Wonderful easy-going experience
I travelled with my whole family to Japan during the summer of 2025. It was 21 of in total and we took a cruise, but we booked all our on-shore excursions with Japan Shore Excursions and we had a wonderful experience with them . All of our tours were very nicely curated.
Lovely Excursion
Lara arranged a lively excursion for my group of three couples in Kyoto. A van met us at our cruise ship (much appreciated). The van was spotless and the driver kept us safe. Our guide was fabulous. She listened to our needs (bathroom breaks, lunch, water) and took us to interesting sights. The money for this excursion was well spent.
