Hi Whitney,
Driver’s service is really good. Just that some of the places were not up to our expectations… like the penguin parade… there were only 9 penguins.
And the hot spring hotel - it’s reallt nice the place. Thanks for the sweet deco at Niseko hotel!! V lovely.And sadly the ice cream making is closed. But all else is good. Ai-san (driver) is really very helpful! Thanks!

Knowledge of Subjects | 4 | All 3 guides were great - polite and made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Kenji was the best guide. Really knowledgeable - be it history, cultural or general knowledge. Seiya is the most green and would do well when he improves or becomes more confident. | |

Overall Score of the Whole Package | 4 | We were very pleased with how Kate, our travel planner from Novaland, helped us plan the trip. She was available anytime we wanted to talk. She gave good suggestions on the tour and also helped us when we needed to make a change while on the tour.
The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The tour guide in Luxor was really good, one I would recommend.
In Cairo, we had a tour lead and a tour guide. The tour lead was very helpful, and he helped us with airport pick up, drop off, visa, immigration, etc. The tour guide was also good, but not as good as the one in Luxor.
We will book tours through Novaland Tours and recommend to our friends and family.
Thank you. |
