点评:When a tour says 10 days Splendid Japan that's what you expect to occur, 10 days or 10 nights. From the 16th to 24th by my calculation is 9 days. I don't count my travel day as the 10th day, but that's exactly what they did.
The hotel rooms were NOT the equivalent of a Western 3 star. Don't be fooled. My bathroom at the last hotel, was so small I couldn't shut the door while on the toilet because my knees hit the door, so it COULDN'T close. I'm 6ft tall as a reference.
At the end of the tour you had to arrange transportation back to the airport on your own. No written directions on best options...no hotel shuttle.
The tour guide was good and very helpful to one of the tourists who lost his passport. He went out of his way to assist and translate at the police station as well as making phone calls to previous areas my Aussie friend had been to, trying to locate his passport (which they did find it with his assistance).
The bus drivers were outstanding. We all felt safe.
Better organization at the initial meet and greet and having everyone introduce themselves would have been helpful.
The touring spots were definitely highlights of the trip. More time in the museums and don't schedule them on Saurdays or Sundays with heavy traffic would be strongly recommended, especially at the Hiroshima Museum.
This tour concentrated on temples and shrines, which wasn't a problem, versus intimate cultural locations with one on one people interaction.
I may be off base, but I had expected more informative emails from Stunning Tours prior to the trip, covering do's and don't s and general expectations. Didn't happen. You are on your own once you make your payment.
I strongly recommend you research online articles from other tourists on what to expect once you reach Japan. Those do's and don't were invaluable to me.
翻译:当旅行团说要进行 10 天的日本之旅时,您就会期待 10 天或 10 晚。根据我的计算,从 16 日到 24 日是 9 天。我没有将我的旅行日算作第 10 天,但他们确实这么做了。
酒店房间与西方的 3 星级酒店并不等同。不要被愚弄。我上一家酒店的浴室太小了,我上厕所时无法关上门,因为我的膝盖撞到了门,所以门关不上。作为参考,我身高 6 英尺。
在旅行结束时,您必须自行安排返回机场的交通。没有关于最佳选择的书面说明……没有酒店班车。
导游很好,对一位丢失护照的游客非常有帮助。他不辞辛劳地在警察局协助和翻译,还打电话给我那位澳大利亚朋友以前去过的地方,试图找到他的护照(在朋友的帮助下,他们确实找到了护照)。
巴士司机非常出色。我们都感到很安全。
如果在初次见面时组织得更好,让每个人都自我介绍一下,那会很有帮助。
游览景点绝对是这次旅行的亮点。强烈建议多花点时间参观博物馆,不要安排在交通繁忙的周六或周日,尤其是广岛博物馆。
这次旅行主要集中在寺庙和神社,这不是问题,而不是一对一的亲密文化场所。
我可能说错了,但我原本希望在旅行前从 Stunning Tours 收到更多信息丰富的电子邮件,介绍应该做的和不应该做的事以及一般的期望。但并没有。付款后,您就得自己处理了。
我强烈建议您在网上研究其他游客的文章,了解到达日本后会发生什么。这些应该做的和不应该做的事对我来说非常有价值。
