It was nice to be in group with mixed origins. The itinerary was chalked out nicely. Pick ups and drop offs were punctual. Almost all guides were good, some excellent and a few so so. And Japan as such is a courteous country ??
The availability of Gluten free food should not be left to guides as it’s too late . If Europamundo takes initiatives snd inform all their vendors/hotels, the availability of GF meals and breaks
Fast will be more appropriate. Europamundo should not take Gluten allergy lightly as it’s too late serves customers from Europe, UK, Australia etc
Guides:
Special mention about your guides is important. Asoaka was very cordial, helping and courteous guide.
Ken was extraordinary. It is important for agency to know about Ken, he is full of praise ??other tourist can take benefit of Kens expertise and please pass it on to him as he himself should know feel that we tourist do appreciate GOLD.
Yes Ken is a GOLD guide, an asset to Europamundo, took care of whole of our group, explained things so well and in a very interesting way. We had a particular problem of Gluten allergy, but Ken’s proactive approach to provide Vandana Gluten free meals till we were with him was amazing. Asoaka also helped with the GF meals., and walked extra miles to help us.
The way both Asoaka and more so Ken helped their co-guides on a bilingual tour was amazing. We never felt that they ignored the English speaking tourists and we could see and appreciate that they covered in Spanish the deficiencies of their co-guides in a very polite and nice way.
I know it would be asking too much snd almost impossible, but we do feel that we get such guides always.
Thank you so much
Atul and Vandana
