Savor & Soak Travel Co.Reviews of savorandsoak.com

Savor-and-soak is a boutique travel agency specializing in Japan. Service is very personalized. I did a marathon trip hitting Karuizawa, Kanazawa, Lake Biwa, Furashiki, Naoshima, Okayama, and Nara in nine days. Everything was clearly outlined, train tickets were prepurchased,and reservations confirmed. She was able to arrange special events like a falconry experience and tea ceremony in Kanazawa. I stayed in ryokans mostly, which are typically tiny and hard to reserve. Because Japan is such a hot ticket, some hotels were not available to travel agents. Adeline had no objection if I snagged a preferred ryokan or hotel reservation through a consolidator, rather than take a room in a less desirable location. Pricing of hotels and activities was transparent and I was able to prepay a lot of it before I left (nice on the credit card), and the rest in Japan. The cost for her services was very fair. I plan to use savor-and-soak for my next Japan adventure.

Adeline, the owner of Savor and Soak put together an amazing personal trip for my wife and I in October of 2024 for 2 weeks.Her approach in arranging a private guided tour including phone calls , texts , emails and videos allows you to make choices for your individual tastes of what ,where and how you wish to experience Japan. This all can be accomplished within the time and the budget you choose. We based our trip in Tokyo and Kyoto and the mountains near Kanazawa with trips to surrounding cities and countryside.Based on our wishes, She scheduled transport including the bullet train and car service from the airport and on individual dates of travel. We had guided tour guides during most days, who were excellent. We saw bucket list locations , ate in all different style restaurants, did a cooking class , rolled our own sushi , had a geisha show etc. if you are traveling to Japan and want a seamless experience, I highly recommend Savor and Soak.

Adeline helped create an amazing holiday for me, my husband, and our two boys aged 14 and 16. Her advice and suggestions were invaluable. Accomodation was located in amazing places, close to transport and attractions. She was helpful, accessible and really made organising our holiday in Japan - which I wasn’t familiar with - way less stressful. I highly recommend her.

Adeline help me with the itinerary, because this is my first experience travelling only with my daughter. Especially the train tickets. All of the tickets was sent to my first hotel. Its easy, i can enjoy the trip without worry about the transportation. She’s very detail and the trip was great! Thank you Adeline.

Amazing experience for our trip to Japan. Made an itinerary that exactly matched everything we'd hoped for. All this was done in pretty short notice, less than a month prior to our trip. Will recommend Adeline to everyone I meet traveling to Japan.

Adeline planned a remarkable two-week family trip to Japan with our 10 and 4-year-olds. She is a careful listener with an abundance of ideas and recommendations that are outside anything we could have planned on our own. She struck the perfect balance between historical and pop culture activities to keep the whole family engaged. We traversed much of the country by train and she had all our tickets purchased in advance and delivered to our first hotel. Adeline has personally been to so many of the places she recommends and she writes about them in a way that makes it feel like she’s there guiding you. The app she used for our itinerary was incredibly user-friendly and easy to reference. I wish there was an expert like Adeline to plan our trip to every destination!

If you would like have a well organized and fun trip to the land of the rising sun, Savor & Soak is THE travel company! I approached Adeline with a specific request regarding my trip to Japan. She was quick to respond, and with very little communication and literally no effort on my end, she delivered precisely what I needed for my vacation. While I was in Japan, everything ran smoothly and she checked on me to ensure this was the case. Adeline even walked the extra mile by suggesting a whole list of interesting places and cafes to visit. Coming from someone who used to live in Japan and is familiar with local spots, this information was helpful in avoiding super touristy places while providing unique experiences. Thank you so much, Savor & Soak!
