Timmoth Drury

Golden Route

Itinerary

The itinerary was fairly well rounded, packing our mornings and early afternoons full of interesting places and activities and giving us enough freetime in the afternoons to pursue personal activities

Lodging

I loved the accomodations this time around! The more premium dormy inns felt more comfortable for multiple people sleeping to a room, and the traditional ryokan was phenomenal!

Food

The restaurants booked for our guided tours felt like real hidden gems that felt like you would never be able to find on your own without some local insight, on top of being delicious

Guides

Yureko-san and KK-san were phenomenal guides! Compared to my previous self-guided trips it felt like we fit so much more into our guided sessions and still didn\'t feel like I was missing anything. Yureko-san even went so far as to help me in searching for new insoles to make the heavy walking more tolerable

Pre-Tour Handbook

I was able to constantly reference back to our itinerary and other documentation if I needed to look at the days ahead. Prior to the tour though there was some confusion as it seemed like only one or two of our tour group members was receiving invoices after payments were being submitted

Tour Organization

Tour Transportation

The VIP Taxi service from the airport was an unexpected but very welcome surprise! (It was on the itinerary but I really wasn\'t expecting the level of service and vehicles that were provided)

Would you go on another tour operating by Samurai Tours: Yes!

Would you recommend Samurai Tours to friends or family: Yes!
