So…don’t delay in booking you trip. Here are some creative ways to see Tokyo where you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a tour guide…

Cruises

Packaged Group Tours

Don’t knock it til you try it. Group tours have great economies of scale and can help you see a lot of a country at a great price. I am a preferred partner with of all of these touring providers and know their product lines well. (And I also have a lot of other tours…too many to mention! And remember that I can make most packaged tours private. Book a complimentary vacation consultation here to talk more.)

Seoul, South Korea

It’s been 20 years since my one and only trip to Korea and I really need to go back! I really love this country. And its food! Korean food is so underrated. Please consider a trip to Korea if you feel priced out of Japan and/or want to avoid the crowds. There don’t tend to be a lot of cruises that circumnavigate Korea but there are definitely a few that hit a few ports. If you are interested in a cruise that visits Korea, book your complimentary vacation consultation here.

Because of the language difficulties in getting around in Korea, a packaged tour can be a very good way to see the country. I have a huge storehouse of packaged tours that visit the country. Here are a few that you might find interesting. Note that I can make pretty much any tour private! Yes, I am that flexible!
