    In the itinerary, we originally had only one day at Disney, but at our request, Phoebe arranged an extra day for us—this made it so much easier for my kids to fully enjoy their time there!

    We really enjoyed this trip! Our guide Bianco gave us deep insights into Japanese culture. He speaks fluent English and was super helpful. All the hotels were switched to onsen resorts just as we requested, and we were absolutely delighted with that!
