Reviews
very interesting place and makes you understand different culture. very relaxing place to visit especially with the fair weather
the tour guide Chen was late and theres no flag. but he was so nice. he even gave us oranges. overall experience was great.
I was initially attracted to the order of the itinerary but on the day there are several change of plans. 1) the guide is not a professional guide. she told us that she is an office staff and only accompanying because we are only a group of 9 so it was too expensive to hire a professional guide. 2) the guide’s english was not good and she mumble alot so it was hard to follow what she says ok the bus but understood that due to organising the car parks, we had to move several places around 3) at each stop, we were given tight times and the guide does not offer much information about the tourist attraction so this was not a great experience. 4) it truly shows the lack of knowledge that the ‘guide’ on each location. for example, at the Yamaga factory, we had time to take lunch there, there were machines to queue for buffet / a la carte in japanese, the guide just ask us to click for tickets but when we show the staff, the ticket was for buffet not what we asked for.
our tour leader is Jayson , he is good and he can manage the time professionally. He can give a good information the place that we visited. Thank you
It would be helpful if you had a flag so that we could find you easily in the morning crowd. Also, it was difficult to hear our guide due to speaker system.
I participated in four different day tours during my time in Fukuoka, and this was unfortunately the worst experience. During the tea kettle showroom visit, the presentation was entirely in Japanese, and the guide failed to provide translation, forcing me to rely on my own live translator. Additionally, the itinerary is poorly designed; the sights are located in two different directions, and it is highly impractical to combine them into one tour.
