Meeting new people from different parts of the world and traveling with them to different places and learning about the beautiful and unique culture of japan with the help of two incredible guides,i.e., Mr Reigutsu and Mr. David is what i liked most about the tour. Both of them were excellent guides and being in their company was truly enjoyable.
Brilliant Central Highlands + Sirigiya Tour. My parents, husband and I booked a private tour with Aitken Spence to travel to Sirigiya and the Central Highlands for a 5 day 6 night trip and we couldn't be more pleased. From start to finish the whole tour was very well organized thanks to a great organizer and great driver-guide Kusum who was very helpful and approachable throughout the trip. He was also very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and was able to answer almost every question we asked him about the country! He was also, most importantly, a very safe driver who was highly skilled at driving (a useful skill when navigating the narrow roads of the central highlands). Aitken Spence also booked us in on some of the most amazing hotels we've ever stayed at. The lake views and amazing room upgrade at Heritance Kandalama was particularly memorable. The service and atmosphere at the Heritance Tea Factory, located inside a tea plantation, was also unforgettable. 98 Acres, facing Little Adam's Peak, gave us a wonderful sunrise and star gazing opportunity. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend it.
I was a solo traveler and thought that the guide and the driver, were excellent. Guide had so much knowledge to share and was willing to accommodate my particular interested and needs. They were kind and I felt like I could just relax and go for the ride. I learnt so much about Balinese culture, spirituality, the history of the Island and the natural environment. Which is exactly what I was wanting. Would recommend.
The other passengers were very nice. The tour itself was jam packed and I enjoyed everything there was to offer. I was always exhausted at the end of the day but I knew it was well worth it because we were getting the most out of our time spent in Japan
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.

From the moment Sam picked us up from the airport, nothing was too much trouble for him. if he could make your stay better he would. He offered advice and local knowledge but was never over the top. As a guide he was familiar with and had a real passion for his country. The weather was bad in the south of the country for our first week, so Aitken Spence changed our itinerary so we went northeast first and south the second week, meaning we missed the rain. How many companies would do that? I recommend this company and Sam.
I have never been to Indonesia before. This trip was very well organised from start to finish. On the 10th day we drove from Kuta to Uluwatu, where we visited the beautiful temple surrounded by hundreds of monkeys, which are considered the protectors of the locals. One of the monkeys had his mobile phone taken away by someone in our group and our tour guide went to incredible lengths to make sure he got it back. The tour guide was also very competent and always helpful. The accommodation and food were also very good. All in all, a successful trip.
