At Exodus, we love adventure travel and always have. Discovering countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts and jungles; more exploring this amazing planet we all live on. We know what makes you tick when it comes to holidays. It’s a desire shared by so many others. A yearning to visit new places and come home with a real sense of what they’re all about.

Japan Discovery
Japan Discovery
Joe and Frances , VIC, Australia, Apr 2026
This was our 9th trip via Global Journeys and once again Georgie did a fantastic job taking care of our tour arrangements. This latest Japan tour with Bunniks was our first with them and we found the care and organisation by our friendly tour guide Eiko to be excellent. The accommodation sites were very convenient to all facilities and were top quality read more hotels. All travelling arrangements throughout our journey, which included 4 bullet train trips, were timely, comfortable and well organised by Eiko.
We enjoyed the many cultural activities which were fun to do with everyone being hands on and enjoying the experiences. The large crowds at some places took a bit off a shine of 1 or 2 particular visits however overall were very happy visiting all the sites on our itinerary. We had a wonderfull small group who mixed well and made our trip enjoyable. Would recommend travelling again with Bunnik.

Best of Japan
Bettina, NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
My first time in Japan and traveling with a group. Our guide Toshi was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is a good tour to get some first impressions of Japan. Despite being advertised as a tour requiring a certain fitness level, we didn’t explore some of the sights that required climbing stairs and took public transport where we could have walked.
Global Journeys was great! Luxury Gold Tour could be improved
Majestic Japan
George T, NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
The communication and attention to detail from Tracey at Golobal Journeys was excellent. If you are expecting the usual European Luxury Gold standard from this tour you will be disappointed. Some hotels were good, but the others were average. While a double bed was clearly requested, most hotels provided 2 single beds. Many people were looking forward read more to the Bullet Train Rides, but this was a huge disappintment, as we were booked in Economy Class with 3 across seating.
We had to draw lots to see who got the worst seats. While First Class was available for a small extra charge, Luxury Gold thaught this Economy Class Cabin was the way to "Travel in Style". Our guide stated that she had previously requested that First Class seats be provided, but this request has been ignored. We have previously travelled with Luxury Gold in fast trains in Europe and it was always in the highest available class cabin.
Don't expect the usual 40 seat coach with extra leg room. These coaches were poor quality with cramped seats with very little leg room. They even had jump seats in each row (Not used).
There are 3 nights in Sendai where your normal bags are not available. You are expected to carry an overnight bag on the Train. They could very easily send the bags seperately as done previously, but this is another place where they cut corners. The type of people who book Luxury Gold Tours are not Backpackers. They need the comfort of having all their luggage when it is a 3 night stay.
This tour is a Black Mark for Luxury Gold, and is a great disappointment compared to the wonderful tours we have previously done with Luxury Gold.

Japan trip was great
Highlights of Japan
Anna and Dan, ME, United States, Mar 2026
The highlights of Japan trip was a great one led by our fantastic tour guide, Donni. We got to walk around Tokyo, Nagano, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Kyoto. Got > 5000 steps in each day. Cherry blossoms were blooming and we were welcomed kindly by everyone we met. Thank you.
The Bunnik Japan Discovery tour is a great tour especially if it is your first time to Japan. We visited a lot of interesting cities by both bus and bullet train . The cherry blossoms were in full bloom ( end of March beginning of April.). The tour included a lot of cultural experience which gave us a better understanding and insight into Japanese history read more and way of life. The small group number made it easier to get around the tourist sights and maximise our time sightseeing. I can recommend this tour for those who are prepared to do some walking . It is however a tour that is well paced so as not to be too difficult .
Fantastic Majestic Mekong Cruise
Majestic Mekong Cruise
Michael, WA, Australia, Mar 2026
We have just completed the Majestic Mekong River cruise and below is my feedback. Once again Travelmarel have exceeded our expectations and please pass on my feedback to the fabulous onboard team. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia along the beautiful Mekong river on the RV Amalotus.There were lots of opportunities to read more site see on set tours or to do what one wished. We love that flexibility, as after all it’s our trip to enjoy! The onboard staff were amazing to deal with, with nothing ever being a problem. And I won’t even talk about the food as there was so much choice of excellent quality and quantity. Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip.
Our TD, Tim Thinh Dinh was brilliant. Very professional, nothing was too much trouble for him and always a simile on his face. Tim is an excellent representative for the APT / Travelmarel Brand in Vietnam and goes over and above to ensure all guests get to have an amazing journey on the ever-changing Mekong River. Hotel Manager Johnny also provided outstanding service and was well supported by an excellent and extremely professional onboard Team. Johnny's attention to detail and customer focus was a real strength. The local guides were also good. Extremely knowledgeable and great sense's of humour. We look forward to many more journeys with APT / Travelmarel. Thank you, and thanks Hannah for yet another well organised holiday.
