The tours we booked were wonderful. There was communication if needed with the tour agent, Fiona. The guides were on time and spoke wonderful English even though they were from Japan. Everything worked like clockwork. We loved the small groups that we traveled with. We even received money back when a few people were added to our group. Please do not hesitate to use this company. You will definitely be satisfied.
