The trip was excellent and very well organized. We would like to express our special gratitude to Ken Estebez, whose extensive knowledge was not limited to the history of Japan. He was very professional and, at the same time, very respectful to others. He showed us his love for Japan and thought about its customs. Ewa.

David Solanes is one of the best tour guides we have ever had and we have taken at least 25 tours. He was very professional, funny, attentive, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. Paco out of Tokyo was also great - he went above and beyond to accommodate our request to upgrade to first class on bullet train and made sure we are all ok during the train rides. The only thing that was tough was the monastery stay. Info from travel agent indicated it was an option but was not. It would have been better if there was a hotel option for the convenience of people who can’t rough it.
