I loved the tour guide, Jason, but there were times his English got choppy and I had to ask him to repeat. Overall the group was fun!”

“Japan: 'It's the kind of place people go to when they've run out of places to go' was something I heard recently. Well, even if those other places were still waiting to be explored, I'd go back to Japan in preference - AND! with Exodus. (We'd even do the same trip - as there's just so much to try and squeeze in, and only so many hours in a day!) What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Going to Hiroshima and seeing the remains of the City Hall (the stone building with the steel remnants of what was the dome on top) I'd wanted to see it since…”

We also had a lot of 'free time', which was fine for me, but not so much for others in the group who expected a fully guided tour. There is a LOT of walking and climbing stairs, which was also fine for me, but not so much for others in the group. I averaged 25k to 35k steps per day, and about 20 floor worth of stairs, according to FitBit. We had 2 different tour guides for our journey, which…”

We also want to highlight guide Javier's attention - although he was in charge of the English group, we decided to go with him because it was a smaller group. Overall the organization of the tours was excellent.”
