Hi Whitney,
How are you? I'm so sorry it took a long time for me torespond.
I attached below our pictures from Japan. The background musicthat we choose is A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay.
By the way, could you send my gratitude to Sya-san? I wasn'table to thank him properly last time. I texted him through the contact numberyou gave me, but I think he didn't receive it. Please tell him thank you for his service.
After a lot of mail exchange between us, we were finally able togo to Japan. Thank you, Whitney! It was an amazing experience. I will surely goback to Japan!
Here is our answer to the form you gave me last time.

Aspect | Mark(1-5) | Advice or Remark | |
Travel Consultant | 5 | Everything was smooth. Communication was excellent. | |
Tour Guides | Command of English | 4 | From all the tour guides, Atsushi-san (from Tokyo City Tour) was the best. Overall, all tour guides spoke good English. |

Drivers and Cars | 4 | When we arrived at Narita Airport, we didn't see Sya-san at first (I did not contact him because my sim was not working). So we first went to rent a wifi device 10-15 minutes later, I went back to the entrance part and we met there. When we arrived at the hotel, he made a mistake and mistook another building as Shiba Park Hotel. It was a bit embarrassing since we actually entered the wrong building. There was also a bit of communication problem because he didn't speak much English. Eventually we found Shiba Park Hotel, which was at the back of the building we entered. It was okay, he really did apologise. Of course it would be better if these didn't happen, but all of these are just minor things. We actually feel thankful for his service. | |
Hotels | Location | 4 | All hotels were located really convenient, except maybe Hotel Okada and Shiba Park Hotel. I don't really mind, but my parents prefer if we are near the station. |
Comfort | 4 | Comfortable hotels, but the triple bedroom of Shiba Park Hotel was a bit cramped. | |
Sights or Activities | Worthiness of Visit | 5 | It was fun. It would have been better if we didn't go back to Tokyo on the evening of Day 6 and just stayed at Osaka overnight. We could have exited through Kansai Airport. |

Meals | 5 | Tasty meals! Especially our lunch on Day 2. | |
Public Transportation (train, flight, cruise, etc.) | 4 | On Day 6 when we rode Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo, it would have been better if it was noted that we already had reserved seats. I had to ask the staff from the hotel just to make sure. | |

Overall Score of the Whole Package | 4 | There are some areas for improvement but overall it was worth it. |

The hotel in Kyoto was very old and the rooms were smelly despite being non-smoke. We even asked to be changed and the smell continued.

Really interesting and enjoyable trip.

Yes, but at some point it was too much of temples and sightseen towers, we think we could have include other activities.
Fukuoka and Nagoya could have been skipped and maybe spend one more night in Hakone and Kyoto.

Hi Emma,
We had a great time in Tibet. Thanks!
Flying to Paro today. Everything went very well. So far .Thanks to yourgreat work, & organising .

Hi Emma,
We are all back home safely now & have got into our normal life routine.
1. Theguides in Kathmandu were very good, came to the Airport to pickup all thegroups on time & came to the Hotel with Visa forms, helped us to fill themfast, collected the passports ( they had to come twice, because the flight gotdelayed for one group) & delivered the passports & the group visa ( forTibet) in 2 days, for us to travel to Tibet the next day. They advised uswhat to do & what not to do in Tibet too.
They came to pick us up & drop us back to the Airport, when going &coming to & from Tibet & Bhutan & then to drop us back ( in 2groups) to go home too.
They informed us early about the Cultural show & dinner you have arrangedon our last day, & provided transport for that.
2. The guide inTibet was very good. Went out of his way to help us, advised what to do ¬ to do in hi altitude situation, & looked after us well.
3. The guide in Bhutanwas very good too. Made sure that we are all comfortable & happy.Asked us what we want to see extra, & did that.
The vehicle didn't have Air Conditioning though, would have been better if ithad, because it was very hot those days.
The cultural show & the dinner last night,was really good.
We all enjoyed that.
The hotels overall were good. Considering that we wantedonly 3* & the group didn't want to pay more , just to spend the nights.
Only in Lhasa ,the hotel was very old & few of us hadfew problems in rooms, but the hotel staff managed to sort them out as much asthey could.
We all wants to say Thank you to Emma, Joanna & theNovaland Tours, for organising & customising this tour according to ourplan, & supporting the group all the way till our last day of the tour.
DearDoris,
Ihave filled up the form as below.
Ido not need the photo service.
Imust compliment your excellent service in order to meet my requirements.Actually your website is recommended by my colleague hence I decided to tryout. It has been a wonderful and memorable vacation for my family.
