Osaka and Tokyo were good. There were no organized tours of Osaka and Tokyo so I did them on my own. Hotels were good though I wish the Tokyo Hotel was closer to the City center. The brochure showed Toyota City is included but we were there on a Monday when they are usually closed. The bus was comfortable but miss not having Wi-fi and charging outlets. The Hiroshima and Kyoto were good tours but both were optional tours that we paid extra for.

Japan Express
Japan ExpressIt was a really great experience! Having both guided tours and lots of free time made for a nicely balanced tour where our guide, Toshimi, a very knowledgeable local, would show us parts of Japan and tell us of their significance historically and socially, and also tell us how and where to appreciate Japan during our free time. Our guide loves Japan's history and it was very interesting talking to him about Japan. He also made lots of great recommendations on places to see and eat at, and overall made the whole tour experience very convenient, fun, and informative.

Stunning Japan with Shirakawa-go (private 3 star hotel rooms)
Stunning Japan with Shirakawa-go (private 3 star hotel rooms)It was a very nice trip, with little, insignificant hiccup with accommodation in Osaka, which was resolved quite quickly. Yoyo, our guide, was funny and very patient with all of us. Definitely will recommend the tour to first time visitors to Japan.
