Amazing is the word! I had a great experience in trip. All the locations were amazingly beautiful and our tour guide was so friendly and helpful. She tried her best to interact in English and was so supportive in every manner. All the places are must visit and overall it was a pleasure day following the perfect itinerary

It’s not a common route, so there were less people on our tour. Perfect for people who want to get away from the over-crowded tourist spots near fukuoka (takachiho/beppu tours) and not sure where else to visit on a free day. Highly recommended tour, as our tour guide Edward was very professional and gave detailed explanation about the destinations’ - some fun facts, some historical knowledge, and some chemistry knowledge.

小石导游 is a good guide. helpful too. but according to the guide, the tour is either a choice between Mojiko Port or Karato Market. As the majority of the tour chose the port, I had to forego my intended choice. felt disappointed by klook because the itinerary stated did not state this and I signed up because the market was a key factor in deciding the tour. felt that klook "cheated" me. saving grace was the tour was good overall.

Certainly I enjoyed the trip. Guide Ella and the bus driver are both professional in their work. Ella is well-informed, speaks clearly in chinese and English and knows how to ensure the group keep on time. She balances storytelling, history, and practical tips perfectly. Recommend to take her trip.

Overall I enjoyed this tour. Our tourguide, Elivis was accomodating, nice and very informative. He can speak English, Nihonggo and Chinese. The Kitakyusu was very beautiful, Miji port has many beautiful architecure. I recommend eating sushi at Karato Market, it was so fresh and delicious!! Korukura Castle and Miyajidake are a sight to see as well! highly recommended if you are well into Japanese culture. This tour is a must when visiting Fukuoka!

A day trip to Mojiko and Karato Market is the perfect experience. The itinerary's timing is just right, from a leisurely stroll through the market, soaking up the lively atmosphere, to tasting local delicacies, every moment is pleasant and unhurried. Our tour guide, Ms. Zhang (Ms. Tajima), was a highlight of the trip. Her gentle and polite demeanor, along with her beaming smile, made us feel welcomed. She is proficient in multiple languages and provides accurate explanations for different tourists. Whether it's historical anecdotes or culinary culture, she explains everything in a vivid and interesting way. Her management of the group is also excellent, ensuring the entire trip is well-organized and that everyone can fully enjoy the journey. This trip not only provided wonderful memories but also made us feel professionalism and warmth.

Ada was a great guide. She tried her best to introduce and guide us with both English and Chinese. She also ensures everyone is accounted for and knows the plan. The only con about the tour was that it was quite rush. The ride felt more than the visit - though Ada did give a heads up before we started.

A huge thank you to our tour guide, Selina! She gave us a detailed introduction to all the day's attractions at the start of the tour. Throughout the trip, she kindly pointed out worthwhile sights and delicious places to eat. She took meticulous and thoughtful care of each member of the group. The schedule was also well-managed, and she even recommended great places to eat, shop, and explore near the station at the end. Thanks to her, we had a very fulfilling and wonderful day! 😃

This day tour was absolutely amazing! I originally thought that exploring all these spots on my own would be stressful—figuring out transportation, timing, and directions—but this tour made everything effortless. Our guide was super friendly and funny, giving detailed explanations and even help us to communicate with local people. The transport between each spot was smooth and comfortable, saving so much time and energy. From the fish markets to the Dazaifu Tenmangu, we got to fully enjoy every place. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a stress-free, fully organized day out!
