My wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary in Thailand with Affordable World. We did the 10 day trip. We had the time of our lives!! I was wary at first since I haven't done a tour like this but by the end of the trip I told my wife I wouldn't wanna travel to a foreign country trip without booking with Affordable World. Our guides were the most awesome people and knew Thailand very well since they were both locals who grew up in Thailand. Sharky and Kitty are the guides everyone should request. Especially Sharky. He cared so much about everyone in the group. We had a lot of people in our group but he gave each and every person an individualized experience to make sure they were having a good time. There was a lot of work that went into our tour. I'm not sure how these guys made money on us cuz we got it for cheap and we got to stay in the nicest hotels. One of our hotels was right on the beach!! They included SOOOOO much with the tour. I thought the only way we'd have a good time is if we added tours and paid our own way on a lot of stuff. I was dead wrong. They included breakfast every single day and lunch on a few of the days. We ate like royalty!! They also included some amazing tours and great advice on what to do outside the tour. A lot of the things you can do in Thailand are super cheap or no cost at all. I highly highly recommend this trip with Affordable World. Especially if you can get Sharky as your tour guide.

Days 1–4: Tokyo and Mount Fuji

An overnight flight takes you to Tokyo, Japan’s capital and the world’s most populous city. Day 3 kicks off with a half-day tour of the most famous landmarks, including the trendy Ginza shopping district and the palace of the imperial family. This leg of the trip comes to a close with a visit to Mount Fuji on Day 4.

  • Senso-ji: One of Tokyo’s oldest temples features a five-story pagoda set amid stalls where you can buy traditional Japanese dishes and handcrafted souvenirs.
  • See views from 7,500 feet on an aerial tram that takes passengers up Mount Fuji.
  • Cruise on Lake Ashi to snap scenic pics of Mount Fuji as reflected on the surface of the water.

Days 5–7: Mount Fuji Area and Kyoto

Next, the tour moves to Japan’s erstwhile capital city, Kyoto. It can feel as though every street corner in town has an elaborate temple, shrine, or garden—the city is rumored to have more than 1,000 Buddhist temples alone. Elsewhere, local marketplaces and restaurants continue the traditions of old Japan. After checking out some of the sacred sites, you’ll have free time before boarding a flight for Beijing.

  • Nijo Castle: A network of moats and ancient stone walls protects the pagoda-style buildings of this UNESCO World Heritage Site where several shoguns once lived.
  • Golden Pavilion: The dazzling exterior is covered in gold leaf that reflects off a placid pond below. Tour the grounds to see sprawling gardens and intimate teahouses. If you spot a statue in the gardens, toss a coin in its direction for good luck.
  • Kiyomizu Temple: No nails were used during the rebuilding of this eighth-century structure in the 1600s—and that’s just the start of the property’s magical qualities. There’s also a waterfall that visitors drink from to gain long life and prosperity. Drinking straws are not included.
  • Optional Nara and Osaka tour: Visit Nara’s Great Eastern Temple and the monumental Osaka Castle during this daylong excursion (Day 6; $80/person).

Days 8–10: Beijing

Beijing’s rich history is ever present. While strolling the streets, you’ll see ornate temples, ancient alleyways lined with shops and teahouses, and open-air markets that have been around for centuries. At the city center stands the Forbidden City, which served as a royal residence to 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. And of course, there’s the Great Wall of China, which winds its way across the landscape north of Beijing. Before your tour comes to a close, you’ll see Qianmen Street and sites from the 2008 Olympics.

  • Tiananmen Square: Take a moment at this highly politicized landmark to visit the Monument to the People’s Heroes, a 120-foot obelisk commemorating fallen Chinese soldiers.
  • Optional Forbidden City and Palace Museum tour: The former home of the Qing and Ming dynasties includes an incredible 800 buildings with thousands of rooms decked out in priceless artwork, antique furnishings, and precious jade (Day 8; $28/person).
  • Optional Great Wall and Sacred Way tour: Don’t pass up a chance to step foot on China’s 4,000-mile landmark, parts of which date back more than 2,000 years (Day 9; $49/person).

Wonderful bargain and perfect trip! We barely lifted a finger our entire trip - all transportation was classy and punctual. Tour guides were excellent. Accommodations were small but safe and clean, breakfasts were delicious. Communication with Affordable World was very good before and during our trip. Excellent for couples but due to the schedule may be difficult to manage with kids.
