East Asia Countryside and village visits Trips

I love Eastern Europe for it’s fairy tale landscape specially Cesky Krumlov Picturesque Old town, I love Krakow , historic heart of Krakow is the Old town, The Danube cruise , a relaxing way to experience Europe’s culture and history And my most memorable birthday celebration in a mansion in Vienna Austria’s most famous restaurant where we were transported into another world once inside! I celebrated my birthday in two countries, morning at Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic and Vienna , Austria in the afternoon. Berlin, Dresden Prague are all time favorites, too I had a great time, indeed!

The Splendors of Japan tour offers a beautiful and widely scoped experience starting from the busy, metropolis that is Tokyo, right down to the wonderful introspective serenity that can be found in smaller spaces like Japan's Kotohira area. This is contrasted further by somber and sobering moments in places like Hiroshima, while time spent in Mt. Fuji helps us reflect on the brightest things in life. Japan and this tour is truly a unique introductory experience to the country that ensures we'll return there one day to enjoy even more that this unique place offers its visitors.

Excellent tour. Saw everything we wanted to see and more. The guide was great, the coach comfortable, and the accommodations were centrally located and top notch for the most part. Enjoyed the optional excursions except felt a bit rushed at times trying to fit it all in. All in all, it was a trip to remember!

There was a great balance of directed tour time and time to explore on our own. Both the Tour Director and all the local guides were well informed and interesting, and fun too. We took all of the optional experiences and we're glad we did as they were fabulous! Even with that we had time to sit in cafes or wander and experience Italy on our own.

This was our second tour with Erwin as our leader. Erwin has planned an excellent itinerary with the 4 nights in Avignon and 3 nights in Pernes-les-Fontaines. Each ride was different and the destinations were stunning. Even the stops on the way were stunning. Erwin really cares about how everyone is doing. His patience is a wonder to behold. Lots of laughs and lots of great memories.

Miquel is a lovely guy, knows what he is doing, is fun to be with and is a great leader. He looked after us like a mother hen, showed us some beautiful sites and worked like a Trojan to make sure those under his care had a really good time.. Everyone enjoyed themselves, we gelled well as a group and I am really happy to have made some new friends all of whom would agree that we could not have asked for a better companion / leader than Miquel.
