This was one of the best trips I have been on in years. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind the Chinese people were. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, and probably one of the most knowledgeable I’ve ever had! Nothing was ever too big or too small for him and he’d always recommend additional activities in our spare time. China is like no other Southeast Asia country, and its vast development is fascinating! You get to see the modern day, China, as well as the old historic sites. If you enjoy your food, you will not be disappointed by the options on this trip what makes it even better if you only pay about 6 pounds for a huge dinner!!

Very informative and fast paced. I believe following the tour we had a much better understanding of the Japanese including some of their customs and their way of life. Having an excellent tour guide like we had made the entire tour worthwhile.
Daily departure and arrival timings from hotels should me mentioned in the itinerary. Full details of places to visit and information about the place should be mentioned in the itinerary.

The tour was phenomenal.
I learnt lots of things about Japan in this tour. Also enjoyed all the moments with our peers.
Ken and Nadia are really awesome tour guides. They have all the information I was looking for.
I really recommend this tour to everybody especially because of lovely knowledgeable tour guides. Thank you.
Both David and Pablo were incredible guides. They both had extensive knowledge of the places we went to and they also allowed us to explore by ourselves and gave us time to take photos. Very impressive that they can speak english, spanish and japanese. Both our guides had a great sense of humour and knew how to keep the tour group entertained.
It was a very fun vacation. I enjoyed the small trips that we did with the drums. I enjoyed the pottery. That was great to see. I did the tea which was amazing. It was a great trip and the people that were on the trip with us were fantastic. You should go.
Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guides, we had three over the course of our trip, Michiko, David and Pablo who all gave equal information in both Spanish and English Couldn’t have asked for better guides
