Why travel with intrepid.
Bucket list itineraries
Sure, you can travel to India to see the Taj Mahal, but we like to share a laugh with a local chai wallah in the market while we’re at it. Our trips include loads of big-ticket attractions as well as plenty of unique and unexpected experiences you can only have with a local guide.
Legendary leaders
The best folks to show you around are the ones who live there. Our local leaders know these destinations like an old friend, so get ready to eat at the best street food joints, get to know the culture in depth and experience things you wouldn’t be able to on your own.
Creating positive change
We're on a mission to create positive change through the joy of travel. That’s why all our trips are carbon offset, and we give back to the communities we visit with the help of The Intrepid Foundation. When you travel with us, you travel with purpose.
Small groups
With an average group size of 10 people, our groups are big enough to create a good vibe but small enough to blend in with the locals. Whether you’re travelling solo or with mates, you’ll really get to know your group and will never be stuck for someone to grab a drink with.
Great value
Want big-time experiences without the big-time price tag? Our 18 to 35s travel style means staying in simple, well-located accommodation, taking local transport and enjoying tasty local food. This way, you choose where your spending money goes.
We’re committed to ensuring our trips are safe for everyone, including our travellers, our leaders, our crew and the people we visit along the way. That’s why we’re always up to date with world events and changes. Rest easy – you’ll be well taken care of.
Highlights of our 18 to 35s trips
Venture through Vietnam
From the old-world streets of Hanoi to the bustling Ho Chi Minh City – and all the temples, motorbikes and banh mi in between – adventures await in Vietnam. On this epic 11-day adventure from north to south, we’ll get you chomping and slurping pho-nomenal food, kayaking around Cat Ba island (away from the tourists), cycling through ride paddies and crossing hectic Vietnamese roads like a local in no time.
Munch your way through Mexico
Discover the real Mexico on an overland adventure from the sprawling metropolis of Mexico City to the white sand beaches and underground caverns of Playa del Carmen. Fill your belly with regional specialties in the foodie capital of Oaxaca (think everything from spicy mole to lime grasshoppers), uncover Mayan mysteries at Chichen Itza and swim in the dreamy Agua Azul waterfall.
Dive into India
Tick off the highlights of two iconic South Asian countries as you travel from lively Delhi to the patchouli-scented Kathmandu. Fall in love with the Taj Mahal, sail along the Ganges in the holy city of Varanasi, search for rhinos on a Chitwan Jungle safari and explore the remarkable Amber Fort in Jaipur – all that (and then some) in just 13 days.
See the best bits of Bali
There’s more to Bali than beaches and Bintang – though there'll be plenty of time to kick back with a cold one. Experience the highlights and hidden gems of Bali as you visit holy water temples, hike up the iconic Mt Batur volcano for sunrise, snorkel with sea turtles and dance in the golden hour glow of Seminyak's snazzy beach clubs.
Journey into Morocco
Get an authentic taste of Morocco as you travel through the High Atlas Mountains, the cultural capital of Fes and the chaotic medinas of Marrakesh. Sleep under the stars in a desert camp in the Sahara, meet nomadic shepherds at a traditional Berber village and learn the ancient art of mint tea making at a community-run teahouse that supports local women.
Discover the heart of Europe
Ticking off European favorites including Berlin, Krakow, Prague and Budapest, this is the Central Europe trip you’ve dreamed about. Enjoy dinners in busy medieval squares, explore stunning hilltop castles and sleep in ridiculously Instagrammable towns that look like they belong in a fairy tale.
18 to 35s trip reviews
Is every trip guaranteed to run.
Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid customer, unless the minimum group size listed in the Essential Trip Information and/or Special Conditions state otherwise.
Do you cater for food allergies/dietary requirements?
We’ll try our very hardest to accommodate all dietary requirements, but it can be difficult to guarantee in some out-of-the-way places. We'll let you know if there are places on your itinerary where this is the case. Please let us know your dietary requirements at the time of booking and we’ll pass the information on to your leader.
What’s the standard of accommodation on an 18 to35s trip?
You’ll be staying in simple, well-located accommodation with shared amenities, though it's common for rooms to be ensuite. Rooming is organized on a twin-share basis. We pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports.
If your gender identity differs from what is indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. If you'd like your own space, most of our trips also have the option to pay a fee for an individual room.
Will the accommodation have wi-fi?
Most hotels, cafes and bars have wi-fi, especially in big cities and towns. In remote places (like the Sahara and the Amazon Rainforest) or on treks or homestays, you won’t be able to access Wi-Fi or mobile data as easily. Your leader will give you a heads-up beforehand so you can call home or send a quick WhatsApp.
Your leader can also help you buy a local SIM card if you'd like to stay connected.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance?
You sure do. Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Your leader will take down your insurance details on the first day in case they are needed during the trip, so make sure to bring your policy documents.
Learn more about travel insurance .
Do I need any travel vaccinations?

Meet our local leaders
"When you travel with me we'll be hanging out with the locals, tucking into the best street food and trying to master Vietnamese pronunciation (FYI, it's hard!). Whatever we do, we'll laugh a lot and make amazing memories together. Pack your best smile and count on me for the rest – I'll be your local buddy."
- Nhi Pham, Vietnam
“It will be a pleasure to share our traditions and beliefs, take you to the most amazing sites and, most importantly, interact with the locals! Get ready for a behind-the-scenes tour where we’ll visit hole-in-the-wall restaurants and find the best picarones (Andean doughnuts) *chef’s kiss. I’ll be waiting for you here, in my beloved Peru.
- Paul Garrido, Peru
"You might come to Vietnam for the beautiful scenery, but you'll stay for the friendly people! I love introducing travellers to locals and having a chit-chat, going on spontaneous walks to explore the hidden spots and sharing stories to keep our beautiful culture alive."
- Huyen Nguyen, Vietnam

The art of backpacking & adventures to get out of your comfort zone – tips and advice, 5 best group tour companies for young solo single travelers.
Last Updated on February 19, 2024 by Talita
Traveling alone is wonderful, but it can also be intimidating. Especially if your destination has a language or a culture completely different from your own.
And sometimes, making friends while traveling can be difficult and many worry about getting lonely. So, a good option for anyone who wants to begin adventuring around the world on their own is to use a tour excursion company that specializes in trips for young adults.
Of course, traveling is always about visiting a place and seeing new things, but one of the highlights is often meeting new people along the way. This is what is called social traveling .

Is it worth going on a group tour as a young solo/single traveler?
As with all types of travel, there are pros and cons to going with a tour company, especially with companies specialized in tours for young travelers since many include lots of partying and going out and daily bonding with the same group. So, it’s possible that this isn’t the right choice for you.
(PS: still a young adult traveler who is interested in group tours but not the party aspect of them? See tour companies # 3 & #4 below or see my article with the 5 Best Small Group Tour Companies for International Travel for some more options)
So it’s important to know some things beforehand about this type of trip so you can decide for yourself if it’s your style or not.
What are travel groups for young solo/single travelers like?
How to choose a tour company for young single/solo travelers
To help you choose an excursion that works for you and fits your travel type, we’ll separate out the companies that specialize in guided trips for young single/solo travelers with the best reputations (and prices) on the market here, including a comparison table.
It’s also worth remembering that some of these companies offer guided tours beyond those just for young adults. So no matter what, you should be able to find one a tour that works best with your personality, your wallet, and your patience.

5 Best Tour Companies for Young Solo/Single Travelers
Contiki is the most well-known tour company for young travelers worldwide. It’s been around since 1962, so its name carries quite a lot of weight.
But don’t worry if this sounds a bit intense for you…the options below are a bit more “calm.”
So, as you can imagine, most of Contiki’s excursions involve lots of partying and going out with “pub crawl” kind of nights. And since there’s plenty of cool stories online of young travelers who traveled and would travel again with Contiki, it must be one of the best companies available if this is the type of travel you’re looking for.
Contiki has more than 328 distinct tours for many destinations across the 6 continents. According to their website, 55% of travelers who chose Contiki are single and are traveling alone, but the trips can also accommodate groups of friends and couples.
One thing to keep in mind is that the groups are usually quite big, around 30 people, and the main form of travel is the company’s coach bus.
Finally, their tours have a bit of everything: physical activities , exploration of local culture and food, and visits to ethical and sustainable organizations and projects in your destination. In other words, you are capable of a journey full of different attractions, sounds, and experiences!
Topdeck is a company that offers“epic trips and tours for young adventurers aged 18-39.”With 40 years of experience, alongside Contiki, Topdeck is one of the most well-known companies in terms of group travel for young solo/single travelers.
Their trips are divided into several categories:
- Hotel tours: designed for couples or singles who want to travel a bit more comfortably through Europe, the U.S., Canada, or Asia. All hotels have, at least, 3 stars and the excursions give you a lot of free time to relax or explore on your own.
- Explorer trips: these are shorter trips, between 6 days and 3 weeks, with just one country for those who want to explore local culture more deeply. The groups are small and accommodation is in shared or private hotel rooms.
- Hostel plus trip: low-cost tours with accommodation in hostels , cabins, or vans and with itineraries with multiple destinations/countries.
- Camping trips: these trips are the cheapest way to travel through Europe with Topdeck. The accommodation is camping with private chefs cooking meals daily. The bunks are for two people and include mattresses.
- Sailing trips: these trips are an awesome option for anyone who dreams of sailing the world but doesn’t have an idea of where to start. Accommodation is within a sailboat in double, triple, or quadruple rooms with meals included.
- Festivals and events: these tours are specifically for events like Oktoberfest or the Sziget festival (in Hungary) and other festivals in the United States, Canada, and Europe .
- Ski trips: these trips are perfect for anyone who loves snow and skiing . With destinations in Canada, New Zealand, Bulgaria, and Japan . Accommodation is in private or shared hotel rooms.
- Gap year: this trip is made for young travelers 17-18 who want to travel in Europe after graduating high school. It’s a great idea for anyone who wants to travel on their own without freaking their parents out. Accommodation is in hostels and the destinations usually include 8-10 countries.
Created in 1990, G Adventures was born with the idea of offering authentic adventures responsibly and sustainably. Their excursions have reasonable prices and cover all the continents, including Antarctica!
The groups are small and the itineraries are designed so you have time to explore on your own. The trips are themed and have different options for all ages, including a category for young travelers aged 18-39.
The trips in this category are faster-paced and designed for young travelers. In other words, you explore during the day and stay up at night. Their motto for these excursions is “live fast now.” So, their trips are usually longer than the others and offer more activities.
Plus, this category of travel groups is a bit more affordable with accommodation in hostels and a few meals included to guarantee a cheaper price. You can read more about these trips here .
Or, just click in the link above, go to G Adventures main page, click “Travel Styles” and select “18-to-Thirtysomethings!”
It’s worth remembering that these trips follow the basic principles of G Adventures: small groups and free time. Plus, the trips are done in a responsible and sustainable way, prioritizing small businesses and the welfare of animals, children, and indigenous communities.
And finally, like Intrepid, G Adventures is a partner of Planeterra, an NGO dedicated to ensuring that communities touched by tourism benefit from it, rather than be exploited by it. The organization helps to empower local populations, preserve their cultures, and create support systems by managing 50 organizations across the 7 continents with the aim of benefiting women, at-risk youth, and indigenous and rural communities. You can read more about Planeterra here .
Intrepid is considered by many to be one of the best options for those who want to travel as part of an excursion with small, adventure-focused groups .
All trips offered by Intrepid are sustainable, and because of this Intrepid is known and respected as the global leader in sustainable travel.
The company has zeroed its carbon footprint and supports the Intrepid Foundation, a foundation that finances the planting of trees worldwide creates jobs and local education, and helps the world achieve 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. You can read more about the foundation at https://www.theintrepidfoundation.org/.
Intrepid has many types of trips for all budgets and personalities. That said, the company prides itself in organizing small groups of up to 10 people. This is because Intrepid believes that this is the maximum number of people that still allows a true connection with locals without you simply feeling like just a face in the group. The trips are also always designed to give you some time to explore on your own.
The trips made for young travelers aged 18-29 (called their “18 to 29s” trips) are designed specifically for the new generation of socially-conscious explorers. In other words, they were created for travelers who want to discover new places and cultures, make new friends , and also make a difference in the world.
There are many destinations and the cost of the trips are relatively low given that they are designed for young travelers. You can see all of Intrepid’s tour options here .
Unlike the other companies mentioned above, Trek American only offers excursions for North and Central America. And in general their tours are quite small, just 13 people, with the exception of their “plus” tours of up to 30 people.
Trek America is also quite well-known and has been running since 1972. Like Contiki, the tours are exclusively for young travelers aged 18-38 and include itineraries of 3 days to 3 months.
The reputation of Trek America is that they offer experiences which change your life with a balance between visiting big cities, national parks, and other activities that explore the most incredible places in North and Central America.
And, unlike Contiki, Trek America trips don’t include the “pub crawl” culture. So if you are a young traveler who is more interested in exploring and making new experiences instead of partying, Trek America might be good for you.
They have 3 types of tours:
- Original tours: small group tours with the aim of having an authentic “ road trip ,” with cheap accommodation that includes hostels, camping, and budget hotels. The groups have 10-13 people, which gives you a bit more flexibility in the itinerary.
- Plus tours: offered just to explore North America, these tours offer more comfort, primarily when it comes to accommodation, and you’ll stay in hotels, eco resorts, and apartments. Plus, breakfast is included as is more activities than the original tours. The only “con” is that the groups are usually bigger (up to 30 people).
- BOLT tours: offered exclusively for Central America with a combination of private transportation and local transportation. The groups are 12-18 people with accommodation in hotels and with a bit more flexibility, meaning the most famous tourist spots will be included, but you’ll still have lots of free time to explore on your own.
Comparison table of the best group tour companies for young solo/single travelers:
Bonus: world tours for women only.
Solo Female Travelers Tours is a company that serves women travelers from all over the world. It is focused on facilitating women’s adventures around the world with all the confidence, safety, and comfort needed by its clients.
Some of the destinations served by SFT Tours are Mongolia , Antarctica, Sudan, Tanzania, Tuscany, and Iceland. There are tours for all tastes, from luxury tours in Tuscany to extreme adventures like climbing Kilimanjaro (with a female guide!).
In addition to empowering diverse women to embark on journeys around the world, all trips taken by Solo Female Travelers Tours are supported by women-owned businesses and partnered with entrepreneurs whose mission is to empower female figures.
In conclusion…
Traveling is always an enriching experience. And for anyone who just likes to travel solo, group tours can be a fun and safe opportunity to explore a new country.
And the truth is, by traveling in a group with a guide, you’ll have an incredible experience and return filled with stories, friends, and memories. What matters is that you get out and explore the world, whether solo or with a group, because the world is big and waiting for you!

Register an account, the best locations for tours to asia for young adults.
When young adults are starting to make their own money, one of the biggest perks is getting the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world. There are plenty of places to explore in Asia, but specific locations and countries are better than others for young adults. Not only will people run into more people their age, but there is more to do at these locations as well.
Below are five ideas for young adults wanting to travel to Asia. Consider these great starting points for those doing initial planning before jumping on a deal online.
Southern Thailand
The country of Thailand has a lot to offer to young adults, and it is near the top of any list for great vacations. Not only do people get the opportunity to see a massive city in Bangkok, but heading down to the Phi Phi Islands is also a fun and exciting opportunity during the right time of year.
Phi Phi Islands is a fun and exciting opportunity
What makes Thailand a fan favourite for young adults is that it is very inexpensive, but they still cater to tourists. Australians will be able to speak in English and function just fine in all the tourist areas, and even in some of the smaller towns there is English prominently spoken as well. Finally, Thailand is pretty centrally located in Southeast Asia. It is not difficult to get to countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore if a person looks at extended trips.
Only southern Thailand makes the list because this is a pretty big country with activities in the north as well. Unfortunately, those not on unlimited time generally can’t see all part of Thailand in a single trip. Staying on the south edge will allow for easier access to other hotspots in Southeast Asia as well.
Some people may feel like Bali is a bit overdone these days, but it caters to young adults significantly. They are always looking to bring in young people looking for a truly remarkable vacation on an island. Everything on the island is reachable pretty easily, and there is enough to do in Bali itself for a few days in the area.
Bali – a truly remarkable vacation on an island
Most travel tours will include visits to the Gili Islands, Lovina, Canggu, and more. If visitors want to party it up and have a great time in a different country, they can easily do that. If they want a more relaxing spot on the island, there are plenty of areas for that as well.
Bali might have this reputation of being a particular type of vacation spot, but it has grown to the point that visitors can choose their adventure. Not everyone will love being a little isolated while on a tour, but there is a reason why it became so popular in the first place. Young adults particularly will enjoy being around a more youthful crowd overall in all of the hotspot areas.
The great thing about visiting an area like Singapore is that it is easy to get around once there. So many young adults make the mistake of picking spots where they have to drive or even fly to different areas, but Singapore has everything right there.
Singapore has all the entertainment and nightlife young adults can ask for in the area
Singapore has all the entertainment and nightlife young adults can ask for in the area, so that is always a great starting point when in this part of the world. What keeps people coming back is all they offer that is a bit different from the norm. There are urban jungles located in the city, top-ranked shows throughout the year, zoos and expeditions to see animals up close, and so much more. It is incredible how much they have fit into this relatively small area to bring not only tourists, but keep locals happy about this unique part of the world as well.
This is a very modern city that young adults can fully embrace. Some parts of Asia are a bit behind the times, but tech-savvy individuals will love visiting Singapore and not having to miss a beat. They are always making improvements to the city to make it a bit smarter and more modern.
Visiting just Singapore for a getaway makes sense to some, but keep in mind that it is on the southern tip of Malaysia as well. It is pretty easy to get to some of the bigger cities in Malaysia, but it is relatively isolated from everywhere else in Asia. It is also located in a very tropical location, meaning that the summers tend to get pretty hot and rainy. Going during the dry season will enhance the overall experience if outdoor activities are high on the list.
Going on a Vietnam travelling tour is one of the more intriguing vacations young adults can take. There are many different cities to check out in the country, and since the country stretches out so much from north to south, the weather can be significantly different at certain times of the year.
Nha Trang beaches is going to be the warmest vacation opportunity for many young adults.
Heading to some of the southern beaches, or Ho Chi Minh City, is going to be the warmest vacation opportunity for many. If that is the main focus, there is plenty to see and do in Vietnam. There is also a city across the border in Cambodia called Phnom Penh which is very quick to get to. Those who do not mind breaking up visiting just one country can head over there for some unique history as well. It is the capital, so getting an opportunity to visit two major points in two countries is enticing.
On the east coast of Vietnam is Nha Trang, as well as some interesting inland areas to explore. A lot of people will come here for the beaches as well, but they also have a very prideful culture in this region. They are all about relaxing and making the visitor feel at home, offering some pampering opportunities for people at all times. Not only that, but the food options are unique, and young adults love this part of the trip in general.
Finally, making it up to Hanoi can sometimes feel like an entirely different country. While it is over 1700 kilometres to get to Hanoi from Ho Chi Minh City, some are willing to take the trip by car or bus, while others fly. Once in the area, young adults love the blend of cultures in this unique part of the world. Due to his location, influences are coming from other southeast Asian countries, China, France, and more. Finding local hotspots in different neighbourhoods is always an enjoyable time for shopping and local cuisine.
The hustle and bustle of big cities is also something that young adults might appreciate more than others. Older travellers in those with families might want a more relaxed type of vacation, but there is something energetic about exploring Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and others.
Once in Japan, there are so many different activities to choose from depending on what a person enjoys most. Major Japanese cities are very different compared to the big cities in Australia, and most people are surprised just how efficient people are with everything. From moving around the city to keeping everything as clean as possible, it is a surprisingly stress-free vacation spot for many.
Japan might be very small and seemingly filled with way too much going on, but there are some more laid-back locations as well. In between some of the big cities are some amazing outside views for people to take in. The good news is that a person does not have to travel too far outside of the cities to get a sense of the entire country.
Travelling around Japan is very efficient as well, so there is no problem getting to see so many different spots on one trip. Japan is one of those parts of Asia that is fine to go to during all parts of the year and still have something to do. It might be a little colder at the beginning of the new year, but some people like doing winter activities in a different country.
Japan has always been a hub for starting trends and being forward-thinking in general. Most young adults embrace this culture right away, and they feed off the energy in the bigger cities. The language barrier might be a little tough in smaller towns, but big cities have plenty of English speakers to make it comfortable.
General travelling tips for young adults
It can be overwhelming booking a tour without the assistance of anyone else for the first time. To simplify the process, keep in mind some of these tips to enjoy the experience as much as possible.
Start planning early
Last-minute excursions are always enjoyable to a certain degree, but they are usually not the most affordable. On occasion, people might get lucky, but the majority of people will be better off planning. Do not be someone putting off the planning process too much.
Planning early not only allows for better deals, but it will enable people to find the right time of year to visit. Specific locations in Asia are miserable weatherwise during summer months, so waiting for better weather is the best way to go.
Bigger groups mean more significant savings
Some young adults want to travel with a select few friends, or even their significant other only. For those who want to be a bit more social, travelling in large groups is going to make it the most affordable. This is good news for young adults who might not have the type of savings that other people have, and therefore it becomes a little shaky.
Leave room for surprise activities
Planning is still a smart move, but part of the planning process is giving enough time for spur the moment activities as well. No one knows exactly what they might get into or become interested in when they arrive in a different country, so have open time available.
Do not try to see all of Asia in one trip
A common mistake many Australians make when visiting Asia for the first time is trying to hit up every country in one trip. This is a different type of trip compared to visitors heading to Australia. Asia is very spread out, and even getting from some countries to the one next-door can take several hours by plane.
It is recommended to stick with a few destinations at first and then allow ample time at these locations to enjoy as much as possible. Some people have the luxury of going on Asia tours that can last up to a month, and that gives enough time to see different areas. Still, even in a month, there is a lot to come back and see in Asia.
Are tours to Asia for young adults ultimately worth it?
Ready to see what the world has to offer? Young adults can find plenty to see and do without having to travel halfway around the globe. A lot of Australians fall in love with the variety of travel options available to them at pretty low prices overall. Not only are a lot of countries cheap to travel around in, but flight prices are less expensive to Asia than Europe or America.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was awesome. Be had the right amount of free time and guidance. Our CEO was the best one I've ever could expect, she went to the top and 500 extra miles. I will definitely recommend it.
Japan One Life Adventures - 10 Days
One life was over the top amazing! Hayley was our tour guide, and she was beyond exceptional! Without her, we wouldn’t know what to do because of all the trains, subways etc. me and my wife did our honeymoon at one life Japan, and we will NEVER forget this! Because of one life (and with hayley) we’re coming back to Japan soon!

Japan: Tokyo Nights & Kyoto Temples
Tour was great! I had fun. CEO Sho and Tetsu were amazing in guiding us all over the locations and teaching the culture and history of shrines and streets. Catching trains & subways like ninjas, experiencing the bathing ways of japanese or using onsen is one of my favorite. Plus I’m with amazing young groups. I wish I had more time to discover more of places. I’l definitely come back!
Japan Adventure
Excellent trip! Great activities but also time to explore independently! Shout out to Zoe for being a top group leader too :)
Japan One Life Adventures - 14 Days
This is a very interesting, very diversified tour designed particularly for young, energetic people interested in Japanese culture as well as the beauty of the country, and the modern technological fun. I and my husband are in the seventies, the oldest couple in the tour. Sometimes we feel exhausted (especially myself) by all the walking. But I got there to almost everywhere planned. All destinations are marvelous and recommended. We found the temple stays in the mountain very special and a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for us.
Hidden Tokyo Experience
An excellent tour for people who want to learn how to travel Tokyo and Japan in general comfortably alone and on a budget! Also check their own website for hotter deals.
Highlights of Japan
The 8 day "Highlights of Japan" tour run by Travel Talk was really a 6 day tour as we met for a briefing and optional diner meeting which counted as Day 1 and then Day 8 was a farewell at Breakfast. Mariko Takehana-our guide, was excellent. She was patient, knowledgeable and made our tour extremely pleasant . Tour Radar was good with pre tour communication. Travel talk was extremely poor regarding hotels and most tour participants had issues with knowing hotels and having ability to plan their trips. this puts extra unnecessary stress on travel. I would recommend Tour Radar but would hesitate to recommend Travel Talk

Japan Explorer
It was logistically a well organized Japan tour - by train and walk - a lot of walk!!! Fast pace, sometime I wish we'd have more time to contemplate the beauty. But we covered a lot of grounds and see a lot! Hotels - some were great and some just OK, great breakfasts everywhere but Kyoto Prince hotel. Don't take this tour if you can't make 7-10 miles a day.

What people love about Japan Tours for Young Adults
Japan was so fun! A looooooot of free time so do you researches about what to do and visit in every city. Would have love more ''organised'' activities (like a dinner every night with the group,...). Compared to other G Adventures tour I did in the past, I felt that this group was less stick together since there was only a few group activities.
The tour was great, we had so much fun! Everyone in our group, as well as our guide were so nice? The 10 days were so good, that we wished we had done the 14 days.
My expectations for the tour was exceeded. I had a really good time and I am really thankful to our CEO Ms. Ayako Ueda.
