We had a wonderful time enjoying beautiful scenery and delicious food while connecting with like-minded people! I’m grateful the getaway co exists to make these trips happen.

An absolutely fantastic experience! Everything from the food to the excursions was so thoughtfully planned out by The Getaway Co and our hosts Isabella from the Garden Hotel Primavera and Dr Matthew Nagra. In addition, we had the most wonderful group of people to share this experience with. We’ve already booked our next excursion to Greece in 2027!

Overall, another fantastic experience with TGC. A couple of feedback points: the hotel in Tokyo was a bit nicer than the one in Kyoto. Moreover, it was preferable for us to be able to choose our own breakfast (and not at a designated time), especially for those of us who do not tend towards savory for breakfast, which was the case at the hotel at Kyoto. One very nice detail was the variety of different food venues that we ate at. Most were what would be most likely called holes-in-the-wall, but they were more like hidden gems. A minor critique is that there were moments that I felt my body craving less fried food and more fresh vegetables, but overall everything ranged from delicious to "wow, I could live on this!" (the ramen in Kyoto, for example) Leo was the absolute best. Her energy, approachability and fun nature made the trip an absolute pleasure. I am grateful for having gotten familiar with different areas of Japan, in addition to the transit system and the bullet train, and also that we were able to get our steps in on a daily basis. Again, for Leo to be able to manage all of us logistically was a marvel, and I hope that she continues on with TGC for future groups to be able to experience her wonderfulness.

We had a really exceptional trip. Isabella and Maurizio were phenomenal hosts, really going out of their way to accommodate all of us as much as possible. The food was outstanding. It exceeded our expectations. The weather was a bother, but not controlled by anyone. I would double and triple check the weather because there is no a/c or ceiling fans. It was very uncomfortable.

I couldn't have planned a better trip with better people. This trip exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to traveling with The Getaway Company again.
