Which Country (Countries) did you visit on this trip?

Japan

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Himanthi was a pleasure to work with. I communicated with her on the phone and via email and together we crafted the perfect trip for our family. The trip was the best mix of cultural experiences, sight seeing and free time. Our in-country guides were kind, knowledgeable, and personable. We felt so comfortable with each of them and we hated to see our vacation end!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We really enjoyed our afternoon meeting a Meiko in Kyoto. In addition, our evening spent making nigiri and tomago while sampling sake was great as well. The public transportation was easy to navigate and our itinerary was so thoughtfully planned with tickets, reservations and time tables. There was little guess work for us.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would add more days to the itinerary. There was just not enough time to see everything!

Travel Company Comments:

Thank you so much for this review. I really enjoyed working on your itinerary and glad you and your family had a good time. Guides all loved taking you around and they were quite amazed and excited to see how interested you were all to learn and understand the culture and traditions in Japan.
Please feel free to get in touch again if you ever plan another trip to Japan.
Many thanks
Himanthi
