Trip Reviews

Discover Japan

Thoroughly enjoyable. Had a great time, great group and great leader. Excellent balance of guided time and personal time. Great balance between old Japan, new Japan, planned trip and ad-libbing. I know it also had a lot to do with everyone's attitudes and the great weather.
