This was the trip of a lifetime! The itinerary had the perfect mix of traditional and modern activities as well as gave sufficient free time to explore as a family. The CEO?s Kyoko & Tina were wonderful and felt like family by the end of the tour. The accommodations were superb and were in very convenient locations directly next to Local Train Stations. It was difficult to find a family vacation that met all our expectations, and this one has exceeded them! We can?t wait to book another National Geographic Vacation through G Adventures.
