Wonderful and enjoyable stress-free experience, not only getting to know the amazing attractions but thanks to the conversations with the guides, you get to immerse in the culture and nuances of this distinctive nation. We had a personalized private tour by Agate Travel and it was flawless!

We recently took a 12 day trip to Japan which was totally planned for us by Agate Travel and Wendy Lee at this travel agency. There were 5 of us in my family. We corresponded exclusively by email. I was introduced to her and Agate by a friend who also went to Japan in September of 2023 and has since taken another trip planned by Agate and Wendy Lee. Our Japan trip was absolutely excellent!!! Every single detail that was given to us took place without a single problem. The guides that were selected for us were superb! and such nice, caring, and thoughtful people. They were always there to greet us at the train stations and ready for us in the hotel lobbies each morning for the day's excursion. We saw many amazing and absolutely beautiful sights with good explanations of what we were seeing. In addition, we experienced a nice variety of events- a wonderful dinner with a Maiko in Kyoto, a river boat trip, a visit to the Nara deer park with wild/tame deer, and amazing botanical sights (which was very important to us) including Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa and also visited the incredible Bamboo Forest in Kyoto. Visiting Hiroshima was very important and our guide was outstanding in bringing understanding of what happened there in 1945 so that we could more fully appreciate the impact and the importance of never forgetting and therefore never repeating this tragic event in human history. In addition, we were able to do some very nice shopping in a variety of shopping streets and also in Takayama, which we especially enjoyed and wished we could have had another day there. Every detail of our transportation on the bullet trains, local trains, buses was planned to perfection. Hotels were all ready and waiting for us. We had a special train/bus pass provided by Agate and it was invaluable in making transportation very easy! I don't know how we could have had a better first trip to Japan. I am very impressed with Agate Travel and Wendy Lee. She answered all of my questions promptly! (usually within 24 hours) and gave me clear directions, both during our planning, right before departure, and in a packet when we arrived at our first hotel. She even seemed intuitive as to the reasoning behind my questions and took her answers a step further to give me additional information that was very helpful and appreciated. We loved our trip to Japan, had such a happy time experiencing it together as a family, and were very grateful to be in such competent and organized hands. I would highly recommend this travel agency and Wendy Lee. I will definitely use them again for future trips.

We had a wonderful experience in Osaka which was our hub for 5 days, Kyoto tour was a beautiful tour esp at the bamboo forest, Kobe was as nice visiting shrines and temple. Hiroshima was enjoyable esp the visit to the peace memorial park and A bomb dome.
Emily and her counterpart in Japan curated for us an enjoyable tour.

I needed help creating a trip through South Korea, Japan and China. Agate came highly recommended and deservedly so. My travel consultant, Wendy Lee, did an amazing job putting together a trip based upon our requirements and her knowledge of what we needed to see. Agate was there for us every step of the way and had everything planned out to the minute details. We never felt lost or abandoned.
The properties we stayed at were very nice, as advertised, and the guides provided for tours ranged from mostly amazing to occasionally sufficient (some were not quite as "English Speaking" as promised but were nonetheless very pleasant and helpful).
We thoroughly enjoyed our 31 day trip and would never hesitate using Agate again for any travel.

Agate Travels far exceeded our expectations. The itinerary, accommodations, guides and travel arrangements were tailor made and excellent. Their available service was amazing I checked into several tour agencies prior to deciding on Agate and most were significantly more expensive. I give this agency my highest rating and plan to use them again for an upcoming China trip.

The trip was very well organized and very thorough. We saw and did so much! The pace was a bit tiring, it would have been nice to have some downtime in the middle of the tour, but I don’t think there is anything I would have wanted to miss!
