1泊2日の強行軍でしたが、逆に間延びのしないぎっしり詰まった素晴らしい旅行となりました。
特に立山黒部アルペンルートの雪の大谷は圧巻の迫力!天気にも恵まれ、どんな写真を撮っても綺麗に撮れました。
また行きたいなと思いました。

最初は自分で行こうと計画していたが、アルペンルートの乗り物WEB切符のオンライン個人予約がすでに完売していたので断念。
大手のツアーは完売もしくは日程が合わず、他を探していたところ、こちらを見つけた。
黒部立山だけでなく、飛騨高山、白川郷もまで、1泊2日で効率よく周ることができ大満足。
バスのドライバーさんは日本人の2人体制で、完璧な運転。笑顔を絶やさず、乗り降りの際の安全確認、荷物の上げ下ろしまでしてくれて、日本流のおもてなしで非常に安心。
ガイドの劉さんの時間配分やアナウンスも大変上手。普段は個人旅行だけ…

ツアーのメンバーは私たち家族以外、訪日客ばかりだったけど、皆さん時間やルール厳守で、騒ぐ人もいなかった。
