Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences

Great tour through Java   , WA, Australia, Jul 2024
Great group of travellers and a great guide with Mangun! Good local knowledge and always very organised 😁 Optional Tours were all exceptional and our bus drivers were all friendly and experienced.
Sicily and Its Isles     , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
Collett tour itinerary was excellent Hotel stays were not bad, some bedding was poor quality. Tour bus was horrible, small bus with little comfort, shocking suspension, very rough. Meals were very good. The island of Salina was the best.
Jewels of the Kimberley & Faraway Bay   , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
Great trip, but Outback Spirit need to tailor walks to the tour group demographic, and not try to fit too much into the day. Some walks did not allow for time to stop and gather your breath, or look around, and team leader pushed too hard.
Amazing Classic Japan: Land of the rising Sun tour with Cosmos     , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
I can truly say that this tour was amazing and a perfect length of time. We booked from Cairns Australia to Haneda, Tokyo.
The tour was extremely well organised and ran like clock work. We had a small group of only 12 people and we all got along really well. Our tour guide Naoko-san said this was the smallest group she had ever had. We felt really ...read more lucky as she said some groups can have around 30 people. Every day ran exactly to the itinerary, the Hotel rooms were small but not an issue as we were delighted to return to the room every evening for a clean bed and hot shower. The included meals were of a very high quality and morning breakfast buffets were really fantastic and great value. The cooking of Okonomiyaki, Japanese savoury pancake in Hiroshima was also a definite highlight!

Rachael from Global Journeys booked our tour and she was also really fantastic and replied to emails and phone calls without delay. All of the destinations included in this tour were certainly all of the must see locations to get a comprehensive feel of Japan. From country areas, to large cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto to the more mountainous regions of Fuji san and the lovely canals of Kurashiki. The Tea Ceremony was very serene and traditional and we really enjoyed the experience.

Our tour guide Naoko-san was also very lovely and kind and she tried her very best every day to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying the tour. If you are thinking of booking this tour, from our experience, I would recommend to anyone who would like to experience the most interesting and beautiful landmarks in Japan :)
