Joyce was fantastic, so responsive and listened to the things we wanted to do so carefully and then found great places. The trip took us to places we would never have gone on our own. The entire trip was so thoughtfully planned by Joyce and the Concierge team was so helpful when we needed them, it could not have been better.

Joyce listened, understood and totally delivered everything we had spoken about for our aspirations for the trip. It's a wonderful country, with adorable people and all of the details were taken care of by Original Travel and your team of super local agents. It was nice to have a local Concierge service to reach out to with a few questions during the trip.

Once again we would like to thank the amazing team at Original Travel for another fabulous tailor-made holiday. As always, the patience shown when planning the trip, attention to detail and meticulous organisation were exceptional.

Our consultant was enthusiastic and engaged all the way through the booking process, and the Concierges on the ground were responsive and helpful. There was an excellent balance of sightseeing and relaxation - it perfectly matched our requirements and what we like about a holiday. It was one of our most memorable holidays (and we’ve certainly travelled the world!). We’ve been going with another travel company for a number of years, but recently their suggested holidays haven’t quite hit the mark. We came to Original Travel last year for the first time and found the enthusiasm and energy from the first call to the end of the trip great. Well done!

The booking process was easy and pleasant, and the trip itself was excellent. We particularly loved the Takayama craft walk and the Kyoto market tour. There were lots of small things that made our experience special, such as the greeting service at Heathrow and on arrival in Tokyo, and the WiFi boxes. Communication was outstanding. We used the app all the time, and the Concierge team was very helpful. We will definitely use Original Travel again. Thank you!

Holly was extremely knowledgeable and really listened to what kind of holiday we wanted as a family. The Concierge was very helpful and dealt very well with our endless questions. Our most memorable moments were Sumo wrestling, the hike in Kyoto, the bike ride in Hida Furukawa and the Takayama Festival.
