    Guides were very good and knowledgeable. We enjoyed their company. Some of the activities mentioned could not be done because of train times. Tokyo station was hard work. No english speaking or english signs that we could find. Need to provide more help. Transfer information from stations to hotel and return not really practical re buses and walking. Taxi is the best way. Always worried about not catching the trains. I think we expected more scenic views rather than cities, shrines and temples but we enjoyed them. We found the Japanese very organised, courteous and humble. Everywhere was very clean. We enjoyed some Japanese food but not all so had a mix. Enjoyed the Japanese beer. Good to hear the Japanese side of Hiroshima. Thanks for everything. Tony & Jene.

    This is the second time we used Odynovo's service. Our travel agent is kind and helpful throughout the whole journey! And everything is what we expected during the tour! We truly love Japan, especially Tokyo and Kyoto!! The guides and drivers in these two cities are super nice and knowledgeable. And we took a hundred photos there, just wanting to record every corner we loved!
