Review for: Sapporo Hill of the Buddha, Shrine & Otaru One-Day Tour

Wow I'm so glad I booked this tour. We did a LOT in one day. And I did not feel rushed at all. My English tour guide Kundan is absolutely helpful and attentive. He's also super friendly and answered all my questions. Btw, he took some of the most beautiful professional level photos for me. The places he suggested for me to visit were all according to my personal interest. I'm an artist so he took me to an art museum and an artsy handmade glass store at the last stop. I enjoyed the trip so much that I wish I had booked more trips. I asked Kundan about other trips and they all sound amazing. Too sad I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I'll definitely book more tips next time I'm here. Wondering if I could request Kundan as my tour guide again in the future.

Our tour Guide Mr Ko and Ms Kari are so kind and helpful. They kept the group moving at a comfortable pace and even gave us great recommendations for local restaurants. Everything was well organized from start to finish. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much also to our driver Sato, for picking us and dropping us off safely.

it was a great day trip, fully packed but we're not feel rushed. We could even spent almost 2hours at the beer warehouse, which was relaxing because today's quite hot. The guides very punctual and helpful with the local customs and translation. Btw we're a combined group of korean and english speakers, so there are 3 guides which 2 fluents in English and 1 with Korean, so all is well and everyone was well taken care

We jad fun on this tour as we were in a small grp of 9 people but had 3 tour guides to show us around. Rey was the tour guide assigned to our family and i would give him a rating of 11/10. He was very helpful, informative and gave us a running commentary of the places we went to. we are grateful for him for bringing us to a drug store in Otaru to buy a box of band -aids when my husband had a cut on his arm. The other tour guides Ko and Yuna were also friendly and informative . Thank you very much Rey for being our guide. The 3 of us enjoyed our tour with your group.
