Best of Kyoto and Beyond

October 1, 2017 - November 30, -0001

Very positive experience. I got the trip that was advertised, the guides were terrific and I was able to relax and enjoy the trip and learn about Japan rather than worry about trip details.

Itinerary

Very good, venues were as in the schedule, good selection and sufficient time at each, also time to walk around places like the Nishi Market and Gion district and also shop.

Lodging

Loved the Sakura hotel and the experience in the Japanese style hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, I would recommend the hotel as a good place to stay. Breakfasts were good also, American for me, and cooked quickly when you came down to eat.

Food

I liked the breakfasts at the hotel and the restaurants we went to for lunch and the goodbye dinner were varied and very high end. Even though I am not a fish/shellfish fan I was very impressed with the quality variety of the meals.

Guides

Both JJ and Amy were very knowledgeable and had prepared information on each venue we visited and had very good English. They were friendly and upbeat even on our rainy days. They answered any and all questions regarding anything we saw in passing on our travels. Great representatives for your company and Japan. Also, please thank Amy for the ticket she gave me to the Wonderland of Buddhist Hell exhibit at the temple museum. The show was enjoyable and informatiive

Pre-Tour Handbook

all information was clear and accurate. I only had a couple of questions which were answered by Mike R and Colorado folks leading up to the trip.
