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.

I think it was a lot of fun exploring different cities with a bunch of other travelers who were open to new ideas/experiences. Amie did a great job guiding us through this fast paced tour of Japan.

I thought the Japan tour was going to be a good trip but it exceeded all my expectations. The sights were wonderful, clean and unique. Japan is a beautiful country and the places we saw we visited were incredible. Each day had its own WoW moments and they were breath taking. The places we were taken to were highlights and each different which we appreciated. Jamie the tour leader was always there and helped so much. Japan can be hard to navigate but it was made simple and fun. The day were constant but not rushes or exhausting and flowed to enhance the trip. The bus driver and Jamies assistant on the tour were also so helpful and kind. I have been on 7 Expat tours and this ranks as one of if not the best trips I have taken and I highly recommend it.

Have been on many guided tours in the world. This tour tops them all. A couple from Canada made our group feel uncomfortable by being demanding and rude sometimes. Min did a great PR job. Sculpture Park was amazing, especially the Picasso Museum. Seeing cherry blossom for the first time with Mountains of snow in background was a plus. Trying and tasting the local food was a gastronomical experience. With a small group I and the others received personalized attention. I have a problem with heights and stairs. I was lucky to have Min's arm to guide me so I did not feel apprehensive or falter. Where would you like to visit next?: Not sure, but I don't like cruising. Only land travel. Congrats to your travel firm for such a wonderful experience to Japan. Special thanks to Min.

We enjoyed every minute of it. It combined a wealth of opportunites to get closer to an understanding of the Japanese view of life with many of the 'must see' sites. Add to that the exposure to a fantastic cuisine and a great bunch of fellow travelers, and what more could you ask for?
