Hello Alice – we are having a great time. And are enjoying the tours. In particular, our guide Yoshi in Nagasaki was wonderful.
10-03:
Alice - we did our tour yesterday. Ourguide was great and he had to wait over 2 hours for us to clear immigrationbefore we could get to him.
The public transportation was fine - oneperson did not leave the ship at all because of all the touring we had alreadydone. The other person who had problems walking only did part of the tour andtook a taxi back. So it worked just fine.
Thank you.
Hi Whitney,
For some reason I can't enter the information directly into the form inthe email. I will provide my 'ratings' below.
Travel Consultant - I presume that is you. My score is '5'. Ifound you exceptionally easy to work with. You were incredibly flexiblewith our many changes both before and during the tours. You were veryunderstanding about the need for us to pay separately and set up individualpaypal charges, which I am sure was time consuming for you.
Tour guides - command of English - generally '4'.
Tour guides - knowledge of subjects - generally '4'. Our Tokyo andKyoto tour guides were excellent and should get a '5'.
Tour guides - ability to explain - generally '4'.
Tour guides - attitude - generally '4'. I found our Mt Fuji tourguide to be only a '3', but I think others on the tour would rate him morehighly.
Tour guides - flexibility- All were '5', excellent.
Driver and cars - '5' for all locations. The vans were in goodcondition and the drivers were excellent.
Hotels - does not apply to our tours
Sights - worthiness of visit - Mt. Fuji and Busan were a '4'; Kyotoand Tokyo a '5'. Aomori was a '3', in large part due to the fact that there wasnot much to see there from a touring perspective. The guide was willingto add a trip to the Art Museum, but several members of the group did not wantto participate in that activity.
Sights - met your interests - Busan was a '4'; Kyoto and Tokyo a '5'.Aomori was a '3' because there wasn't much to see, and so was Mt Fuji,primarily because we were not able to see all of the scheduled sites for Mt.Fuji
Sights - Too tight orloose - Most schedules were tight.Hi Whitney,
Thank you so muchfor all that you did to ensure we had the best tour! Satoru was wonderfuland if we are ever back in Tokyo again I would like to contact you for another tour.

Travel Consultant | 5 | Satoru was a wonderful guide! He patiently waited for our late arrival in port and kept me well informed by text message about where and when he would meet us. He had also been in contact with me the day prior to confirm what we would like to see and that all our needs would be met. He was extremely helpful with 3 of our group who were using a baggage transfer, something that would not normally be a part of the tour! | |

Thank you so much Alice! You are the best! Wehad such a great experience with your tour guides! You also picked the bestplaces for us to go!
Everyone was on time very prompt andcourteous! They are also very knowledgeable. Only one guide(Ryoji Shimada) was not as inspired the guy who toured us in Kyotoseemed to be tired as he slept a lot on the bus on the way back to the ship! Healso didn't explain much and didn't seem to have good communication with thedriver. He was just a tad lazy to explain things. Knowing this, Ihad to ask so many questions along the way so he would be prompted to explainor discuss the places that we were going. Sometimes, he would google when Iasked him. lol
The best was Hirois Shimizu, so inspiring, motivated, personable and so passionate about herwork, I want to do her job! Haha she also introduced us to 7-11 fine diningsince we were pressed for time. Yummy! I love their $1.00 Onogiri so good I caneat 2 of them.
Ayumi , our tour guide in our Tokyo all day tour was alsovery good and she brought us to this amazing restaurant that was so good, Ibeginning to love chicken again. OMG that meal was so memorable, you should askyour guides to bring all your guests there. The price was just about$20.00, chef choice menu and so abundantly served! I''m giving our guide an A+++for that alone.
Jade at Busan and Hidefrom Kamakura Yokohama tour were also amazing.
They brought us to great restaurants servingreasonably priced but great local meals!! So enjoyable!
All in all, we love your tours my group matesalso enjoyed it! You can check our pictures at geocast.smugmug.com or I can forward you the link Just a warning, myhusband took so much pics of our trip! And the files are so big!
By the way, I want to fill up the form but howdo I type on it?
Thanks again!
Rosana
