Review for: Kyushu Oita Day Trip
Let me start by saying, "Highly recommended!" The overall visiting experience was great! The itinerary was rich, and we traveled in a small bus. Our guide, Ms. Mao, was very kind and explained everything carefully at each stop, recommending must-try local delicacies. The itinerary wasn't just about visiting places, but about understanding the history behind them. I think it's information that regular tourists wouldn't normally search for. Also, compared to other forms of transportation, you don't have to walk to the tourist spots yourself or buy your own tickets. I will definitely choose to buy a day trip itinerary again next time! I really loved our guide, Ms. Mao, today.💗

Review for: Kyushu Oita Day Trip
I was so worried the trip wouldn't happen, but thankfully, it departed as planned! It was super great that it was just our family this time. Our driver, Abang, gave us a detailed introduction, and because it was just us, the schedule was more flexible. Overall, it was fantastic! Every stop was just right. Highly recommend!
