Discovering Japan at my own pace
I opted for independent travel in Japan with an old friend, in November 2024, rather than group travel. Our experience with AudleyTravel- UK was simply 5 star! Right from the time we started planning the details of the trip, like where to go, and how long to stay in each place, to the many journeys by train across vast areas of Japan for 3 weeks - it was totally smooth and certainly without any stresses or confusion, despite not knowing a word of Japanese. The journey was very well planned. All our reservations in hotels were very good and the hotels were central in the cities and towns we visited. All our train tickets for our numerous journeys and even a pocket wi-fi, were handed to us on arrival at the airport. The detailed daily travel instructions , were extremely helpful and informative. We could either use our fantastic printed and beautifully filed instructions, or we could just get it all online. Access to Audley's local partners in Japan was also very easy. When we had a mix-up with the type of room given in one hotel, the issue was resolved very satisfactorily in less than 10 minutes by Audley's local partners. The suggestions given by my agent to visit places in Japan were also excellent - she obviously listened to my interests and preferences carefully . The local guides booked by Audley Travel, were very knowledgeable and helpful, and we saved lots of time as a result and saw and learnt much more with their help then we would have done without a guide. I was very impressed with the high standards of service I experienced from Audley Travel - UK and in Japan.
