What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences
Spectacular Sri Lanka   Sri Lankan Discovery , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
Thanks once again to Global Journeys, and in particular to Hannah and Georgie, for a wonderful experience in Sri Lanka. This was our first tour with Bunnik Tours and it wont be our last. The small group meant that the everyone got on so well and there was lots of room to spread out on the bus. The Sri Lankan Discovery tour was so comprehensive and read more was a packed full two weeks. The wild life reserves were a highlight (Elephants and even a Leopard) along with our climb to the top of Sigiriya (Lion Rock). All of the Hotels were of high standard and the food was wonderful. Thanks once again.
Hassle free holiday, great booking experience as well as a wonderful tour Japan Discovery , WA, Australia, Mar 2026
What an amazing holiday we had, seamlessly arranged by Hannah from Global Journeys, she is always a pleasure to deal with, prompt and professional. We loved our Japan Discovery tour with Bunnik, it was our first time travelling with them and we were very impressed. Everything was well planned, accomodation was great and we were so lucky with the weather.
Great read more views of Mt Fuji and the cherry blossoms were a highlight, we also loved the mix of planned activities and free time. We loved the small group of 15 and our tour director Takee was amazing, great communication, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. We would definitely use both Global Journeys and Bunnik Tours again.
Simply Japan. So much Fun!!   Simply Japan , OK, United States, Mar 2026
We had a great time. We loved having a small group. Everyone got along great. We had a young guide. He was great. The accommodations were so nice. We experienced the true Japanese culture, plus a lot of Western culture. Japan is a lot different from America.

We enjoyed the places we went. The history was so interesting. The sights were beautiful. read more The Cherry blossoms were in bloom!! They are beautiful! The food was amazing. We really enjoyed the tea ceremony. I will say we did not need to see all the temples and shrines. We went to too many. I am sure there was something else we could have gone to. Otherwise, we had a great experience..
