This was our first guided tour experience, and we absolutely loved it. Owen was an outstanding guide, taking care of everything as we travelled from city to city over the 10-day tour. He managed the accommodation seamlessly, provided great recommendations, and made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy Japan. Before this trip, I would have been inclined to plan everything myself based on online recommendations. After this experience, I can really see the value of a guided tour when visiting a new country. Having someone with local knowledge made the trip far more enjoyable, efficient, and stress-free. A big thank you to Owen for making our first guided tour such a memorable experience. We wouldn't hesitate to travel with TravelKon again!

Wonderful Customer Service!
Overwhelmed and stressed initially as the simcards were not working when we landed. But after assistance from customer service and changing our phones’ setting, we are up and running. Thank you. Will use TravelKon again next time we travel!
