We loved our tour. The group size of 13 was easy to manage. We met great like minded travellers. We were constantly surprised by the quality of the tour inclusions. Suica Card, entry fees, the quality of included lunches and dinners. For us, another night in Hiroshima would have made the tour perfect so we had more time at the Peace Museum. We only got half way through.______________________________________________Thank you so much for your kind comments and high ratings of our tours! The transit system in Japan is truly a marvel and we're so glad you enjoyed yourself while you were there. We do try very hard to make sure our clients are well taken care of during their trips. We hope to travel with you again soon!~ Samurai Tours Staff

Itinerary

This tour was exactly what we were looking for and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have liked extra time in Hiroshima. Weren\'t able to spend enough time in the Peace Museum. An extra night here with some free time would be the ultimate tour.

Lodging

All properties were really good and close to public transport. The ryokans were very enjoyable especially Takayama Uano.

Food

All the buffet breakfasts were very good and plenty of variety. Other lunches and dinners included gave as an opportunity to try different Japanese food.

Guides

All guides were exceptional. Especially Yuriko (Tokyo), Masa (Hiroshima) and Akemi (Kyoto). They were all very knowledgable, well organised, helpful, cheerful and made our holiday memorable.

Pre-Tour Handbook

Good pre tour documentation and information. Very thorough.

Tour Organization

All documentation for the tour was well organised. JR Pass, Suica Card, reserved seats. Even to the point of having someone meet each train and make sure we caught our next train.
