1.00Experience with our guide was terrible, we had been on a tour with this company before and were very satisfied, but this time it was terrible, our guide didn't speak even average English, it seemed like it was his first time because he didn't know anything and didn't give us any explanations. Even at the place where we stopped for lunch, he didn't tell us what we could to do there, and when we got back on the bus, we realized that we could go there to see the bamboo, he didn’t tell us anything We just had a chance to go to the monkey park ourselves. When we protested, he said , I’m sorry. We paid for it from America and came to see it, now he's telling us I’m sorry. This is our last time that we went to vitator company
Good day out.

4.00A bit disorganised to begin with but the places visited were lovely. Lunch was average at the buffet. Unfortunately we had a family group that didn’t follow our guide’s instructions so we had to wait for them several times and were late for one part of the day, which meant we had less time. We had a fun time on the river boat. Would recommend the tour. We did the full day.

5.00Amazing experiences. Guide Ms Yoka was very informative and excellent. Tour was very well organized. Lunch was yummy . The best part was the boat ride . Don’t miss this tour.
Not worth the time or money, very seasonally dependent

3.00The tour guide was excellent. But the boat ride was canceled, there were no cherry blossoms so the train ride was cheesy, and then with the boat canceled, kind of pointless. There was too much time waiting for transportation and then not enough time walking through the sites to actually pause and take pictures. And by the time we got to the final temple, we were late and they wouldn’t let us enter.
