What a tremendous JAPAN adventure! Embarked on a 3 week trip with Far Fung Places, based in San…read moreFrancisco, CA. Taste of Japan, a cultural, artistic and culinary journey! Nine cities in 3 weeks, experiencing the culture and tastes up close and personal. Access beyond the average travel experience. Glorious! Visits to those immersed in traditional life. Observing, first hand the artisans participating in time-honored handicrafts. Gaining a true perspective and depth. The trip is framed by visits to the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto. In between we visit the rural cities of Wajima, Kanazawa, Fukui, Matsue, Oki Islands, Hakata and Nagasaki. Each city provides a unique experience. It's difficult to choose one highlight. I will say though that to experience the Oki Islands was a pure delight. The ferry to and from had us out on the water experiencing the refreshing air, natural beauty and sunshine. We stayed at the Kunigaso which was like a ryokan (a traditional Japanese hotel) with tatami matted rooms, many with a view of the ocean. There was an onsen, fed with hot spring water; we had our own private dining room. They provided the Japanese yukatas for us to wear at night at dinner, served Kaisei style. The owner and his English speaking wife plus the entire kitchen staff really looked after us well. The small tourist office provided us with a cooking and origami lesson, a beautiful blessing ceremony at one of the old Shinto shrines, hiking along (and with cattle and horses!) and down the Montengai cliff overlooking the Kuniga beach and ocean, and a fabulous sightseeing cruise around the rocky Kuniga coastline with its many caves. Wow!!! So much more awaits! Kathleen, a graceful and knowledgeable woman who has traveled the world - shepherded us throughout our journey, bestowing many tidbits of information the average travel company may overlook. She anticipated our needs and accomodated special requests. Reach out to Kathleen Fung, Far Fung Places. (415 386-8306) Your adventure awaits! Joanne

Guides showed up on time and the local experiences were amazing! We have also scheduled a group tour to Bhutan through Far Fung Places as well as a customized trip to Sri Lanka. I cannot recommend their services highly enough!

I have used Hitomi-san twice for our visits to Japan. Both trips were absolutely memorable. On our…read moremaiden trip she put together an itinerary that was highly personalized and perfect. Not only did we want to visit the usual tourist sights we also wanted other experiences such as a stay at the Benesse House on Naoshima and to hike the Kumado Kodo trail and stay in a temple. Hitomi-san put it all together and things went off without a hitch. All our travel documents and tickets were waiting for us at our first hotel in Tokyo. The second time we were well versed on using the transportation system throughout Japan but , we used her services to secure some hard to get reservations at the Sakura Resort on Yakushima and a few odds and ends. I've recommended Hitomi-san to a number of people who want something off the usual beaten path. I can't recommend her highly enough. Maureen A.

I've been going to New World Tours for about 10 years. I frequently travel to Asia for business…read more(I'm a lawyer) and pleasure (I love Southeast Asia). There are many reasons I've been going to New World and its owner, Victor: 1. Trust and rates: I can trust Victor to help me get the most reasonable rates on my international tickets. He's a genuine person whom I trust would tell me the truth as to what are my best travel options. 2. Connections: New World has personal connections with several Asian airlines. He often talks with them while I'm in his office to make sure that I get the best deals (along with seating) with those airlines. 3. Packages: He has international connections not only with flights, but also with hotel accommodations. He can help you with planning your whole trip, not just your flight. 4. Visa issues: He knows people who works at several embassies and gets the visa process done quicker than having to go to their offices and waiting in long lines at the embassies. 5. Victor himself: I consider him a friend of mine since I've been seeing him for about a decade. He's a very friendly and caring man, which leads me to my next point of priceline v. New World. Priceline v. New World: there are many websites like priceline that offer good rates too, but traveling internationally is different from domestically. There are more variables you have to worry about and you have to know people in the countries you travel to. With New World, you won't feel alone if something happens. For example, I had to reschedule my flights a couple times in Thailand and Cambodia, and Victor quickly helped me do so. Can you count on priceline to help you with that? Will they even allow you to change your flight? I highly recommend seeing New World for your international travel plans. Once you do, you'll likely be another 10 year customer like me.

These guys are great for what amounts to a discount service, and though what you get is just as…read moregood as any of the big, expensive companies, it's worth noting that it's discounted for a reason--in this case, the bathroom on the time machine was a little bit foul. My girlfriend and I used Golden Time Travel when we wanted to take a vacation but couldn't get any time off. It's a great vacation option since you can be gone for literally months and return to the present only a moment after you left. Our first trip booked with Golden was pretty great. We wanted to get away to somewhere familiar so we went to San Francisco in 1905. It was real nice and the exchange rate was excellent, particularly because of inflation since then. The trolleys got us around real easily, and everyone was very friendly. We had a nice time staying at the Palace Hotel, and our bellhop, Edward, was wonderful. You can imagine our shock when, upon arriving home, we looked him up and found out he died the next year in the earthquake, along with the hotel which was destroyed in the ensuing fire. Very sad. I kind of wish we'd warned him now. The next year we saved up a bit and went to classical Greece. Golden Time Travel dropped us off and picked us up two weeks later without a hitch. My girlfriend has a lighter complexion, and though she got made fun of a bit for being a "barbarian"--several times we heard children chanting "bar-bar-bar" and making fun of our yet-uninvented tongue--the famous "Athenian hospitality" more than made up for it. Plus, those togas are surprisingly flattering. My only critique is that the cuisine left something to be desired. We forgot that this was pre-Columbian exchange, so no tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, corn or avocados. Also, they hadn't quite figured out chemistry in that era, much less baking, so don't expect to be impressed with the pastries (no baklava yet). For our next trip we decided to check out the Bay Area in 2085. Now, I know this wasn't Golden Time Travel's fault, as they just provide the time machine, but this trip was an absolute disaster. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is a robot fascist dictator in that year, and he forces loyalty through perpetual social surveillance. Well, it was really terrifying, and we spent most of the trip dodging the Google Civilian View drone copters that track down "nonconsumers" and install g-chips to catalog their brain. I know the contents of the future aren't the fault of Golden, but we would have appreciated some forewarning. They certainly have the technology.

As other Yelpers point out, it's definitely a service at a discount, no frills, and you have to be *really* explicit with your request.

FWIW I think the Wild West and Ancient Egypt would be a blast, and who knows, maybe check out some dinosaurs? Note: they do *not* offer visits to the future.
