The most amazing day
We had the best time of our stay! The day flew by with so much to see, and Elie is incredible; he makes sure you don't miss a thing. The van was extremely luxurious and comfortable, the onsen is the best I've experienced in three weeks (I go almost every day and try to go again whenever I can), and the landscapes are breathtaking. Elie is attentive and will not hesitate to provide answers to any questions you might have. Want to stop at a certain place because you've seen something interesting? No problem, just ask! You really feel a service of the highest quality, if not luxurious. Incredible value for money; I'm coming back in four months and won't miss trying another destination! Thank you again, it was amazing!
