I liked all the services provided on the tour. Especially the cooperative Tour leaders at each destination. The management has been excellent and everything was well taken care of.
I enjoyed the Big Tour of Spain, Morocco and Portugal. I am pleased with the promises fulfilled, professional guides and pleasant stays during the tour.

I understand that its important to have an enticing list of destinations, but some cities only allowed for a few evening hours. Personally I would have paid extra for a Frecciarossa in order to obtain a few more time.
I liked this tour because of how indepth it was and the amount of historical sites we visited. The bus tour guides where very informatative about each place we visited and where very well organised, also i also liked the amount of local tour guides that where used.

The tour guide was pleasant and well organized. The other passengers were friendly. I was disappointed in the meals. st dinner changed to shabu shabu. Much preferred bim bap, more authentic Korean. We had a buffet one meal and did not like this at all. Then we did not have the Korean beef bbq, but a fish bbq. Would have preferred the beef bbq. Overall the food was of a moderate level of satisfaction for me.
The trip was extremely enjoyable for most part and showed us the urban and rural Japan along with the modern and traditional. We covered tokyo, Mt Fuji, Kyoto,Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima. The guides were quite knowledgeable though we had 3 guides in 9 days Hotels were good except to the Candeo at Osaka and Hiroshima. Rooms were small and claustrophobic. Also there is one day in kyoto where the sightseeing involves a lot of walking Bamboo forest, Tenyurji, Imperial Palace, Fushimi Inari and at the earliest can end by 3. A small snack served o the bus would be very helpful. 6 meals were included in our tour but they were all similar with sukiyaki and sashimi/ tempura. The other cuisines of Japan were left out. Also, 1 or 2 buffet meals with alternate spread may be ok for outsiders. The option for vegan and vegetarian people was limited to tofu which was not expected in this day and age.The trip does say a lot of walking and we came prepared for that, but in many of the locations the time give is insufficient to cover or even see properly. Also, since the tour allows all age groups,the speed of the seniors/ older persons should be kept in mind.

Its very good in all arrangements, punctuality, room accommodation, the guides etc. Very professional.
Area of improvement: it will be appreciated if the trips are planned so that the stops in the city is close to facilities for senior citizens to sit down and relax, who are not capable or interested in shopping and strolling time. Having to wait for 3 to 4 hours during this time without getting a place to sit is tiring.
Our guide, Paco, was fantastic. He knew what he was talking about, gave excellent instructions and suggestions, and had a unique perspective on Japanese culture.
