Japan 2026

This tour far exceeded all of my expectations. The accommodation, food, and activities were all brilliant and the amount of free time gave the tour a more relaxed feel (especially needed in the sweltering heat of July/August!). I thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the places we visited, social norms, food and so much more due to our incredibly knowledgeable tour guide Beth. Beth was absolutely amazing. I truly could not have wished for anyone better to lead this tour. Beth’s historical knowledge is astounding: I learnt SO much because of her detailed, engaging explanations and her ability to answer any question in depth is incredible! I truly believe that anyone - regardless of their affinity for history - would be captivated by her teachings! Beth consistently provided recommendations of places to eat and things to do in our free time and every single one was a hit! Beth even went out of her way to find vegan/vegetarian places for us to eat and every single one was amazing! Beth also explained the transport system in detail to help us navigate the labyrinth-like public network system with ease, giving us the confidence to tackle it alone too! Beth consistently created a welcoming and inclusive environment, where everyone felt comfortable and able to be themselves. Beth always went out of her way to make sure everyone felt ok and never failed to uplift everyone with her humour, patience and kindness. Beth truly made this experience special and I can not thank her enough for making this trip such a life-changing experience. You are incredible Beth - thank you.

Japan Tour of Dreams!

Tour Guide: Beth This tour was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. I knew nothing about the history of Japan, or about current day Japan and how to make my way around and abide to social norms, and social media made it worse with all of the contradictory information. But, Beth made the whole thing easy. She was informative and knowledgable and made sure we all knew exactly what we were doing and how to do it. I never felt overwhelmed or stressed because Beth carried the weight of it all with a smile on her face. Our tour was during the summer, and it has been a HOT one. With most of the country on a sunstroke warning, Beth was constantly checking in to make sure we were hydrated and had everything we needed. Even when we were all exhausted and overheated, she kept the vibes up! The essentials tour was perfect because we covered so much of Japan in such a short time, but we also had a good amount of free time to do anything else we wanted to do that wasn’t on the itinerary. We were given plenty of recommendations if we weren’t sure too! All of the accommodation sites were great. They are hostels, so I didn’t go in with high hopes. But, they were clean and provided so many essentials - I really can’t complain! Myself and my travel partner were both vegetarian, and when we got to Japan, we realised very quickly that it was going to be hard to eat anything at all. Our tour guide - Beth - gave us so many recommendations for vegetarian and vegan restaurants and was always making sure we were eating! As stated earlier, during the tour, Beth was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Japan. So, as a history lover, this was great for me! She could answer all of my questions and I have no idea how she stores all of the information in her brain! Beth always made it clear that we didn’t have to listen to the information she was giving if we didn’t want to, but she delivered it with such enthusiasm, we were all completely locked in. This tour was genuinely a life changing experience for me, and the worst part of the whole thing was going home. I’ll carry this with me forever. And for Beth, you are an absolute angel on this earth. You made this whole experience better than I could have ever anticipated. Thank you for everything you’ve done. You are sunshine personified!

9 day Japan essentials tour

Beth was such a wonderful tour guide. Along with the scheduled itinerary, her added optional extras never disappointed. She did a wonderful job at making everyone feel included and to make sure that there was something for everyone to do on the tour. The tour was paced out very nicely with lots of free time to do your own exploring, or to just hang out and do as you please. I never felt forced to go out and do anything, Beth made sure everyone had a comfortable experience as well as a fun one. There was also lots of history given behind the sites we went to see, which I personally really enjoyed. Overall, I made great friends on this trip and that can be attributed to the positive and friendly environment created by our tour guide Beth. This is an experience I will never forget and I highly recommend this to anyone!! 😁

Best Tour guide for Japan

My experience in Japan was absolutely fantastic even though it was peak heat season ( July-August). Beth, our lovely tour guide made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable. She was very excited and passionate to talk about historical facts, answer all questions we asked in depth and most importantly kept it entertaining. Beth was more than happy to help with personal itinerary’s, travel worries etc which was really reassuring for me as i can be an anxious traveller She had the best recommendations for food spots/ shops/ sight seeing and took us out for karaoke which was a blast. The group size can range up to 22, we had 6, and 7 including beth. so travelling by bus/subway/train was super easy and smooth, beth had explained the routes via bus etc very well so we were all confident to go off by ourselves. I stayed for 9 days and am very happy with everything i’ve seen, and i saw my whole checklist of places along with some local spots that aren’t swallowed with tourists thanks to beth’s recommendations.

Incredible Tour – Beth is the Best

An unforgettable 14 days in Japan! The tour was packed with incredible adventures and perfectly organised. Our guide, Beth, was amazing—she gave the best recommendations for food, shrines, and anime shops during our free time. Travelling solo, I was thrilled to make so many lifelong friends along the way. Bring comfortable shoes and prepare for an amazing time!

Great tour!

Japan is a beautiful country, and this 14-day Intro Travel tour allowed me to see so much of it in a relatively short space of time. There is a lot of travelling involved, but that's the only way to experience such a great mix of cities, towns, and rural areas across the country. Be prepared to get plenty of steps in, but that definitely helps balance out all the amazing food you'll be enjoying along the way! The tour offers a fantastic mix of culture, food, nightlife, city life, and rural experiences, giving you a real feel for what Japan has to offer. Beth was a fantastic tour leader. She shared so much insight into Japanese culture, history, and everyday life, which made the experience even more worthwhile. Her knowledge and enthusiasm really enhanced the trip and helped us get the most out of every destination. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the highlights of Japan while travelling with a great group and an excellent guide. The tour was good value and didn’t feel crowded.

Amazing trip ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an amazing time on the Japan Classic 14-day trip. The tour took all the stress out of planning and navigating busy stations, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. Our tour guide, Beth, was so friendly and knowledgeable, making the trip both interesting and fun. I'll definitely miss her! I made some wonderful friends along the way while exploring such a fantastic country. This was the most full-on tour I've ever done, with plenty of walking and travelling on public transport, so it is tiring but it was 100% worth it. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the best of Japan.
