The official website of Perfect Travel did not provide a QR code. At the beginning, we had no way to get on the bus smoothly. It took a long time for us to confirm the final confirmation before notifying us of our seat numbers. However, the tour guide was very attentive and the whole journey was satisfactory.

The itinerary was very well arranged. Although the Japanese tour guide explained the important attractions in Japanese, the important attractions were explained with the help of a translator and they were able to understand the content. The group had a great time and will still participate in other itineraries next time they travel.
