What travelers are saying

"My wife & I are Australians and have been to Asia many times but not to Japan. We had heard good things, so we jumped on to an Intrepid trip in April, 2025. Our Guide was Shizuka Yoshimura who, while being born in Japan, was a well-travelled, knowledgeable and enthusiastic woman who was fun to be with and proved very capable in leading 9 of us, aged between about 30 years of age to mid-70's, from 4 nations around her own country. Shizuka was very fluent in English which was brilliant. Experience counts, both in the present, coping with transport & other issues which always arise, and in the planning and communicating the next stage of the tour with the group. Shizuka adapted to both the more able-bodied and the less physically able with care and good grace, always making sure that all members of the party were happy and comfortable with decisions regarding , e.g. whether or not to climb a few hundred steps to see a castle, shrine, etc. Everyone was always looked after and meeting points along the way were well spelled out, so no one felt abandoned in any way. Our accommodation was as advertised, so in the case of staying at Hacone in a traditional style (with really low beds and no seating above floor level), Shizuka arranged for standard kitchen chairs to be placed in our room which was great - it's always the little things that matter. Our trip was based on traveling most of the way by Shinkansen (bullet trains) and sometimes the ticketing was not straight-forward, but it was well explained all of the time and Shizuka's planning smoothed out the bumps every time. Shizuka's "local knowledge", being Japanese, assisted our group many times along the way when things may not have been going according to plan and we always felt looked after and confident that "The Boss" would quickly resolve any hiccups. Equally, Shizuka often gave us our own space and when a group dinner was not a part of the agenda we sometimes shared meals with her apart from the group or vice-versa - there was a good, relaxed feeling in the group that we were our own mature travellers as well as being a part of the group. Look, I know that things can go wrong whether you are hiking out in the bush or traveling at 300 kp/h, but in our experience our Guide Shizuka was very well equipped personally to adapt and overcome, and we had a beaut trip. Highly recommended."

What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

"Be prepared for a lot of travelling, some days for up to six hours but comfort breaks are built in and relevant videos are played on the coach. Some accommodation is better than others but all was clean and comfortable. We saw and experienced lots of things we would have missed had we arranged the trip ourselves. The tour director and driver were excellent and very helpful and knowledgeable."

  • Prioritize safety by ensuring the tour operator adheres to strict safety standards and provides adequate insurance coverage.

  • Consider the environmental impact of your tour and choose operators committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices.

  • Research the local cuisine and be adventurous with your food choices to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

  • Pack light and smart, focusing on versatile clothing and essential items to stay comfortable during the tour.

  • Take advantage of local guides' knowledge and expertise to gain deeper insights into the destinations you visit.

  • Stay flexible and open-minded to unexpected changes or opportunities that may arise during your escorted tour.

  • Make and capture memories with photos, but also disconnect from technology for some time and fully appreciate the present moment.

Finally, embrace the spirit of adventure, knowing that each authentic experience will enrich your life in its own way.
