My cruise ship arrived in Nagoya the morning of the tsunami warnings in Japan. We were not allowed off the ship while the warnings were in effect. I contacted the tour guide to explain the situation and cancel the tour. The guide was very understanding and offered me two options for a later port call in Hiroshima at no cost. The options presented to me did not fit the desires of our group of four so I declined. To my surprise the tour group refunded my money! Great customer service. Hope I get a chance to use this tour group in the future.
