Good tour with lots of places, but I suggest to add some excursions about traditional crafts such as calligraphy, pottery, forging, making noodles and other interesting special places.

The hotels and planed activities were great, transportation as well. I saw a lot in this trip and had lots of great new experiences. What I did not expect was that most of the group would be spanish speakers and the english speakers to be a small minority. Also the tour guides were pretty mixed. Btw I can’t really rate them since only the spanish speaking guides are showing up In general I had the feeling that the native spanish speaking guides were interacting more with the spanish group and a bit less with the english group. It seemed otherwise with the native Japanese guides Akane and Ken, but it might be due to the small english group on the trip compared to the spanish speakers.
Also some guides like “Pacco” or Miguel gave us very little background Information to the visited sites compared to other guides. But I was really happy with our Guide Ken whom I had for most of the trip, so I don’t feel bad about it.
Thank you very much for a great time

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.

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.
We spent 4 days in Pingyao and it was an awesome experience! A big thank you to TUI China who organised our trip there and to our local tour guide! You were awesome! You gave us a great experience. Keep up the great work!!
