Great way to see Japan. Everything went great! Good group of people. Great guide.The itinerary gave us a good feel for the country with included activities / enough free time to explore on our own. Would certainly do more trips with G.

The guide, the itinerary, and the accomodation were outstanding. We were fortunate to visit at the best time of year just before the major annual holiday period.

"There were a lot of wonderful sites, temples, castles and gardens to view. Bus ride between places can be a bit long (2-4 hours). Would love to have spent more time in Kyoto, especially on our own. Could have done without seeing the festival floats. They were nice for the first 10 minutes, but didn't warrant the 1 hour to view all of the floats' mechanical movements. Description says there is a lot of walking, but didn't say that that would include steep embankments and lots of stairs. Overall a wonderful overview of Japan and Japanese culture. Would recommend to anyone even remotely interested in going to Japan.
