Japan tour covers many good sites but is very extensive

This Japan tour covers many good sites but likewise is very extensive. There are many things to see such as Sakura trees, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and more on this tour. Different tour guides during our tour for 10 day is not pleasant. They were good except Y*** needs more experience and to do more guiding rather than walk often free time of the destinations. However, our tour guide Keiko was delightful - knowledgeable, funny, friendly, proactive and extremely helpful. Best guide of our tour.

1. How would you rate the accommodations? (Comfort, cleanliness, location)

Excellent

Most were excellent. However, location could often be on outskirts of city.

2. What did you think about the food? (Taste, variety)

Excellent

When group was larger meals weren't as good. However, improved dramatically with smaller group.

3. Was the tour guide helpful? (Knowledge, communication, attitude)

Very Good

Guide Keiko was delightful - knowledgeable, funny, friendly, proactive and extremely helpful. Could perhaps be more assertive to prevent getting bossed around by tour participants and not running to time. Best guide of our tour.

4. How would you rate the sightseeing spots we have visited? (Favorite place, least favorite)
