    The independence by Globus package was prefect for my family. The free time paired well will guided tours. The guides were prompt, personable, and knowledgeable. They even took the time to ask about what our 14 year old might want to see. I do recommend adding the app Ekispert to the communication. It saved us getting lost on the train/subway system. Thank you for a memory that will be with us a lifetime.

    Excellent arrangements (hotel, air, land travel.) Would have liked communication about guides, meeting locations, transportation closer to 72 hours in advance rather than the typical 12-24 hours notice that we typically received.

    The tour guides were the best part. Excellent local guides in each city. No hiccups only one small issue as instructions in Kyoto said to meet in the lobby and the driver was downstairs outside the lobby.. We are looking forward to booking our next trip through Globus
