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.
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.
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

Feedback for the Trip Guides
David
David was truly exceptional. His kindness, the valuable information he shared, and his genuinely funny and uplifting spirit made the experience unforgettable. He created a comfortable atmosphere and added a special touch to every moment of the trip.
Jesus
Jesus went above and beyond. His support continued all the way until the end of my trip — even on his day off. This level of dedication and care shows how committed he is to ensuring guests feel supported at every step. I am genuinely grateful for his help.
Martin
Martin showed a remarkable act of kindness when he gave me and my wife his umbrella on a cold winter day. This simple gesture meant a lot to us and reflects his thoughtful character. We truly appreciated his care and consideration.
The trip was different to the tours I have used before in that the majority of fellow travellers were Spanish speaking and different people joined and left the group on different days. I have only used English speaking tour companies in the past with the same group of travellers from beginning to end. Also there were no optional excursions, welcome meeting, farewell dinner or group photo which is customary with most tour companies. The attraction of Europamundo, however, was its competitive pricing and variety of itineraries. For 2 days of my 4 day tour there were other English speakers (maximum 5) but I was the only one on the last 2 days of my tour which was a strange experience for me and not something I would have been happy about for more than a couple of days. Having said all of that though, my fellow travellers were friendly and I was able to communicate with them in my broken Spanish with a couple of them speaking some English. The positives about this tour were the value for money, the itinerary which was extensive, packing in a lot and the guides. The English speakers were provided with a separate tour guide which was great as our group was so small and eventually just me! The guide in Seoul, Symon Park was excellent and very helpful with tips and advice. He gave us (the English speakers) his number and told us to get in touch with him even for advice even after he left the tour in Seoul. My guide So He who joined in Busan and was with us for the rest of the trip was also very knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about Korean history and details about all the sites we visited from her.
