    As stated in my registration I have food restrictions. It was difficult to get food items replaced in the included meals. It was impossible to replace rice/ noodles with more of the served vegetables for some reason! One place gave me 2 sweet buns stuffed with butter in place of rice!! Had no clue that low carb and fat was not buns and butter I had expected more than this in the tour planning. Our guide spoke limited and poorly pronounced English Many of the locations where we were to get our own meals were not appropriate ie we arrived after places closed or there was NO english menus/spoken english or only sweets were available! On 2 occasions we searched for 45-60 minutes looking for food

    Fabulous tour. Excellent value. Ritsu was our guide and he was the best. In addition to seeing all the important sites, it covered many interesting places that other tours didn't include and we also enjoyed many fun activities. Small group. Would definitely recommend.
