“A perfect journey to the east: geography-nature-history-culture and last but not least comradeship and a work out.” –  Annegrete Warrer (Denmark)

“The Journey to the East was an eye opener in so many respects. It revealed the beauty of the Korean and Japanese cultures and landscapes previously unknown to me. This was a result of the excellent choice of routes, regular exposure cultrual sites, local food, hotels and informative briefings by the staff. The tour leader and staff were excellent in their support of the riders. They were able to help mold us into a group with a positive identity who enjoyed each others company and cared for one another. This a must for riders who enjoy the challenge of an expedition and revel in discovery of new vistas.”
– Vince Waite (USA)

“It’s a great way to see Japan and exercise at the same time. This also means that you can try all of the different cuisines on offer as you burn up the calories riding. I loved the camaraderie between the riders and the support crew. We had a wonderful group of caring, fun-loving people who were great to spend time with.” – Andrea Zwerling (Australia)

“A beautiful experience.” – Gary Matey (USA)

“Loved the tour. What’s better than riding a hard day and then getting into an onsen to relax your muscles, followed by a fabulous meal. Mix that with a no drama, great group of people and an excellent cohesive staff and you get an amazing tour. Very different than the camping tours I have done before and no less amazing.” – Peggy Schrieber (USA)

“Totally up to my high expectations! Thanks to all those who were involved in making it happen ☀️.” – Sylvie Vachon (Canada)

“Great trip – a wonderful introduction to different cultures and countries. A fascinating “thin cut” through varied landscapes and places. Polite courteous and helpful people – even when/if we didn’t understand each other. Well led and supported – leaving us to enjoy the day at the variety of speeds chosen.” – Grant Duncan (UK)

“Despite all great information leading into tour I still commenced with much trepidation, unsure whether I would or could undertake the daily riding. Fantastic! my legs did come to the party (at my pace)!! Bonus too was enjoying culture, food and the riding and socializing other riders.” -Giselle Whish (Australia)
