My kids went on this tour and they loved every part of it. The tour, food, and the group they were with were all amazing. They had a lot of great stories and pics to share. I would definitely use EF Tours for future travels.

**A Heartfelt Review of Our Japan Tour with Educational Tours** Our recent Japan tour with Educational Tours was far more than just a travel experience—it was a profound journey of discovery and learning that exceeded every expectation. As a parent chaperone, watching this beautifully orchestrated adventure unfold left me in awe—from the moment we arrived at the hotel to the final goodbye. **Accommodations and Comfort:** The hotels provided were not only comfortable and impeccably maintained, but they also exuded a warm and welcoming ambiance, making families feel right at home. Every detail seemed to be carefully considered, ensuring that both rest and relaxation were woven seamlessly into our busy schedule. After long days of exploration and learning, the safe and serene comfort of our accommodations became our sanctuary. **Transportation Throughout the Journey:** Navigating a foreign country can sometimes be daunting, but the transportation arranged by Educational Tours was a masterclass in reliability and efficiency. Buses and transfers were punctual, spacious, and equipped with amenities that made every ride enjoyable. The smooth transitions from one destination to the next meant that we could focus entirely on the enriching experiences awaiting us, rather than worrying about logistics. **An Immersive Educational Experience:** The true jewel of the tour was, without a doubt, the immersive educational opportunities thoughtfully integrated throughout our journey. Each visit to historical sites, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems was a lesson in itself. The guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and adept at connecting rich historical narratives with the everyday lives of the local people. They captured the essence of Japan’s vibrant traditions, art, and history with such depth that learning felt both organic and deeply inspiring. Every moment was designed not just to educate, but to ignite curiosity and a profound respect for Japan's heritage. As a parent chaperone, the peace of mind knowing that our children—and indeed all participants—were in such capable hands was invaluable. The exceptional blend of meticulous planning, seamless logistics, and an enriching educational agenda made this tour a truly life-changing experience for everyone involved. It is rare to see such a high standard of care and attention to educational detail, and it is with heartfelt gratitude that I extend my best acknowledgment to Educational Tours for their extraordinary work. Our journey with Educational Tours was, in every sense, absolutely phenomenal, and I can confidently say it has set a new benchmark for how educational travel should be conducted. Whether you’re a parent seeking a transformative experience for your children or a curious soul eager to learn in a hands-on environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Educational Tours for an unparalleled adventure into the heart of Japan.
The middle school itinerary was well thought out for this age group, mixing history, culture and hands-on interactive experiences for the kids. Our tour directors were well organized and eager to interact with our kids and parent travelers. Awesome experiences, again!
My son loved making his own ramen, eating wagyu, and buying Pokemon cards that he lost and left behind in Japan. At least he didn't lose his passport.
The best experience ever!
Our son loved his class trip to Japan
This experience for my daughter is worth the cost. My daughter loved it and wants to move Japan now
A wonderful tour director and meals!
I think Disney should definitely be included in the middle school itinerary. The kids loved adding it to their experience.
The tour to Japan was incredible! It was well planned and well paced for Middle School students! The Tour Director was very knowledgeable and helpful! Local guides gave us a great outlook on historic sights and events! The food was great and varied! Just a travel of a lifetime!
Got to see a glimpse of Japan, and felt like there was still so much more to experience. The price paid was totally worth everything that was included and all the activities that we did. The trip left me wanting to explore Japan more. Guess a future trip will need to be arranged. I recommend to anyone that is looking for fun, and adventure.
Thank you for the experience We enjoyed it !

We're glad you had a great time on tour! Thanks for sharing and for being part of the EF Tours family!
The trip in the tour guide and the bus drivers were wonderful. The catered food was terrible. The trip included 2 meals. One was breakfast at the hotel the Osaka hotel was wonderful. The Tokyo hotel was not and the catered dinner was not good either. I would have rather paid for my dinner every single night than ate at the hotel for dinner. But it almost seemed mandatory to eat as a group and it was not good and it was too late to take me and my son somewhere else for dinner so we went to a gas station and got some food
My kid had a great experience and he really enjoyed it.
The best trip I have had the pleasure of leading! We had many unexpected hiccups along the way too like several traveler illnesses arise and even some hotel concerns, but EF was there every step of the way.
Great organization and planning
Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to go back to Japan!
The perfect trip to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. All three cities were excellently planned and executed!
Very nice staff, and an amazing experience.
Amazing trip! We really enjoyed the tour guide he went above and beyond to make sure our trip was a success
