The vacation was wonderful. This was our second trip through go-today and they have continued to do a great job with their customer service, ticketing, hotel choices, and overall value. In Hong Kong we stayed at the Kimberley Hotel and in Tokyo we stayed at the Keio Plaza Hotel. Both were great locations and the staff was superb. In regards to the trip, I would suggest doing most of your shopping in Hong Kong, as the prices were great. Make sure you go to the Temple Street Market at night and do some bartering. The prices in Tokyo were higher, but there are plenty of reasonable places to eat . Check out the basement food halls in the department stores. The food is excellent and very reasonable. Also, don't be afraid of using the Tokyo subway system--it looks confusing, but the attendants are very helpful. It was a perfect trip--we would definitely recommend go-today.

I was pleased with this package, as it offered us the chance to visit two very dynamic and interesting cities. We stayed at the Shinagawa hotel in the new tower when in Tokyo, and the room was extremely small but well-equipped. Unfortunately, because we were there in the winter time, we could not turn on any fan or air conditioning in the room (the windows did not open) so our room was very stuffy and hot. However, the hotel's location was fantastic as it was literally across the street from the Shinagawa subway station, and there were many stores and restaurants nearby. Everything in Tokyo was very expensive but we primarily ate in noodle shops, which provided tasty and inexpensive food. In Hong Kong, we stayed at the Stanford Hillview Hotel, which was a lovely and quiet hotel. It is on top of a steep hill, so be forewarned that the larger coaches will not drive up the hill so you'll have to either get the hotel to assist you with your luggage or lug it up/down the small hill yourself! However, the double room I stayed in at Stanford was spacious and tastefully decorated and the staff was friendly, so I would stay there again. The food choices in Hong Kong are superb and the prices very cheap. Our package included a half-day tour of Hong Kong, which was a lot of fun and informative. If you have time, ride the one-hour turbo-foil from Hong Kong to Macau, a former Portuguese colony for a half-day excursion

Hong Kong and Tokyo: Our best Vacation !!. We are fron Latin America and in the past we have travel to Europe, North and South America, and Caribbean Islands, but these time we went to Hong Kong and Tokyo thinking it would be very interesting and exotic but believe us: It`s much better than these. Hong Kong is a wonderful place where oriental and occidental live together with an interesting balance. Great views specially at night with the lights of the buildings, nice and elegant people, good shopping, excelente food ( I specially recomend a Dim Sum food ). Tokyo is... just another world!. A very big and modern City where the future is happening today. Everything you see is interesting. Sounds, people in a rush, big screens and colors everywhere.
About go-today.com I have to say that I Didn`t know you before these travel, but after my experience I trully recommend you, and we definitively will travel with you next time.
I found you in Internet, and buy and pay by Internet. At the beginning I was afraid about paying and not receive anything but Forget It. We recieved on time a whole package with all the tickets, instructions, information, recommendations, and even a map.
All the reservations were well confirmed. The Flights Ok. The Hotels were very well located and comfortable. Tranfers and tours were excelent and on time. Thanks go-today.com!
