    Hi Sanjib,

    I hope all is well!

    I just finished my evaluation with the client. Overall, they were very happy with the Shikoku part of their trip. As you mentioned, the itinerary was quite full, but they liked all of the experiences. For the future, I think it is important that Shikoku develops a wide range of experiences (cultural, active, culinary, artisan, …) that clients can choose from, according to their interests.

    A special thank you to the guide. She was amazing, the best guide they had during their whole trip. Knowledgeable, professional, and above all a very nice person. The family would like to give her a big thank you!
