I went with my friends. The guide was very kind and I could feel that he was trying to make things convenient. I think I will use it again if I have the chance next time.

Despite the heavy rain, we still had a wonderful time. Farm Tomita was absolutely beautiful, and the kids had a great time at the zoo. Rita was an excellent tour guide—warm, friendly, and always ready with a smile. She answered all our questions and made the experience even more enjoyable.

6/28 I went on a tour guided by Min-chan. Although it was a short schedule, he managed his time efficiently and gave me a lot of tips here and there. He was like a veteran guide! Personally, I lost something at the end, but I couldn't find it ^^; Even after the tour was over, he took care of me and checked on me until the end, so I was grateful. The tour schedule covers everything you want to do in this area, so I recommend it~

I can't say enough! Guide Satchi is the best! Since it's a course that goes to all the routes, it's also great value for money!! I received good energy throughout the trip! Thanks to the guide, I was able to take many great photos with my mother, and I also learned a lot about Sapporo, Hokkaido that I didn't know before! She also gave me a lot of great restaurant recommendations ㅎㅎㅎ! My mother said that the tour was great and that she made a good reservation and that she wants to come again in the winter, so I'm super satisfied ㅠㅠ!! I had asked a lot of questions the day before the reservation because it might rain or change the date, and I was so grateful that she answered my questions so kindly :) If I go in the winter, I'll definitely make a reservation again!

The one-day tour took a bus to Farm Tomita, Biei Blue Pond and Asahikawa Zoo, which was very efficient and convenient for non-self-driving tourists. The stay time at each attraction was just right, and the itinerary was well controlled without encountering serious traffic jams (Saturday at the end of June)

Sapporo Biei Furano local bus tour, it was really great 🥹💛 Actually, I didn't know anything about Sapporo, so I was a little worried... But thanks to guide Ko Seung-hee, my day was really fulfilling and happy! The guide explained things really well, in a fun and easy way, so I learned a lot about Sapporo~ Thanks to her, each and every scenery felt more special. And what really touched me were the photos!! She didn't just take pictures, but she considered the sunlight and shadows, helped me compose the picture so that it would come out pretty, and helped me with poses a little, so I got a lot of really great shots 📸💕 It was a day that gave me precious memories!! Thanks to this day, I think my entire trip to Sapporo will be remembered more warmly and happily. Thank you! I'll come again next time 🥰

It was a fun tour with Min-chan! I was very worried about renting a car, but the bus was much less tiring, and he explained the area, pointed out snacks to eat at each tour stop, and took lots of pictures for us, so I was so grateful!!!! I think it would be hard to go around like that on a rental car tour because you'd be so tired~~

I have traveled and been on many tours, but this Travel One Bowl Tour was a truly satisfying tour. The guide was kind and explained things well, and everything was incomparable to other tours. It was the best satisfaction. Thank you so much. I made good memories with my daughter.
