    To begin with, the tour guide, Mr. Jan Michel, can be rated as good to very good. He made every effort to complete the very tight program according to the probable specifications and the advance reservations. The specified points were all completed, although the excursion to Fuji by train and without seat reservations with standing during the not-so-short journey for 200.00 euros. Other routes through train stations, subway stations with multiple stairs, escalators etc. could perhaps have been done differently. The intermediate times for food and drink were often very short and not to be rated positively. It was known that it wasn't going to be a relaxing vacation, but there was a very high stress factor. stress factor was present. The overall time should have been stretched out a little without incurring excessive costs.
