Mt Gravatt State High School - September 2014
This year was the first time that I took students from the senior history classes to Japan. Having never been to Japan and speaking no Japanese, this would have been an overwhelming experience, if not for Saizen Tours. They were able to organise a fantastic trip, allowing us to visit some of the country’s most important historical sites. The itineraries which they organised were filled with detailed maps, train and bus times, helpful information about our accommodation and the places we were visiting which made it easy for our group to get around.
The students loved being exposed to a different cultural experience and being able to visit the various historical sites that they studied. They were particularly moved by the visit to Hiroshima and meeting an A-bomb survivor.
A big thank you to Rondell and the rest of the Saizen Tours team for all their help organising the tour. The team were always available to answer our questions and were able to deal with any problems we had before and during the trip.

I have used Saizen Tours to plan and organise our last 4 Japanese Study Tours. Kellie and staff are only an email or phone call away and they always answer my huge array of questions. Our itineraries are always comprehensive with maps, contact details and all accommodation is perfect for school groups.
The students love receiving their Saizen bags complete with ticket wallets and information on where we are going. I’ve had students leave things behind at hotels and Saizen have had them sent by courier to our next hotel.
Their efficient service and knowledge of how schools operate takes the burden out of organising an overseas excursion. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone planning a study tour to Japan.
A huge thank you to Kellie and staff at Saizen Tours for their incredible organisation and assistance in planning our 2014 Japan Study Tour.

Helensvale State High School - September 2014
Tremendous thanks to the entire team at Saizen Tours from all of the students of the Helensvale SHS 2014 Japan Study Tour! They all reported that they had an amazing time and that while the historically scenic spots were very memorable, they REALLY enjoyed the theme parks! Your organisation of the group entry passes was fantastic and made things very easy on those days. In addition, the notes that you provided on train times and hotel locations (with maps included) was incredibly helpful.
From the staff that went this year, a special thank you to Rondell for managing all the emails and questions. Your constant support made everything much easier. Thank you also for seeing us off at the airport as well. That was a great start to our trip.
Without your assistance it would not have been such an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Warwick State High School - September 2014
We took 15 students to Japan on the September holidays and had a wonderful time. Our school has had a sister-school relationship with Kumiyama JHS (Kyoto) for nearly 20 years so we started with a 7 night homestay there. We then took the Nozomi Shinkansen to Tokyo where we stayed for 3 nights to enjoy the sights and delights of the capital. We returned home avoiding volcanic eruptions, typhoons and the loss of children and/or belongings.
Thanks must go to the team at Saizen Tours for answering all my questions and delivering a high quality service in a timely and professional way. The hotel, tours, restaurants were enjoyed by all. Until the next trip…
