Boarding at Hakata Chikushi-guchi is very convenient due to frequent services. The driver does not check tickets; simply show your voucher to the staff upon alighting. It's an excellent choice for travel between Hakata and the airport.

It rained the day before, so the morning weather was chilly and a bit cold. Thank you for allowing us to check in and wait in the car immediately, instead of waiting outside at the meeting time. I was worried because my parents are older, but we had a fun time with the family on a comfortable tour, just like going out with friends. Our guide's photography skills were excellent 😆. Even my husband, who usually doesn't take pictures, was enthusiastically posing for our guide! Haha.

Overall, the trip was great. The only comment I have is that I think we spent too much time on our first stop. Note that there are limited restaurants on this trip, and they can be overpriced. There are also a lot of stairs, so make sure to take that into account when booking.

The attractions on the itinerary were well-planned and efficiently organized. Our tour guide, Yang Meng, was dedicated, enthusiastic, and professional. Her bilingual explanations were patient and comprehensive, and she accompanied us throughout every attraction. She even shared her homemade food and shopping guide with everyone at the end. Thumbs up!

Our guide, Park Moon-young, provided so many explanations, and we were very grateful. After checking out of Yufuin, we left our luggage on the bus around 10 AM and had a very fulfilling day on the tour.
