Tasmanian 10 Day Tour   , VIC, Australia, Mar 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Tasmania with TravelMarvel. It was a hassle free experience thanks in no small part to Maisie at Global Journeys. She was the best travel agent we have ever experienced, looking after everything down to the finest detail.

What a great tour Bunnik's South Korea in Depth was! From the tour guide, to the itinerary, sightseeing, special experiences, accommodation, to the included meals and little delectable surprises along the way - everything was excellent.

Worry free Japan Discovery     , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
What a seamless tour with Bunnik and their amazing guide Yoko. Our guide so knowledgeable, friendly and organised that we were always at ease. Our tour by coach, local train and 3 bullet train trips was planned without a hitch. This is a very full on tour with only a small amount of free time. Our group of 20 travellers from all over Australia got on ...read more fantastically and we ended up as a little family. The highlights were the included special events,; calligraphy , sushi making, paper making, sumo and samurai. A really fun time. The negatives were the early morning starts most days, the hot breakfast choices that were cold, but the most negative was the flights were not direct to Japan and required a layover in Singapore on both legs. Otherwise highly recommended.
Amazing Japan     , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
We have just completed a16 day trip to Japan with 18 other Australians and our amazing guide Yoko. Yoko was a most knowledgeable guide who used visual aids and hand drawn maps and diagrams to highlight her information. Our daily scedules were clear and we used all forms of transport on our daily tours. We loved the group cultural activities such as ...read more sushi making calligraphy and paper making. The group bonded in sharing experiences during displays of tea making sumo wrestling and warrior displays. So much fun.

The weather in late March was cool but good for walking. Highhlights were seeing a snow covered Mt Fuji emerge from cloud and our first cherry blooms along the river of the Philosophers walk in Kyoto. Returning to our hotels each evening was a treat as they were well located for cafes and restaurants and very comfortable. We rate this tour as 5 star and thank Yoko and Bunnik for all the magic and fun experiences.
