The other passengers were very nice. The tour itself was jam packed and I enjoyed everything there was to offer. I was always exhausted at the end of the day but I knew it was well worth it because we were getting the most out of our time spent in Japan

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.
