“It was an amazing experience. The trip allowed us to view many different touristic sites in a short amount of time. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. His ability to talk in 3 different languages at the time is remarkable. George was always eager to share his knowledge but also was passionate about sharing and getting us to experience the real Japanese culture. He had really great advice so that we could enjoy our stay in Japan, not only during the tour.”
