I had a wonderful experience traveling around Hokkaido, and I would especially like to thank my guide, Brett, for his thoughtful service and excellent recommendations. Brett helped me plan a great itinerary and introduced me to many unique local snacks and specialties that I would probably never have discovered on my own. He was also very kind to help me take many beautiful photos throughout the trip. One of my favorite experiences was visiting Otaru. Brett took me to some hidden spots away from the usual tourist routes, making the trip feel much more special. He also introduced me to delicious fresh seafood and other unique Hokkaido foods. I truly appreciated Brett’s patience, friendliness, detailed explanations, and thoughtful service. He made my Hokkaido journey easy, enjoyable, and memorable. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend Brett to anyone visiting Hokkaido!
I had a very fulfilling and enjoyable one-day tour of Otaru! The overall itinerary was excellent, and they gave us plenty of time at each tourist spot, so we didn't feel rushed and could explore at our leisure, which was wonderful. Our guide, Donghwan, even took photos for us, so we have many great pictures to remember the trip by! The explanations about Hokkaido and the little stories he shared during our drives were also very entertaining. When we arrived at each attraction, he didn't just give us free time; he clearly pointed out the must-see highlights, good photo spots, and efficient routes to explore, which made navigating incredibly easy. We never got lost. He also gave us detailed recommendations for nearby restaurants and shopping during our free time, allowing us to make the most of our time without any waste. Thanks to Guide Donghwan, who patiently answered all our questions during the tour and paid meticulous attention to every detail, we had a truly fantastic time!!!
We had a wonderful trip led by our guide, Donghwan! We chose this tour because it included the Hill of the Buddha, Otaru, and another stop in between. I traveled with a friend on Friday, September 18th. The weather was hotter than Seoul, with strong autumn sunshine. Short sleeves, shorts, and a light cardigan were perfectly sufficient. Our guide provided explanations about our destination just before arrival and also recommended places to visit and eat in Otaru, which was very helpful. If you're considering this tour, just keep in mind that lunch is usually after 2 PM and will be in Otaru!
Great overall experience! Our tour guide Kundan has been very accommodating and helpful all throughout our trip. He offered to take us pictures, recommends resto, and assists in reservation.
it was a great tour! Kundan, our guide, has been very helpful in ensuring the trip is organized, and even shared recommended places to eat. The tour package is not rushed, enabling us to really enjoy each site we visited. the meet up area is also very easy to locate and the bus we used is comfortable.
Thank you Brett and Domi. you guys really made this trip so enjoyful and fun! from the group chat, sharing good food maps, must visit location, helping take our photos! really really made a happy trip 🫶🏻also Domi is so fun and cute to chat with haha 🤣
Our tour guide was Brett and he was amazing. This was one of the best tour we’ve had thus far. Brett was great at explaining the history of each area. Gave us lots of great ideas for food in certain places and even texted us pins which helps a lot. We were able to spend a good amount of time in each location. The next time we’re in the area, we would love to have another tour with Brett. Thank you for a fantastic day.
Hamed and Sei are excellent guides. Very knowledgeable. Gave us lot of suggestions and accompanied through out the trip. The tour itself was great, lots of time at each places to explore.
