It was my first time to participate in a one-day tour. Since there were only 4 groups of guests in the same car, everyone was very punctual. The minibus took us directly to the scenic spots, and the tour guide also introduced us along the way. After getting off the bus, we had plenty of time to wander around. It was really easy!

The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and the comic books were great. It was also close to the station, so it was good for getting around.

Even though the dessen said Chinese/Japanese guide (which would've been okay for me), the Chibdsd guide tried her best to translate everything for me! It was such a nice trip I really recommend it!!

The perfect weather, beautiful scenery and delicious food, and the friendly and responsible tour leader Shi Nan led me to complete a trip that I really enjoyed. Regardless of the location, the food introduction was clear and detailed. It is worth revisiting again.

Today's tour guides Yang Zhou and Amy are very responsible and take good care of me, a group member who is alone. They will take the initiative to take photos for me, and will also tell me the most beautiful location for taking photos! I also introduced a lot of Fukuoka delicacies on the way back, so I was very satisfied and happy! In addition, the driver was also very professional. Although he drove very fast on the return trip, he was very stable!
