Review for: Departure from meeting point (50% off special offer)

It was my and my friend's first time in Fukuoka and adding this day tour to our itinerary was the best decision ever! Despite the occasional rain, we still had a great time. The three destinations on this tour were among the most well-known spots in Fukuoka. Individually, it would have been a hassle, and more costly, to go to each one especially for first time travelers there. So, having a prepared ride made all the difference. Also, our guide, Lina, was so delightful and knowledgeable! She was funny and so nice; she took care of us beautifully. Our bus was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Being able to take naps while going to each destination was a plus for me. On the downside, I wish we had more time to spend on Dazaifu tenmagu temple because there were sooo many shops and restaurants we didn't get to explore. But, overall, I would highly recommend this tour, especially our guide Lina!

The tour was amazing and beautiful. Lena, our tour guide, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. She gave great recommendations for food and snacks and drinks at the tour locations. I had such a fun time. The bus ride was also pleasant. Every location was such a sight to aee. I definitely recommend booking this tour if you're ever in Fukuoka. The tour guide was easy to find at the start and plenty of time to do your own thing was given at each location. This was a great highlight of my stay in Fukuoka.

Despite the rain, we were able to do everything we wanted, and because of the rain, there weren't too many tourists, so we could stroll around comfortably. The meeting point outside Hakata Station was easy to find 👌 Our first stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, where we walked in the rain the entire time. The main hall is under renovation for three years, so a temporary worship hall was built in front of it. Our second stop was originally to be the Beppu Ropeway, but it was closed due to heavy rain, so we went to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) instead. The hot spring water here is as blue as the sea, and it's very beautiful 😚 There's also a Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell), where the hot spring water really looks like blood. If you brought a towel, there's a free foot bath here ✌ Our third stop was Yufuin and Lake Kinrin, a very beautiful hot spring town. The rain gradually stopped, and this place was so great for taking pictures and shopping! Gentlemen, please be careful! This is definitely a place where mothers, wives, and children will go crazy 😁 We returned to Hakata Station on time in the evening, and both guides were very dedicated and friendly 👍

Very relaxed free and easy trip! Personally recommend to skip Beppu ropeway when it’s rainy weather because the scenery would be too foggy. Be mindful if you love taking photos because time might be insufficient for lunch. Our female tour guide “Zhang Qin” is very helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. She had provided us a lot of information and guidances in the trip and also food recommendations for us to explore in the upcoming days!

our guide was amazing! she was very informative and helpful. she also had a lot of good jokes. the tour itself was perfect. they explain to you the expectations and what’s to come. once you arrive at one location they tell you a time we need to be back to the bus in order to make it to the next destination on time. it is very straight, I love how you can do things at your own pace and don’t feel too rushed. when you do arrive the guide shows you where a lot of the locations are and good photo and food recommendations. after she lets eveyone disperse and reminds you of the time to return. we go to see all of the locations and it was all on schedule. I highly recommend this tour. it’s great for the price as well.

Me and my friends went to this tour for our one whole day in Fukuoka, and it didn’t disappoint! We were able to go to the highlights of the tourist spots in Fukuoka, having ample time for each spot that we could take photos and explore freely. Our guide, Thomas was very helpful, showing and telling us tips left and right for a more efficient visit to each stop in the tour. Food recommendations, best toilets without queues, routes for explorations, you name it! He even sent out photos he took himself from his visits in the ropeway as digital postcards if we didn’t get the chance to take beautiful photos ourselves. (The last photo is his.) Overall, the experience was nothing short of perfect and we loved every minute of the tour 🤎

Tour guide Helen provided very detailed introductions to the attractions. She was very approachable and dedicated. She also introduced local specialties and famous foods, allowing tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery and unique cuisine. Although the Beppu Ropeway was closed for maintenance, the tour guide immediately changed the itinerary to include the Umi Jigoku (sea hell) hot spring. Overall, the tour was excellent value for the money.

I would recommend this tour if you are rushing for time with tight itinerary. Didn't take the ropeway as it was foggy that day. Hence the tour guide has kindly suggested to go to Umi Jigoku which was pretty nice attraction too as an alternative. The ghibli village is kind of overrated. But overall it is still nice to visit Yufuin.

Roger, the tour guide, is excellent. He recommended a lot of great food, including mushrooms and Yufuin ice cream. He also explained the reasons behind the development of Yufuin and Yunohira. Roger is a great guy and always offered to take photos for us whenever we got off the bus at attractions! And when we got back on the bus, he would say, "Welcome back, thank you for your hard work." One of the attractions was Frog Shrine, and Roger even explained that the frog in front of the restroom is holding poop, not a peach. He also shared some clever Japanese puns with us. Finally, on the way back, he shared a lot of information about Japanese cuisine.
