I loved Japan seeing all there was to offer on our trip 🇯🇵. I didn’t like the 4 changes in our tour guides I feel you need to keep the same guides for the whole trip. I understand not all the people go to all the places but it would be nice to have the same group the whole way in the tour.

The trip was absolutely fantastic. Well organized, tours were uniquely interesting. Although all the tour guides were excellent, special mention must be made of Ken Estevez who went over an above his call of duty to assist us with various aspects of the tour. His knowledge of Japan, its culture and religious belief systems is highly commendable. Ken was able to answer questions and give a clear narrative of important information not only verbally but through well thought out appropriate media presentations. He truly is an asset to the company.

The trip was well organised and the two guides - Spanish/Portugese and English - were very good, giving us adequate information and assistance. Overall, a most enjoyable visit.
Pros: The itinerary was executed very well, saw many places in a very short time period. Our 2nd guide, Jose was very knowledgeable about the places we visited.
Cons: This tour was mainly geared towards to Spanish speaking people, the English speaking tourists in the group felt left out. The guides spoke Spanish most of the time, not enough contents in English, especially on the tour from Copenhagen to Stockholm, the Spanish guide, Tony, talked way too much than the English guide Ricardo, and We had trouble to understand his English too. From Stockholm to Norway and back to Copenhagen, we were on a different bus with a different guide, Jose. The speakers on the bus only worked on some seats and the quality was very poor, very difficult to make out what Jose was saying, And Jose was speaking too close to the microphone, which made it worse.

David Solanes is one of the best tour guides we have ever had and we have taken at least 25 tours. He was very professional, funny, attentive, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. Paco out of Tokyo was also great - he went above and beyond to accommodate our request to upgrade to first class on bullet train and made sure we are all ok during the train rides. The only thing that was tough was the monastery stay. Info from travel agent indicated it was an option but was not. It would have been better if there was a hotel option for the convenience of people who can’t rough it.
