"The tour significantly exceeded all my expectations. It was educational, enjoyable and provided extensive cultural insights. I had previously travelled to Japan on a 2 week trip to major cities which left me wanting to experience Japanese culture more deeply. This tour provided exactly what I was after. The guides, Hirome and Haruna, were superb. They were professional and knowledgeable, conducted the walks to accommodate all levels within the group and could not have been more helpful, caring or considerate. We felt they had become friends and I cannot compliment them highly enough. They are an enormous asset to the organisation."

"Excellent tour! The diversity of the walks, the depth of experience, knowledge and strong organisational skills of the guide (Glen), the daily options to tailor individual experiences, clean and comfortable accommodation all made the trip wonderful. Glen was a 5 star guide - very receptive/accommodating to all suggestions/requests and balanced with his commentary and overview of the walks. New guide Mishka was great at supporting Glen, engaging with the guests and taking in all information necessary for his new role. Would highly recommend this trip to future travellers. What a wonderful part of Tasmania! A fantastic way to spend 4 days. Rated 10 out of 10!"

"It was amazing and we would recommend the trip to our friends. Seeing a different side to Japan, away from the crowds was a joy. The guides were professional, caring and informative. Tony shared his love of the history of the peninsula and Quinlan shared his religious and history knowledge. They both brought different things to the trip but complemented each other nicely. One of the guests wasn’t particularly confident or fit, and both guides were supportive and I think she discovered she was actually able to do more than she thought and probably left with more confidence. But in any case, both guides gave her options each day which meant she still participated. The structure of the days was really well thought out - each days walk was different and gave us an appreciation for the Izu Peninsula. The ryokans and the food were top notch. "

"Our Guide Steve, and the driver Paul, were really excellent. They were always cheerful, helpful and had the patience of saints. Paul was always available to pick up anyone who was unable to walk the full distance; he also went out of his way to to pick up any essentials for clients. The walks took us through some stunning countryside, but the climbs and the distances covered made the walks quite challenging, and all the more satisfying for being able to finish it."
