What travelers are saying about our local-guided cruise excursions
Great Tour Organizer for First Time in Asia
Excellent experience setting up tours with Japan Shore Excursions. I worked with Lara Nguyen and even though they already have great tour options she worked with me to create custom itineraries so I could get the most out of the big cities where our time was limited. Both guides were flexible with our schedules, allowed us to make changes along the way and were sensitive to our return yo the ship. Would highly recommend them.
Professional, Reliable, and Highly Recommended
We booked Japan Shore Excursions for several stops on our cruise from Singapore through Japan, and they truly exceeded our expectations. The guides were always waiting for us promptly at the port, each itinerary was well thought out.
Our guide in Vietnam was a delight, she managed to fit in more sights and local food experiences than we anticipated. The Taste of Tokyo Tour was another highlight, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide who navigated us seamlessly through a very busy day. In Aomori, Ms. Noriride made our visit memorable and enjoyable, and while in Hakodate, Yoko kept us on schedule with ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms and planned stops.
Overall, I can’t say enough about the quality of their itineraries, the professionalism of their guides, and the excellent support from their home office staff. Highly recommended!
