I have never traveled outside the US. I am thinking of taking one of these vacation tours. I would like to see Japan and China. Can anyone especially recommend a company/tour they really enjoyed and were happy with? Any other tips? This will be my first big trip of this sort and want to get the best deal I can and not have problems!! Thank you!!

ps. I would like to see cities briefly, like Tokyo and Beijing to say I saw them but am more interested in things like gardens, Mt. Fuji, Great Wall, imperial palace.. ..you know, the touristy things i guess.

I'm looking for the same thing for march or april 2007. So far Pacific Delights seems to be the best bargain. Would appreciate any help on this subject.
