    So much of a tour is who your guide is. Luckily, we had Ken and the tour was fabulous. We would not have changed a thing for our first time to Japan. We felt like we got a good cross-section of activities and pacing. And our peer travelers were awesome also. And the hotels and food were perfect! Highly reccomend!

    This tour was perfect for a first time in Vietnam, capturing both sights and history with culture and some downtime included too. Some optional activities and advice on plenty of places to shop, eat and drink provided at each stop on the tour.
