What Our Travellers Say About Us
Japan Tour Testimonials
I am still recovering from the most incredible tour of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the surprises and your efforts to collate such tremendous numbers of them, all without a hitch. How do you do it? I was very impressed with the number of attractions you managed to fit into the time. A surprise around every corner. Seriously, I could not be happier, satisfied, impressed and confident it could not be bettered. My highlights: 95% of the trip. (The other 5% was missing a real proper Coffee, but that was OK!)
Victor
We can’t thank you enough for organising such an amazing holiday. The places we saw, the things we did, the accommodation and food were all fabulous. It is hard to pick a favourite but a highlight was definitely the mystery day. What a treat and not something everyone gets to do while in Japan. Mt Fuji was another wonderful experience and we were so incredibly lucky to have several days where we had absolutely clear views of this world heritage site.
Julie & Ross
Lesley and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Japan due very much to your skills in putting together a trip which gave us great insight into the country and its culture. You enabled us to be part of some lifetime experiences such as the dinner with Maiko which was incredible as were a number of the other dining experiences. Your even tempered approach especially in some trying circumstances was much appreciated and your calmness in shepherding the group through train and bus stations gave us all confidence to give it a go on our days off. Thanks again and we would thoroughly recommend the trip to others - it really exceeded our expectations.
Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the wonderful tour you organised and the friendly and professional manner in which you navigated the busy schedule and occasional challenge. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by dad and I.
