When we reached Tokyo, no one from Europamundo came to receive us. After about 1.5hrs. someone came took us to the Hotel in public Transport we dragged our bags. All 3 of us are senior citizens.
Evening next day we were taken around Tokyo in a public transport. Very tiring. We need to be compensated as we had paid for a private tour.
The visit to the Imperial Palace grounds in TOKYO KYOTO is waste of time as the Palaces are closed we just walk in the grounds - nothing to see.
The itinerary gave us no free time.
The Guides - all of them were superb very helpful.
