    Dear Lineke, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your tour, Essential Japan and Hakone end Tokyo. We truly value your comments and regret that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Due to the global nature of our trips, our circuits are usually bilingual. Each group is assigned its own guide—one for English-speaking passengers and another for Spanish-speaking passengers—to ensure dedicated assistance and a more personalized experience. In some cases, the predominant language in a group may influence the overall experience, but guides always provide explanations and answer questions to enrich everyone’s understanding. Regarding transportation and buses, our tours sometimes require different buses for certain legs of the journey, particularly when groups join or leave at different points. This logistical approach allows us to manage the tour efficiently while ensuring that all passengers receive their scheduled services. We understand that this can feel like frequent changes, and we continually review ways to make transitions smoother. Concerning hotel accommodations, we regret that the rooms did not meet your expectations. In Japan—and similarly in destinations such as Korea and China—standard rooms are often smaller than in other countries. Single rooms are typically smaller than double rooms, and we always guarantee rooms that allow for a comfortable rest. Finally, regarding internet or any other services, we always encourage passengers to contact us during the trip for any issues or special requests, so we can address them promptly. We also note that communicating in advance or through our partners helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures a smoother experience. We sincerely regret any discomfort or inconvenience experienced during your trip. Your comments have been shared with our operations team to help improve future tours. Thank you again for your Europamundo team
