Overall a great trip. First-class tour guide (Jill) and local guide (Akiko). Fascinating snapshot of Japan. Group size of 38 was too large, and hotel rooms could get a bit stuffy if no opening window. Otherwise excellent.

Just returned from an absolutely wonderful full on itinerary holiday. Itinerary was varied and with the aid of the local guide who was extremely informative introduced us to new experiences. We had a very good Travel Guide who travelled with us from the start and provided support where needed. Loved the country, so clean, trains ran on time and people we met were friendly and smiling. What more can you ask for in a holiday.

We saw everything we hoped we would and had the expertise of an excellent local guide and tour manager. The trip made full use of all available time on the itinerary schedule. The sights, culture, people, trains and cities all lived up to expectations. The opportunity to eat authentic food each day and to have great hotels to stay in made the trip perfect.
