Japan Costsaver   , Qld, Australia, Jul 2024
We totally enjoyed our group tour with Costsaver. Absolutely loved Japan and our guide Mayomi wa excellent. Loved Japan so much that we are going back!
Japan Discovery     , QLD, Australia, Jun 2024
Sam from Global Journeys did a great job to find a tour that included all of our "bucket list" items and fitted with our other travel plans. His attention to detail, helpful advice and timely communication was first class. Although not our first choice due to last minute booking Costsaver provided all of the elements of a first visit to Japan we were ...read more looking for. Keiko the Tour Director carried her role perfectly. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the history, culture and geography and she provided a great insight into modern versus ancient Japan. All of the "Choice Experiences" complemented the tour and proved worthwhile. One disappointment that comes to mind was the choice of coach for the latter part of the Journey - It was less spacious and had no wi-fi compared with the coach provided in Tokyo. No complaints about either driver - they were very capable and courteous. Hotel accommodation was adequate.
Great experience in Japan   , VIC, Australia, Jun 2024
We did a 12-day trip into Japan as part of the CostSaver experience and had a really great time overall visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji, and Osaka. We found the tour guide to be knowledgeable in the country and in their ability to speak English and help solve problems. The itinerary was pretty packed and we were really tired most nights, ...read more but that's okay. My wife said, "We can sleep when we're dead," as we really tried to maximize our time in country. We got to see a huge swath of the country, try a lot of foods, and have a number of diverse experiences. While we enjoyed some aspects of the tour more than others, there wasn't a single part that we disliked. We took part in the majority of the optional packages, and they were good value for money. We would completely recommend the tour for couples and families with older children (teenagers).
Beautiful Japan     , QLD, Australia, May 2024
Beautiful is the first thought that comes to mind as I recall our time spent in Japan. From the Japanese people to the countryside, the culture, food, gardens and everything in between. Trafalgar looked after us well, with the amazing Yama as our tour director. She worked so hard to make sure everyone needs were met. We travelled with a great bunch ...read more of people and had lots of fun along the way. A couple of the meal experiences could have been explained better but other than that no complaints. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone seeking an overall experience of what Japan can offer. Georgie was very helpful with organising the trip.
