The biggest difference with TRIP‘s “Authentic Experience” tour is that we completely eliminate mandatory and unnecessary shopping stops. Instead, we focus 100% on providing you with the most profound and genuine cultural, culinary, and local human connection experiences in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Our itineraries are meticulously designed to maximize exploration time and minimize rushing.

Yes, absolutely! We understand that every traveler has unique preferences and desires. In addition to our pre-designed tours, TRIP is more than happy to listen and consult with you to build an “Authentic Experience” journey that is entirely personalized to your requests. Please contact us to share your ideas!

TRIP is committed to absolute price transparency. The tour price you see typically includes major services such as flights (depending on the tour), hotel accommodation, meals as per the itinerary, entrance fees to attractions listed, local guides, and travel insurance. All inclusions and exclusions will be detailed clearly in the information for each specific tour. We do not have any hidden costs.

We partner directly with genuine local communities for real immersion (cooking, crafts, local life), not staged shows. Our strict “No Forced Shopping” policy is enforced; experiences focus purely on cultural exchange, free from commercial pressure.

We conduct thorough risk assessments for every activity. Our guides are first-aid certified, and we use reliable local experts for specialized tours. We have robust emergency communication plans, including remote devices, and 24/7 emergency support.

You can verify through our public review platform on our website and via reputable independent travel review sites. We openly publish and respond to all feedback, positive or negative, ensuring full transparency and continuous improvement.
