Not long back from the 12 day Sri Lanka the company tour and its safe to say that its an absolute trip of a lifetime.
The tour has it all: culture, amazing food, luxury accommodation, fun activities and, as promised, Ive made new fri..ends for life.
There was countless breathtaking moments (side note: you might cry with happiness on the sunrise safari) but the highlight for me was visiting the Buddhist monastery. Its an absolute privilege and not something youre going to be able to do as a generic tourist attraction, so I am so thankful to the company for the unique experience.
However, none of the above would have been possible without our incredible Group Leader Ash and knowledgable Local Guide Prasad. Both were so friendly, approachable and knew how to have a good time ª thanking my lucky stars that I got to spend the best two weeks with them!
Thank you the company and the team - I am SO excited for the Japan trip now!!Read full review
I didnt know what to expect when joining the tour as it was my first tour. Now Ive done it, it was definitely the right decision and a great the companyduction to Japan. the company have done a super job getting a balance between culture, a..ctivities, food, meeting locals and FREE TIME! Free time was very important for me as there were things I wanted to see on my own in certain cities and this tour allows that as well as doing group activities.
We also done things which I would of never done myself if I travelled Japan such as seeing the Snow Monkeys and Sushi Making class which ended up being my highlights!
I will definitely be travelling with the company again and thank you for giving me a holiday of lifetime!Read full review
Two trips completed, one more already booked and hopefully lots more to still book! the companyTravel is my go-to way to travel. Not only does it take away all of the complexities of finding great accommodation and booking transport but the..y even give you a detailed guide of what to pack, best types of bag to use and what jabs/visa you need to think about beforehand. Having done the Vietnam and Bali trips I can say that I genuinely loved both of them. Not only are there a great mix of people you meet in the group, you also have the BEST guides - shout out to Adele (Bali) and Nathan (Vietnam) for both being brilliant!! Not only were the tour guides the mum/dad of the group making sure you dont miss the coach/train/ferry but they have also both became good friends of mine now even 1yr+ after each trip. The accommodation is great, the food is fantastic, the experiences you have will stay with you forever. But it really is the tour guides that take these trips from being great to truly amazing! I cant wait to visit Japan next April!Read full review
I have been on the company trips to Thailand, Japan, Bali and Sri Lanka - all have been absolutely incredible. The leaders have been knowledgable, super fun and are an asset to the company. The accomodation is stunning (I did experience tri..ps, apart from Japan but the accomodation was still amazing!), you get lots included and see a lot in a short space of time. I have recommended the company to countless friends who have also used the company and loved it as much as I have! I cant wait to go on another tour with them.Read full review
After doing Thailand with the company in 2017 and wanting to do a tour in Japan, I knew there was only one company who I would want to tour Japan with and that was the company. They didnt let me down and surpassed my expectations AGAIN.
..
Doing my research on Japan, there were a few things I really wanted to see which the tour included such as going to Osaka and exploring the highlights in Tokyo, however, once again the company have a way of including places, activities, sights that I would of never done myself and Im grateful theyve included in the tour! Going to a Sushi Making class and learning about buddhism in Koyan are a couple of the many things I wouldnt have done and Im glad Ive done.
Personal highlights of mine would include seeing the snow monkeys in Nagano which was incredible and the samurai class where I got to cut a tatami mat with a 400 year old samurai sword whilst learning about the samurai!!
The tour is a great mix of places and the way our time is arranged daily. We get to experience a blend of the buzzing, lit up cities of Osaka and Tokyo to the natural sides of Japan in Nagano and Japans spirituality in Koyasan. the company have also definitely thought about maximising our time in places by providing a great mix of free time with recommendations and activities.
Finally just want to thank Nathan for adding to my experience with the company and Japan!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Read full review
My trip to Japan was one of the best things Ive done in my life!!! And its all down to the trip from the company. I was nervous about travelling around what I thought was an intimidating county with language barriers etc but choosing to go ..with the company made things so much easier and put my mind at ease. If you are unsure about travelling with the company then honestly, just trust me, you want regret it! From the second I met Nathan our leader I felt more relaxed. And to make things better I met some amazing people on the trip who Im now BFFs with!! The trip itself was awesome and you get to see and do so much. Its so organised and I had been recommended the company because of their trips ease but theres nothing like experiencing it first hand. They have everything covered to make the trip as stress free for you as possible. And Im sure I wouldnt have seen or done half the things we did if I wasnt on the the company Tour. My special memories include Tokyo temples, the awesome piss alley with my new friends (we had the best night). The Snow monkeys in Shibu and also the Samurai experience in Kyoto. AND the hilarious karaoke in Osaka. I loved it all!!! Thanks Nathan and the company and I cant wait to get on the Sri Lanka trip ASAP!Read full review

This is my third the company tour, and it just never disappoints. Always have the best time!
Adam and Nathan were amazing tour leaders, making everything run smoothly, as well as being very knowledgable and keeping the group together. ..
I loved every part of it, we visited the best of Japans cities, including Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, but my favorite was definitely being up in the mountains seeing the monkeys in Nagano! The sushi making class was also a lot of fun!
This trip was amazing, and definitely my fav the company tour so far. Cant wait for my nextRead full review
Had a great time in Japan on the 13 day tour. Great balance between activities and free time. Nathan was very helpful and upbeat. Would definitely recommend this tour to people looking to experience the culture and cuisine across Japan.
Big thanks to Adam for being such a fantastic group leader, and making sure none of us got lost around Japan! (His enthusiasm and knowledge of all the ins-and-outs of Japan definitely made up for his lack of dance skills). Loved seeing the ..snow monkeys in Nagano, exploring all the big cities and the food was 11/10. Would highly recommend the company! :)Read full review
Japan the company was amazing, we had the best time up in the mountains sleeping in a traditional Japanese inn and spending the day seeing the snow monkeys in the hot springs. I loved the samurai class it was a great way to end the trip and.. so much fun. We ate some great food and got the chance to see some amazing areas in Japan, the trip was so well organised and completely stress free with great daily activities and we always had lovely accommodation to come back to at the end of the day. Thank you the company and thank you Adam for all your hard work and making Japan an amazing trip.Read full review
I visited Japan on the the company Japan Adventure for 13 days. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience both the modern and ancient Japanese culture and history. The tour had just the right level of learning, ..culture, history and fun activities to do. Sammy (our tour leader) was incredibly helpful and so much fun. It felt like I was travelling with another friend rather than a tour leader as such. We managed to see a huge amount of Japan in such a short amount of time, and for that I am exceptionally thankful. We also managed to have more than a few nights out along the way!
I can not recommend this tour enough for those of you who want to experience all Japan has to offer, whilst having everything managed for you, so you dont have to worry about a thing other than having fun and enjoying yourself!
Also, a special thanks to Sammy for helping me with all my onward travel for the extra week I am spending in Japan on my own! She has made my life so much easier!Read full review
LISTEN if youre even considering doing a tour with them just do it because it was a FABULOUS EXPERIENCE! I just did the the company japan tour and I had a whole entire BLAST and cant believe that I got everything for the very very reasonabl..e amount of money it cost. I made lovely friends and the group leader Nathan is simply the GOAT. Dont let that go to your head Nathan if you read this.Read full review
