We used TourRadar to search tours to Hokkaido geared for seniors and found Supera Tours. Although not specifically geared for seniors, it was very well organized. The team did an excellent job in coordinating lodging, food, and travel/transportation. Everything far exceeded our expectations and went so smoothly! Our tour guide, Hui, was so very diligent, considerate, and patient! She checked with each and every tour member after room check-in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We were especially grateful for her thoughtfulness since we were "seniors with needs and had things prepared ahead of time. We were well taken care of, and this was truly an enjoyable and stress-free vacation!! My husband and I were the only "first timers" with Supera on this tour. All the others were repeat guests. Easy to understand! We look forward to joining the ranks soon!
Superb! Went on a Hokkaido, Japan autumn tour. We like nature, consider ourselves foodies and enjoy comfort and quality, this trip did not disappoint! Very well organized, our tour guide was very attentive and took very good care of us!
Looking forward to sign up another trip, which will be #3, with Supera!
