Our tour guide, Dan, was absolutely amazing! I loved how naturally she switched between both languages, and she was such a genuinely kind person! She shared just the right amount of stories and history.

I really enjoyed this tour. Nancy is super knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information. It was possible to leave stuff in the bus at different stops, which made the sightseeing much more relaxing.

Tour guide Wu's sharing was very interesting and lively, and the food he recommended was delicious. There was plenty of free time after getting off the bus, so even with four attractions, it wasn't too tiring. The scenery at the attractions was beautiful and pleasant, but some of them had quite a few slopes, which participants should be aware of.

I was very lucky that the tour guide, Ms. Liu Yilin, was excellent for both days of the trip. She was super attentive, and would explain the attractions in detail in Chinese and English on the bus. She also recommended delicious food and souvenirs. The service was amazing ❤️. She was also very considerate and would take us a short distance into the attractions, afraid we would get lost.

overall, this tour brings you to like 4 destination and you can sit and relax in the bus while the bus brings you there. I joined this trip on weekdays and no holiday, so traffic was smooth and no delays, hence the timing given in each location is just nice. our guide is 小刘, she is very nice, help us take pictures, help us to order lunch and help to serve too, she repeats instructions 3 times so that it gets to our head on the meeting time and place and the bus parking. She can speak, japanese, Chinese and English. To me, her English just need to try a little harder in practicing the pronunciation, but it is still very good, I can understand. she is very hardworking. the bus driver drives well too, I have a very nice ride and can sleep well on bus too. this trip is good choice, if you never been to these places, at least to go once. it is very interesting

Our Chinese tour guide Amy was very helpful. I accidentally dropped my passport at Inuyama Castle, and she helped me call the castle to ask them to hold it for me. When I went to pick it up the next morning, they were very careful and asked me what color the wallet holding my passport was. Amy helped everyone take pictures, and at each stop, she told everyone the meeting time. The only downside was that the microphone on the bus suddenly broke, so people in the back of the bus couldn't hear anything. But the good outweighed the bad. The AC in the back of the bus wasn't working well, and I was sweating in my sleep 😅. There were so few tourists at Magome-juku~ Not as many as I imagined~ Very few shops were open, and it felt a bit desolate. Inuyama Castle is one of Japan's five great castles, and I'm very happy to have been able to visit it. Although it's not as big as other large castles, its historical significance is very important! Thanks also to the Japanese driver for his hard work that day! (I even bought a heart sutra canvas bag with a cute animal design at Magome-juku! It's super cute! If you like this kind of cute illustration style, I recommend you go to Magome-juku and visit the proprietress!)

The tour guide is very professional and knows a lot about humanities and history, which is really great. Malongsu and Qilongsu are quaint and worth visiting.
