Itinerary

Lodging

Enjoyed the variety and especially liked the ryokans.

Food

Especially enjoyed kaiseki and meals at the monastery

Guides

Charlie, JJ, and Ken were all excellent. Tadashi was entertaining but had some time management issues. The Hiroshima experience was interesting - experienced guide, but he was quite heavy-handed with his political views.

Pre-Tour Handbook

Prep materials were thorough. Suggest adding the requirement for wired headphones since most people had wireless and had to purchase them on the first tour day.

Tour Organization

Well-organized and seamless logistics overall, which was excellent!

Tour Transportation

Again, quite seamless and impressive given the number of travel legs throughout the trip.

Would you go on another tour operating by Samurai Tours: Yes!

Would you recommend Samurai Tours to friends or family: Yes!
