Fantastic trip. Lots of interesting places to visit and no unnecessary visits to 'tourist shops' and the like that spoil many guided tours. We loved that we used public transport everywhere. Our guide was absolutely terrific, and did her very best to accommodate our wishes whenever possible. Despite struggling with Japanese food and the traditional style hotels, we are glad we tried them. It was intensive and tiring at times, but we prefer that to lots of 'free time'. Highly recommended.

The programme for this cultural tour is excellent, with a range of experiences from watching Sumo wrestlers at their daily training, to spending the night in a Buddhist shrine, where we attended their prayers at daybreak. From a mountain trip to watch macaque monkeys playing in the snow, to boat trips on Lake Ashi, where we saw Mount Fuji, and to Miyajima Island to admire the stage setting for the No theatre productions. We returned truly different - with so many unique memories, really healthy after the cuisine. and mindful that a holiday can make such a difference. This was a holiday to bear comparison with any other in the pantheon of outstanding experiences. We both thank you as the originator of this trip. You had the imagination to appreciate what it could be, and the efficiency to realise the dream so effectivley. You can be proud of your work!

We enjoyed the variety and comprehensive experience of Japan, it's history and culture.
