Dear Joanna
We arrived back home in KL safely onFriday night.
Thanks for the wonderful trip arrangedfor us. We got through very well on our own with the taxi on Thursday. Weenjoyed ourselves very much with the street food and shopping at Myeongdong! Wewould rate this trip of ours 10/10. The tour guide given to us, Mr Young and MrFred was excellent. I would highly recommended my friends and family members totravel with Novaland – flexible, very helpful and accommodative!
Thank you for the patience with us andvery appreciative with the effort you have put it to make this a memorable tripfor us.
Well done Joanna!!!!
Thank you.
Best regards,

Travel Consultant | 5 | Very responsive and a reason I chose the company | |
Tour Guides | Command of English | 2 and 3 | Our first tour guide (Fuji) was a bit hard to understand and our second (Kyoto) was better. I think it might be difficult to get a strong English speaker in Japan vs other countries, such as China |

Too Tight of Too Loose? | A bit too tight | We enjoy a more leisurely pace, taking photos, but felt sometimes rushed | |
Meals | 4 |
| |
Public Transportation (train, flight, cruise, etc.) | 2 | The guide on our first day was not aware of our JR pass and as a result we did not allocate the right amout of time - missed the train and made for a long and exhausting day. 2nd guide was more aware of train schedule | |
Any Other Aspect |
| The sights were quite good and location of hotels were excellent. Appreciate Alice's prompt replies. Guides were ok - not the best we have had, but perhaps due to availability vs other countries. Also they rushed a bit and we wanted to stop more to look around - it was sometimes hard for my older parents to keep up. |
Hi Siva,
Im still on my way back.
Overall the tourguide is very punctual, helpful and well manner. She took good care of my mum and my youngest son. The only minor improvement would be a better chinese speaking. We sometimes still find difficulties in communicating in chinese as im speaking malaysia chinese and she speaks chinese dialect from china.
I will definitely consider your tourguide service on my next trip to cambodia in november.
Regards
Lee
able to adjust. I would like to commend our guides Elvis in Seoul, Mina and Michelle in Busan . They were all friendly and

Sara we are backfrom our Japan trip.
I have come back with many sweet memories of Japan30years back.
Your all arrangements were absolutely upto themark except Tokyo guide and Tokyo transporter.
Tokyo guide mr Tanaka was a s a person very nicebut dod not prove to be good guide.
Selection of Tokyo indian restaurant at such a farplace which was a take away place only made things worse. we had to omitcertain itinerary because of that and I know very well about regulationsover there but the transporter ran away with all belongings including ourmedicines and passport. Our guide should have at least collected those valuablesfrom bus.
All other arrangements were fantastic without anyany hussels.
I must compliments you for your efforts andpatience and thank you very much for the same.
Your arranged osaka transporter mr Um and Beppuguide Ms. Kiyota were beyond expactation. They both were caring.
Hope to contact you for some next trip soon.
Hi Doris,
We had a great time. Both Mr. Dong and Mr. Tanaka are very nice and helpful. Especially, Mr Tanaka has very good knowledge about each attraction. He explained in details and we have learned so much from him. We are very grateful and appreciated very much of his information he provided us today.
Overall, our trip is memorable.
Thank you,
Cindy

Hello, Siva,
I wanted to let you know that we are home now and that wehave had a wonderful time in Korea! Mr. Young was a wonderful host and wewere surprised and pleased with his hospitality! He even made breakfastfor us for our ride to the airport this morning! What a considerate thingto do! I had no idea that he would provide so many services for us andwas more than helpful. Many thanks to you for introducing us to him andto him for all he had done for us! I will heartily recommend NovalandTours to anyone who plans to travel to Asia!
It has been a pleasure working with you. I want tolet you know that for my daughter, Hannah, this trip has been an enlighteningexperience to discover more about her Korean legacy and the circumstances ofher adoption. She has started her journey to learn more about her legacy. She is grateful.
Thank you again for everything!
Sincerely,
Susan
