Guide
ใปFully Escorted: You will be escorted by our friendly English- speaking tour leader who will travel with you from Day 1 to 13. On day 13, your tour leader will say goodbye as you travel to the airport or onwards in Japan solo. ใปSemi Escorted (Groups of 1 โ 5): If we do not have the minimum numbers to run the tour with a tour leader throughout, donโt worry! We never cancel our scheduled tour dates. Instead of having a full-time tour leader, you will be met in each area by our local assistants on days you donโt have private guides. So you will be given a very private style tour โ with no change to the cost!
