China: fantastic trip, saw the sites, are good food, learned, Howard was top notch, pace and transport was perfect and all well-timed
Japan: Hidemi was great but there was too much trudging in the rail / metro system. Koyasan and Hakone were not worth it in my opinion for the amount of work it took to get there.

The trip was great, couldn't ask for a better tour. Cherry Blossom season is the time to go as the scenery is just beautiful. The Japanese people are as friendly as you could want. Jamie and Kanako made a great team that worked very well together to make sure we had such a good time. This trip will go back on my list of trips I want to do in next few years because I liked it so much.
