We booked this tour the day before it was scheduled and are so happy for the spontaneous booking. The itinerary included the major experiences of Nagano you wouldn’t want to miss as first time visitors of Japan and didn’t feel rushed or overwhelming. There were scheduled opportunities to break away from the main group so each person’s time was optimized towards their preferences.
Joyce was knowledgeable about the tour sites, happily answered questions/engaged in other topics about Japanese culture, executed effective communication through out the day, and provided a really fun experience overall.
Our driver Nishi always greeted the group with an enthusiastic smile and was so accommodating to the point that when we returned to the bus after visiting the temples, no one realized he had to change buses while we were gone because he placed everything exactly as they were on the first bus and double checked we didn’t miss anything.
This tour was well worth the cost, and I would do it again.
