Did the 13-day Japan tour with Dan as my leader and I’ve literally had the BEST 2 weeks ever.
Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish, which made the whole trip completely stress free.

The itinerary was perfectly balanced, a great mix of sightseeing, cultural experiences, activities, free time, and fun nights out. So many of the experiences we had are things I never would have been able to organize if I would have travelled to Japan on my own.

Dan did an amazing job creating such a fun time for everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. He was so knowledgeable about Japan and I felt like we got to experience the real magic of Japan (not just the touristic places) and without having to worry about any of the logistics. Couldn’t recommend this trip more highly! 100% book this trip!!!

Travelled around Japan for 17 days with Intro and was fantastic! Our guide Charlie was very informative while taking us around the sites and helped with my Shinkansen ticket back to Tokyo. Highly recommend for future holiday packages with this group. The hostels were very trendy and central to everything required from food shopping, restaurants and landmarks. Will be booking again with intro travels and hopefully have Charlie as a guide again in the near future. I would like to wish Charlie all the best for his touring and positive energy throughout the 17 days away, it is memories to cherish for years to come.

What a trip! Highly recommend the perfect balance between seeing japan and down time to do your own thing everything brilliantly planed out and organised and a shout out to our trip leader Charlie what a guy and a great laugh and very knowledgeable on all the sites.

Had a brilliant time in Japan and our leader Charlie was fantastic! Would recommend this trip to anyone!

had the pleasure of having Meg as our tour guide during our trip to Japan, and she truly made the experience unforgettable. Meg’s knowledge of Japan’s history, culture, and hidden gems was remarkable. She brought each location to life with engaging stories and insights that you wouldn’t find in any guidebook. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she went out of her way to ensure everyone in the group was comfortable and had a great time. Whether it was helping us navigate the bustling streets of Tokyo or guiding us through the serene temples of Kyoto, Meg was always attentive and patient. If you’re looking for a tour guide in Japan who is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, I highly recommend Meg!

Did the Japan adventure tour and loved everything about it. The itinerary was great with so much to do and see. Got to do and see so many more things then if I were to plan a trip to Japan on my own.
Our group leader Yoni was awesome and made the whole trip stress free. He had plenty of knowledge of all the places we visited, was charismatic, and generally an extremely pleasant person to be around. We were in the typoon that hit Japan so a day of our adventure got affected but Yoni stepped up and made sure we were safe and planned extra things for us to make up for it.

First, itinerary was great. In just 13 days, we got a taste of several key cities and a few nights in beautiful mountain towns. Tokyo was electrical, Nagano totally chill, and Kyoto just right. I don’t know enough about Japan do suggest other places, although it might have been fun to extend the trip by a couple days to pick up a beach.

Second, we had a terrific leader. Yoni took care of us on our tours, and gave great tips for our open days, when we went off on our own.

Best of all, I loved our group. 12 interesting people from pretty different backgrounds not only got along from the start, but we became pretty good friends

14 strangers walk in to a hostel in Tokyo...sounds like the start to a terrible joke, right? Well, it's actually that start of a one of the most memorable stories I'm never going to get sick of telling.

This story starts out with city skylines, peaceful parks and karaoke chaos (all in the first few days!!). We are then treated to serene settings in the mountains where the only worry is if you'll be lucky enough to catch a glimps of the snow monkeys. At this stage, 14 strangers are now creating close friendships, which is helpful when you're sharing an onsen together. Half way through this story, you could be fooled by thinking its reaching its peak when you get sight of the top of Mt.Fuji but you're destined for higher things! It's plain sailing through to the best bbq and most quiant castle you could ask for. We've now matured from monkeying around in the hills at the beginning of our trip (who'd have thought?) to meditating like monks. Being blessed with bamboo surroundings and then gazing at the golden pavilion seem like something other worldly, yet there we were. And what a way to end this story than with special samurai session where you have to completely trust your new friends to hit the target and nothing in-between.

So, if you're looking for a sign to book the intro Japan trip, this is it. Your story might start off a little different to mine but by the end I'm sure you'll go home with a smile on your face, friends and memories you'll cherish for a lifetime. And, if you're lucky enough to get Michelle or Yoni as your leader you're in for an extra special story!
