I normally travel solo but I wasn't sure if I'd get lost in Tokyo or not, so I booked this trip. It was wonderful. Learned how to get around, customs, saw things that would never exist in America, made great friends, and fell in love with a world far away.

First time ever taking a trip with EF and it was a blast! The people were amazing, sights and food were the best, and our tour guide Mike was awesome! Can’t recommend this trip enough.

Every trip I’ve taken on Ef has been a different surreal experience and in different times of my life and I can never choose which has been my favorite but what I can choose is my favorite tour guide and Maurice tops all. I think we miss him more than the country itself which is...

I am so glad we had Maurice as a guide! He made it feel more like family rather than just a tour. There was non stop laughs and endless memories that I will forever cherish. He got to know us as individuals and even allowed us to pick on him from time to time 😌 anytime I go...

This was my 5th with EF and it did not disappoint! Japan is such a fun, JAM PACKED vacation!! You will experience the craziness of Tokyo to the calmness of Hakone and more! Be sure to bring your walking shoes because we walked at least 15,000 almost every day! Oh and bring...

I’m so thankful for how much of Japan I got to see in my two weeks, Mari was an excellent guide with plenty of recommendations - not to mention she’s hysterical (I think standup comedy is her second calling). The sights, the shrines and temples, the experiences, the food, I was...

Where do I begin. First things first I didn't know what to expect out of my first EF trip. I knew I always wanted to travel to Japan (major weeb here), but could never find an affordable option that allowed me to see all the cities I wanted too. Then randomly on Instagram I came...
