Our guide picked us up at the cruise terminal and we started our Korean adventure. We visited the beautiful Haedong Yonggungsa Temple along the sea side then went to the UN Cemetery. the cemetery is a must to see. Beautiful grounds, peaceful sights and a tribute to all the soldiers lost during the Korean War. On to the fish market - we never saw so many different sea "creatures" as we did at this market. It was fun to walk around and take in the sights. Our final stop was at the Busan Tower which was a great way to see the city. Our guide was wonderful and showed us her city. thank you Novaland Tours.

Hi LillianrnYes I got the full refund.Thank you for providing excellent guides for our tours.Today we were fortunate enough to get some dramatic views of Mt.Fuji.The sun cooperated and both driver and guide did everything to make our day very enjoyable.rnCheers,rnEdrnrnHi LillianrnI just paid for the tour for 4 people in Aomori. The other person is Judith Larson.I assume we will have a van with a driver and a separate guide.The tour today in Fukuoka today was amazing.We did not go to cat island because we were delayed getting off the ship.Our guide Mariko and Hiroshi San our driver made the day just perfect.rnCheers,rnEdrnrnHi LillianrnWe had an excellent transfer to Tianjin Cruse Terminal yesterday.Mr Li was very polite and the trip only took 2 hours from Beijing.Tomorrow we have a face to face immigration in Inchon and will be out as quickly as possible.Hopefully we will have enough time to do everything and be able to be back on the ship no later 5:00-5:20.rnCheers,rnEdrnrnHi LillianrnWith both tours we had excellent guides.I did not realize at the DMZ we had to join a larger group to tour the facility because of the strict security.This was disappointing, but Paul our guide was with us the whole tour and provided us with commentary along the way.The tour in Fukouka is fine.rnCheers,rnEd

Hello SivarnrnWe returned safely back to India after a very enjoyable holiday. Thank you for all your help, support and advise in making all the arrangements. You were very understanding of our requiremenrts and we appreciate thatrnrnWill just give you some feedback from us [ for your future planning ] Scale 1 Poor ---5 Excellant as suggested by yournrnA] HOTELSrnrn1] Akura Tokyo - 5. Excellant hotel. Only problem was the location was remote with no faciilities for food/shopping nearbyrnrn2] New Miyako, Kyoto - 2. Very convenient location near station, but very poor room size / facilitiesrnrn3] Centremark, Seoul - 4. Good location / facilitiesrnrn4] Crown Harbour, Busan - 4. Good location / facilitiesrnrn5] Shilla Stay, Jeju - 5. Excellant location / facilitiesrnrn6] Nest, Seoul - 5. Excellant hotel. Only problem was the location was remote with no nearby places for food/shopping [but it was an airport hotel , so we understand ]rnrnB] TRANSPORTrnrn1] All the airport, hotel pickups were very well organisedrnrn2] The quality of vehicles was adequate but could have been much better . We were not happy that most of the vehicles had no seperate baggage storage area and had to be stored inside the seating area - obviously not what we axpected.rnrnC] Tour Guidesrnrn1] Tokyo - 4rnrn2] Kyoto - 3rnrn3] Seoul - 5rnrn4] Busan - 4rnrn5] Jeju - 5rnrnrnD] Foodrnrn1] The food was by and large adequate. In Tokyo / Seoul / Busan was very nice. In Kyoto / Jeju was very ordinary. Always a good idea to arrange more buffet lunch since it gives various choices and have limited local cuisine lunches to taste the local food.rnrnrnE] Tour schedulernrn1] The sightseeing planning was very nice and adequate in most places - except Kyoto/ Nara was too hectic and tiring. The Khimchi making / Dress program was the most enjoyable.rnrnWill be happy to recommend Novaland in case some of our friends want to travel rnrnWill also try you send you a group photo later, as requestedrnrnRgdsrnrnParvez

Hi Emma,

We just returned home.  We were in Japan for about a week and thus have not gotten around to answer any emails.  My niece met us in Japan and she took us around.  She is a regular visitor to Japan.

While in Korea, we had an excellent trip.  We will answer your questions soon. Needless to say, Mr. Young is not a 5 rating, but a 10+++. He is way over the top!!!!!!!

By the way, no photos of us please.

Regards,
Faunstine

Hi Emma,

I neglected to comment on the other guide, Fred,  while in Seoul.  He was exceptional. English was good and enthusiastic. After a full day touring (8-9 hours) he suggested, if we wanted to see more, we could rest a bit in our hotel and he would return to take us to other places. Between Young and Fred, what a great team in Seoul!!!!! Both of them were very considerate of our ages. 

Regards,

Faunstine

Thank you Joanna for an excellent service.  You are very responsive and patient with our requests.  We thoroughly enjoyed our trip thanks to you and the guides.  Victor was excellent.  Young was beyond extraordinary, we never had a guide like him.  If we miss Korea too much it's his fault

Hi Emma,

The tour has been good. I think the tour guide has been switched. The person's name is Steve Mizuma and not Jay. I believe Steve will also accompany us today to Disney Sea. I was confused at first when we met Steve last week. As you know there was a little confusion as to the transfer back to the hotel from the Tokyo train station yesterday since we didn't see the driver and waited for a while before catching a taxi back. Other than that things have been smooth.


Hi Emma,

We're having a great time and Young has been very accommodating. Thanks so much for arranging our trip with him in Korea!

Nathalie

 Both Steve and Hiro were very nice and accommodating. The biggest barrier was perhaps the language barrier.

Hi Emma, he is fine. Thanks for your concern. We had a good time, Young and Fred were very helpful. We were always behind the schedule but they were patient. They tried to accomodate all the places as many as possible.
