 Good arrangement and directions provided by knowledge consultant.

Any Other Aspect

 

*Tour guide for 1/2 days on Gion need some improvement as rush presenting the area.

*Too short for photo activities for all the places due to time constraints. Example: travel on tour bus for two hours and only 30 minutes to see the area and take pictures. Going to Mt. Fuji 5th station can be long for photo and shopping activities.

*More recommendations from local tour guide where to eat will be nice.

Overall Score of the Whole Package

Since this is the 1st time to Japan and the schedule is not too tight, We enjoy it very much and will go back again.

Thanks for everything. Me Chen(接机司机) is cool! The hotel is very good. Thanks for arranging. We are very glad to have you. 

Alice: Dear Jasmine, how is your trip so far?

Jasmine: Thank you for the plan, it's work out very smooth and as per schedule. We didn't manage to visit to Kachi-Kachi Ropeway due to the cable car out for maintenance. Thankfully the tour guide(中文导游菅敏岚) has work out another plan for us. It's really good.

Alice: Really? How about the tour of Matsumoto and snow monkey?

Jasmine: Hm... to be honest, I don't know that we have to walk about half and hour to see the snow monkey. the road is very slippery and it's only way to walk into jungle. That a bit dangerous. For senior that could be tough. But we make it.

Yes we are back in Manila already and we had a great time.  We enjoyed our tour in Busan with Ms. Yuri. I was going to send you an email to say exactly that, but you beat me with your email below.

We appreciate your offer about making a photo flash for us, we will surely send you photos and hopefully music as well, I hope you can wait for it as we will need to consider which photos to send :)

I will find time to fill up the customer satisfaction survey soon.

However, we witnessed the elephants being treated fairly. So overall, we had a great time at the elephant camp.

We encountered typhoon while in Busan this year.  Our tour guide Michelle took really good care of us.  However, we were unable to visit most of the places on our itineraries for Busan due to weather condition.  Hopefully next time in Busan it will be a better weather condition.
