I recently had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Japan with World Vegan Travels. As someone who has been vegan for over 40 years, I still often find it challenging to navigate food options while traveling. That’s what inspired me to try a vegan travel company for the first time—and I can truly say I was completely blown away.
Brighde and Sebastian, the tour organizers, are deeply passionate about animals, and that love is reflected in every detail of this thoughtfully curated experience. From the moment I booked my trip to the time I arrived in Japan, everything felt seamless and first-class. Their care and attention went far beyond expectations.
Even though I arrived a few days early, they stayed in touch—sending me personalized recommendations of places to visit, lists of vegan restaurants, photos of snacks available at local markets, and even tips on where to shop. That level of thoughtfulness made me feel supported even before the tour officially began.
The hotels they selected were excellent, and the food throughout the trip was simply outstanding. At no point did we have to worry about finding vegan options—they provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and often surprised us with delicious snacks during the day, even in the middle of sightseeing. Many of our dinners were beautifully presented multi-course meals, often accompanied by live performances, which added such a rich cultural dimension to the experience.
This truly was the trip of a lifetime.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our wonderful guides—Bianca, Alina, Yuske, and Sachiko. Bianca warmly welcomed me at the airport, and Alina went above and beyond by staying at the hotel for hours just to see me off. Their kindness and dedication made a lasting impression.
Last but certainly not least, a special thank you to Coleen Patrick-Goudreau, the host of our trip. Her radiant smile, compassionate and friendly nature, and deep knowledge of the culture and language made this journey even more meaningful and memorable.
I am deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience.
