Full description

This is a 3-day experience in Hanoi. It is run by Frontier hostel company limited, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Airport transfers in Japan compete with excellent trains: Narita Express and the Keisei Skyliner from Narita, the monorail and Keikyu line from Haneda, and the Haruka from Kansai airport to Kyoto. A private transfer earns its price with luggage, late arrivals after the last train around midnight, families, and hotels away from stations. Drivers meet at arrivals with a name board, and Japanese cars have small boots, so state the number of large suitcases when booking. Tolls are included in most quotes; confirm.

The price covers 2X NIGHTS AT HOMESTAY FAMILY DORM STYLE, 3X BREAKFAST, 3X LUNCH, 2X DINNER and HOT/COLD DRINKS AT SCHEDULED STOPS BOTTLED WATER. It does not cover Apart from the items included, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Frontier hostel company limited sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Frontier hostel company limited before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
