I've been to Fukuoka 5 times, but my trips were always too short to visit Yufuin. This time, I decided to look into it and thought a tour would be better than independent travel in terms of time and cost. After some deliberation, I joined a tour and was 100% satisfied! My husband and I absolutely loved it. Due to time constraints, we had to move quickly, so we couldn't see everything in detail, but we got a good feel for the place. We'll definitely come back when we have more time. Our guide, Nana, was wonderful! She was great at conversation and took photos for us. It seems like she does this for every tour, which is amazing. You can tell she loves her job. I'd love to meet her again next time. I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know traveling to Fukuoka!

Our tour guide, Zhang Qing, was excellent! Their introductions were fantastic, and they offered many different tourist attractions. They even helped us take photos. If we have the chance, we hope to meet Tour Guide Zhang Qing again! ❤️

Had a wonderful tour with Kelvin as the guide. As our group consisted of both English and Mandarin speakers, Kelvin had to explain the itinerary and information in both languages. Despite that, he managed it very smoothly and even joked about it, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The time given at each place of interest was sufficient, allowing us to explore comfortably even though the attractions were quite crowded with tourists. Overall, it was a very pleasant and well-organized tour.

While planning my trip to Fukuoka, I was delighted to be able to visit Yufuin and Beppu efficiently on a bus tour, which were places I really wanted to see. The weather was wonderful, and I had a comfortable and pleasant trip thanks to Nana, our guide, who was very kind and skillful. The travel information, including recommendations for restaurants and shopping, will be incredibly useful for the rest of my itinerary. If I come back to Japan, I look forward to meeting Nana, our guide from Raku Tour, again.
