Lily,

I write to thank you for helping me visit Kasuga. The guide you arranged for me was so very good. She was a pleasure to spend time with. She had done a good deal of research--both with logistics and with the history of the place. It was an exceptional day for me.

With appreciation,

Dorothy

Hi,

 

Thanks for you help with the trip, I have return the wifi box in the post as requested.

 

Here is some feedback on the trip

 

Pickup very smooth, driver could not find the hotel and this took some time.

First hotel good location, and good hotel.

 

Guide for the first days tour, she has ok, to flexible to requests.  She stated that the topur organizer had specified which park we should be taken to.  The park was 50 minutes away, and once we got there we were told we only had 90 minutes to stay so we should get the train around the park.  With retrospect a park closer to where we were staying would have been better, because we spent over 2 hours getting to and from this park, which was wasted time.  Also the tour guide did not have a phone so could not look up train times etc. so we spent a lot of time getting the right tickets and trains because she had to keep checking.  Afternoon was smoother once we returned to the city centre.

 

Mount Fuji tour was good, and transfer to the hotel was smooth.

 

Bullet train very easy and most enjoyable.

 

The cherry blossom tour in Kyoto was very good.

 

The full day tour of Kyoto was very bad.  We spend 2 hours picking up people then went to the first location for 20 minutes only, which was only a 30 minute walk from our hotel.  There we went to 3 other locations, all very busy, and with 58 people on the tour again we spent more time on the bus that at any of the attractions.  The lunch was the worst part.  We arrived, the food was average, it took 20 minutes to get any food, and then we had 10 minutes to eat before getting back on the bus.  The tour leader was in my opinion poor.  We then left the tour as did half of the other people, the afternoon covered 2 of the same attractions as the blossom tour.  I would recommend you don’t use this tour again.

 

Rest of the trip was good.

 

Airport return we were dropped off at the wrong terminally and had to make our own way across the airport, we have plenty of time, but this is not what I expected in a airport transfer.

 

Overall a good trip.

 

Thank you

NLT-180322-DJ93816 [Apr 2, 2018]
Dear Siva- thank you very much for your assistance. Everything was well organised and we were able to cover all the places and activities that we intended to. We are now at the airport and will soon be boarding our return flight...the trip went very well and we are very grateful to you.


regards
Aditi and Rahul and the kids!

Dear Yang,

I just want to say thank you for arranging a really wonderful day tour. Our tour guide Mr. Jade Kim was absolutely fantastic. We had a great day with him despite the rainy weather. From the beginning to end, he was top notch. Our Busan tour was a definite highlight of our trip and we cannot wait to recommend him and Tours Novaland to our friends.

Thank you again and we hope to do another tour with your company in the future.

Sincerely,
Len Alvarez

Hi Doris,

 

Thank you for all the updates. Sorry that I didn’t response because I was busy with the kids during the trip. Since my husband got all the contacts and updates through the tour guide via WeChat, so I didn’t bother to check the emails.

 

Kyoto tour guide is fine as she was very helpful throughout the trip. I did made a mistake to stop at Kyoto instead of Osaka directly from Odawara because my husband and some of our tour members didn’t like to go to the tourist spot. So we have wasted the travelling time from Kyoto to Osaka.

 

Nevertheless, we have a great time in USJ and too bad that our schedule is tight. If not, I would like to spend more time in Hakone because the place is really beautiful.

 

Thank you very much. I would definitely plan another trip with you guys again.

 

Please send my regards to our tour guides and drivers in Japan and tell them that they are awesome!

 

Regards,

Pei Li

Saeki Noriko55555Great job adjusting the schedule for an additional stop in shopping! Also, excellent work in trying to teach/practice the language with me and explaining the history. Transportation went smoothly with her knowledge of the rails.
Rauf Jefura54555Would have liked to have spent a little longer in Edo Wonderland, some of the activities seemed fun, but we were short of time. He tried his best to accommodate my needs and hunt for souvenirs!
Tanaka Masaaki55555Excellent teacher of the language and history. Great food recommendations.
Mr. Takehiko O-zumi55455Car was a little larger than necessary for my needs, but he does accommodate the special needs. I definitely appreciate this! His knowledge of the area and roads was dependable.
Kigami Masako55455Struggled a little with explanations, but she does know it as I had to define my own questions better. With more experience she will be a great guide! She also looked into finding a place that would give a smaller lunch as I do not eat the large portions. I really appreciate not having to waste food.

Hotel GranviaKyoto5Good hotel, staff was very helpful in getting my packages mailed home.
The Prince HakoneHakone4Hotel was spread out with long walks to get to the rooms, took a bit to find my way around. Staff did not speak English very well when questioned, but after some time they were able to understand the point.
Sheraton GrandHiroshima4Great staff, but the room did not appear to be in great shape with peeling wallpaper. The bathroom cleanliness could have been improved.
The Westin OsakaOsaka5My favorite hotel on the trip. The staff were incredibly accommodating and surprised me with a birthday treat on my stay there. They also stored my luggage for when I made the journey to Hiroshima and back for a day.

MarkRemarks
Public Transportation5Hardly any waiting, timing by guides and trains was exceptional. It would be nice if the ticket costs could be decreased.
Other AspectJR PASSWould have been helpful to obtain not just the pass, but the reserve seat tickets at the same time. Had to stand in line on 2 different days that would have been spent sight-seeing. The wait was not too long for me, but I could see how this can easily impact other travelers on busy days.
Other AspectPhoneOn one other trip I went on, I was provided a cell phone that had all emergency numbers and contacts with the tour company logged in. I thought it was a great idea as there were no additional fees to worry about and every contact was made readily available without having to look them up.
Other AspectCoin PurseThis was a very useful item to me on this trip. It was also very cute!

Konichiwa Emma,

The tour is going very well so far, Osamu (Sam) is wonderful. We missed seeing a couple of things on the itinerary because of being unable to find a parking spot and running out of time. But Sam made up for this by taking us to different places, which was good.
Thank yo for providing us with the drivers information for Hiroshima.
Will talk again soon.
Regards, Chris
