Tokyo river cruise was disappointing. We would have skipped if we knew what it was like. We were disappointed we couldn’t see the Imperial palace grounds. But fish mkt was amazing.

My Korean Dream Trip
Spent many months organizing my trip with Amina who was great! Everything worked like clock work, trains, air, and guides. This was a private tour, Seoul, Busan, Jeju as I was traveling Solo. The guides were all friendly, helpful, and fun. I will be looking at other Novaland Tours

[15:28, 27/09/2023] VJ129181 John: Hello Doris, again tour was enjoyable with lots of walking. Now in hotel tired but happy. Both tour guides excellent.

[16:53, 08/10/2023] VJ129181 John: Thanks for the pickup info. This is a holiday weekend in Japan and traffic was terrible, took 5 hours to reach Hakone so decided to shorten some visits. No criticism of our guides Sat and Sun both were excellent.

Hi Doris,

We had a whirlwind, once in a lifetime, Japan adventure!

A trip like ours take months to plan and seemingly minutes to enjoy, it went by fast.

It was fabulous and exhausting! We saw a lot, yet there was so much more to see.

Because everything was only in Japanese, (street signs, attractions, tours, etc...) it was difficult to navigate without a guide or familiarity.

We appreciated our guides giving us a well-rounded experience, teaching us customs and protocol, educating us on history, culture and tradition, pointing out and explaining the architecture and practices, introducing us to culinary delights, sharing tips on where to eat and shop and getting us around.

For us, the beauty and traditional experiences were the best!

Tokyo's shrine park.

Hakone with the ryokan, onsen and kimonos.

Kyoto with its shogun history, castles, pavillions, temples and geisha show.

Osaka for its beautiful castle and grounds and shrines.

Thanks for your help in creating our wonderful adventure!

Since we were going to the Philippines with flights via Tokyo, we decided to spend 8 days in Japan. This was decided just several weeks before our departure date and I had no idea what I wanted to see and do and how to travel in Japan and the language barrier was a bit scary. But Joanna from Novaland was really quick in organizing our trip. Within a week, everything was organized and booked. She first suggested a sample itinerary with places to visit just a few hours after I had sent the request and, from there, we made some modifications based on our preferences and budget. Being a group of 4, Joanna recommended private tours and private drivers which we really appreciated. We were also able to get French-speaking guides for our city tours. Hotels booked were really good. Good variety of visits in Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Hakone areas, Kyoto and Osaka. We took subways, buses and trains which allowed us to see the people. Thank you to our drivers: Young, Law and Ho San; vans were always very comfortable and clean. And a big thank you to our guides: Toshiyuki Kaba in Tokyo, Yuki Eddie Mitani (driver and guide in Mount Fuji and Hakone areas), and Tassan (Tatsuko Sannami) in Kyoto and Osaka. They were excellent and made us discover Japan. I have experienced many guided tours with large groups. But this was my first experience having private tours just for the four of us and I would definitely do it again and I would definitely do it with Novaland again. The planning and the follow-up prior and during our trip by Joanna was excellent; the 3 times we had to get hold of her, she responded within a few minutes. We were provided a WiFi device so we could use WhatsApp to be in touch with Joanna and the drivers and guides whenever needed. Everybody was always on time (and even earlier) and accommodating. Travelling with Novaland was a GREAT experience!
