    Dear Tony Bassi, We appreciate all feedback and are committed to providing transparent, quality travel experiences. This particular package was clearly outlined as a self-guided itinerary — ideal for independent travellers seeking flexibility, convenience, and curated logistics. All inclusions were detailed prior to booking, including accommodation, transport passes, and select guided day tours. During this guest’s trip, our team provided extensive real-time support via WhatsApp, calls, and texts. In fact, no fewer than six members of our team, including management, assisted daily. We remained professional, responsive, and courteous throughout, even when met with skepticism and hostility. We also offered optional upgrades, such as a private guide, which were declined. We’re proud of the thousands of travellers who have successfully enjoyed travelling with us in Japan and continue to trust Vio Travel for thoughtful planning and dedicated service. VIO TRAVEL Team

    Dear Teresa, We’re sorry to hear that parts of your trip didn’t meet your expectations. Before your booking, we outlined that this tour is designed as an independent travel experience without a guide throughout. While this format works well for many travelers, we understand it might not suit everyone. Your input is valuable as we strive to make our offerings as clear and supportive as possible. We regret that the hotel in Kyoto didn’t meet your expectations. While we couldn’t make changes due to the cancellation policy, we hope the refund we provided shows our commitment to addressing your concerns. Our team in Japan is available 24/7 to assist travelers during the trip, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We’re sorry if this didn’t come through during your experience and will work to improve our communication in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the chance to better tailor your experience on a future trip. VIO TRAVEL TEAM
