Fabulous First Japan Experience

We had a wonderful 21-day trip to Japan organised with Bushbaby Travel in conjunction with Inside Japan. Our overall experience from the pre-trip planning phase to the actual holiday experience was excellent. As two couples who have been independently organising our international travel for many years, we are not accustomed to having every last detail of our trip arranged perfectly - we are not sure that it will be possible for us to return ...

We had a wonderful 21-day trip to Japan organised with Bushbaby Travel in conjunction with Inside Japan. Our overall experience from the pre-trip planning phase to the actual holiday experience was excellent. As two couples who have been independently organising our international travel for many years, we are not accustomed to having every last detail of our trip arranged perfectly - we are not sure that it will be possible for us to return to our usual status quo after the incredible service we have experienced. In hindsight, we tried to cram too much into our three weeks in our excitement to squeeze every drop out of our trip and may have benefitted from visiting fewer places and spending more time in Tokyo and Osaka, which would also have meant less packing and unpacking. Our Japanese guides in the various cities were brilliant, interesting individuals who each gave us their unique insight into Japanese culture and interesting places that we may have missed on our own. Japan is a destination that we highly recommend for those who love exploring nature, different cultures, cuisine, and history. Don't let the language barrier stop you either as it is a very accessible country for travel and many people speak English and look for any opportunity to practice with you1

Inside Japan did an excellent job at converting our wishes into reality. In the pre-trip planning phase, some hotels we desired were already booked, which was a shame but not within their control. Overall, we had a good combination of interesting, ryokan style accommodation, both modern and more traditional and more functional city-based hotels which were of a high standard but less interesting in terms of facilities, but generally located in excellent locations. All connecting train journeys and many of the transfers were organised by Inside Japan - we collected all of our tickets for our time in Japan from the reception of our first hotel in Tokyo, along with IC Cards, which are like the Japanese version of an Oyster Card and a Mobile WIFI device which covered our three weeks in Japan. Along with this, the detailed Trip Itinerary and all of the destination information, which was sent to us beforehand, made the trip hassle-free. We had cause to contact Inside Japan a few times during our stay and found the team very responsive and efficient.

Amazing Honeymoon

We travelled to Athens for our honeymoon and stayed in two separate hotels, one in the city and one out on the coast. Both were beautiful hotels and we had a great mix of sight seeing, shopping, amazing food as well as time to sunbathe and relax.

Bush Baby were amazing as always, we ended up having to move the dates of our trip because of one of the hotels and they handled it so well and took care of all the changes for us with no issues at all.

Bush Baby Travel arranged the most memorable magical trip to Thailand. We wanted a relaxing time alongside sightseeing and some activities during our 2 week stay. 2 days in Bangkok, 2 nights in Elephant Hills including exploring the jungle, trekking and canoeing followed by 7 nights in Koh Samui.

Bushbaby Travel are extremely thorough and sorted every detail including flights, transfers, bookings cars and even booked my sons birthday dinner treat. nothing was too much trouble and found a hotel in Koh Samui that had tennis courts for my son to train. As they're a small company they are on call 7 days a week and are available to answer any queries even on a Sunday! this is the 2nd holiday we've used Bush baby and can't wait for our next holiday for them to organise.

a relaxing week

An easy week away at an all inclusive hotel with a range of restaurants offering good but not excellent food. Excellent watersports. Great gym. Lovely beach. Deluxe area pool very nice - the main pool less so.

Family trip to Borneo

We had a wonderful family holiday to Borneo, with the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. A few days by the beach were followed by trips into the jungle to experience the unique creatures resident on the island. To finish we had a week on an island with activities including scuba diving, snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking and zip wires.

Fabulous and interesting trip

Well organised and met all expectations of a great adventure. Our tour guide in the Sacred Valley (Hector) really stood out and made the trip. If you want more information on this - happy to give a separate brief.

We have used Bush Baby on two other occasions and also recommended them to friends. Abi and her team are really excellent at recommending/selecting the right locations/accommodation and the right price for our family. They are very patient and understanding of the detail required to make the trip run smoothly.

We're so very pleased you had a great time on your Latin America adventure! The guides make such an impact on a trip, so it's wonderful to hear that you felt Hector made such a positive contribution to your time in the Sacred Valley. Thank you for asking us to assist once again and for the kind and much appreciated recommendations.
