"The tour was a step into the culture of Japan and history but also touched much of the important larger cities and shrines. Tour director gave many one to one answers to all their questions. I would recommend however, that seats on the bus be rotated daily so that everyone gets prime seats."

What travelers are saying

"Our Explore Leader was excellent . His local knowledge combined with his rapport with the Group helped to make this a holiday to remember. His suggestions and recommendations outside the organised itinerary were extremely helpful and helping us to understand the protocols, the rules and the culture was great. My only criticism of the tour relates to the free day in Tokyo - the brochure perhaps leads the the traveller towards the long day to see Mt Fuji … We chose not to do this trip and instead spent a wonderful day in Tokyo. Based on the feedback of others who did the trip I would suggest a more balanced set of suggested options in the itinerary write up would be helpful Overall a great trip and thoroughly recommend"

What travelers are saying

"I went on the Intrepid 15 day "Best of Morocco" tour in 2025 and had such an amazing time that I wasn't ready to leave by the time the trip finished! It exceeded my expectations in so many ways: value for money, itinerary, a lot of included activities balanced with lots of rest stops on longer travel days, very caring & attentive local guides, and lots of optional activities. As a company, Intrepid was very easy to communicate with before the trip started (I had sent a few questions about optional activities). The website is also easy to navigate and simple for updating travel & health information. If you are considering doing a tour with Intrepid - make sure you read the Essential Trip Information they have on each tour page. It describes everything in detail so you'll know what to expect. While I LOVED my tour, I can see some people signing up for this without reading the description and then being surprised at some of the 2 star hotels (in this case it was the "Original" tour style). Overall, I am impressed at how this tour managed to simultaneously get us closer to Moroccan culture AND feel like an adventure AND feel like a vacation from day-to-day life back home. I would travel with Intrepid again."
