Hi Doris, we had a great trip!  I gave the Wi-Fi to the hotel to put in the mail to you. Thank you for your hard work in making our trip a great success.

Since we were going to the Philippines with flights via Tokyo, we decided to spend 8 days in Japan. This was decided just several weeks before our departure date and I had no idea what I wanted to see and do and how to travel in Japan and the language barrier was a bit scary. But Joanna from Novaland was really quick in organizing our trip. Within a week, everything was organized and booked. She first suggested a sample itinerary with places to visit just a few hours after I had sent the request and, from there, we made some modifications based on our preferences and budget. Being a group of 4, Joanna recommended private tours and private drivers which we really appreciated. We were also able to get French-speaking guides for our city tours. Hotels booked were really good. Good variety of visits in Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Hakone areas, Kyoto and Osaka. We took subways, buses and trains which allowed us to see the people. Thank you to our drivers: Young, Law and Ho San; vans were always very comfortable and clean. And a big thank you to our guides: Toshiyuki Kaba in Tokyo, Yuki Eddie Mitani (driver and guide in Mount Fuji and Hakone areas), and Tassan (Tatsuko Sannami) in Kyoto and Osaka. They were excellent and made us discover Japan. I have experienced many guided tours with large groups. But this was my first experience having private tours just for the four of us and I would definitely do it again and I would definitely do it with Novaland again. The planning and the follow-up prior and during our trip by Joanna was excellent; the 3 times we had to get hold of her, she responded within a few minutes. We were provided a WiFi device so we could use WhatsApp to be in touch with Joanna and the drivers and guides whenever needed. Everybody was always on time (and even earlier) and accommodating. Travelling with Novaland was a GREAT experience!

Overall we were very satisfied. The English speaking was good to better. The country was not some place we would go again. It was interesting to see. The guide was very good.

 The Folk Village in Yongin was too much of an amusement park for our liking. You were right about the snorkeling…not good! Kayaking was not satisfying either. BUT is was nice to get in the ocean and cool off.

hello
Back home- 
Just wanted to let you know some reviews-

Seoul- hotel was good, location great- All the tours were wonderful- really liked the garden tour we took with Brian, a lovely man.

Jeju- Hotel Leo, nice hotel, but location sucked, when we asked what to do around there, the man said nothing really.  Would have assumed we would be near a beach or a place with things to walk to.  Our view was literally a wall, like if we opened the window we could touch the other building.  The doors to the rooms were also fire hazards, they went into the hotel hallways, so for the three nights my father would talk about how dangerous that was (when he was young his family home burned down and they all were able to escape).  Han our guide was amazing and the best one we had the whole time, went above and beyond a couple of times in order to help us out.

Busan: Hotel Ramada, great location, my dad did call down for an extra pillow (only one given for each) and was told they didn't do that.  I don't think that has ever happened before.  Jino Kim was also a lovely man, he was always trying to make sure we were comfortable and would stay with us in the hotels for check in to answer questions- would highly recommend him as well.

Daegu-  Didn't care for the hotel, room were fine, but why have a window into the bathroom?  They didn't have breakfast marked down for us, so it took a couple of min to sort that (again,, Jino was there to help with that), everything was an extra cost (like the pool), the man who I assumed was a doorman didn't actually open doors for anyone. And it wasn't really near anything walking distance.

Temple stay, you were right, one night was enough! but it was a very unique experience and we are glad we did it.  When it was time to leave Jino took us to the train station and even waited till we were on before he left, it was very sweet.  My dad did have the thought of why didn't we fly out of Daegu to Seoul or take the train from Busan, so Jino wouldn't have to drive extra.

Overall it was a lovely trip, it was very hot, but a nice trip.  Thank you again for putting together this trip for us.  I do hope you use Han and Jino again, they were fantastic.

Best regards

Laura and Tom Elliott
