What our clients are saying about their journeys through Asia
Japan Highlights Best of Japan , 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 , 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 , 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.
A fun small group tour of Japan   Japan Discovery , NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
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 , 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.
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.
