This was such a great trip. We really enjoyed it, the itinerary was well-planned, and we had enough time to explore each place. Andy, our tour guide, was really helpful and even gave recommendations that we followed and loved. Because of that, everyone on the tour was cooperative and no one acted out, since we never felt rushed for time.

We had a wonderful time guided by Alex, who is very fluent in English. He seems to have visited Noboribetsu many times, as the knowledge he shared during the trip helped us greatly and allowed us to save a lot of time when visiting each place on the itinerary. From the recommended foods to the popular local products, to shopping guides at Mitsui Outlet ,we were very happy with everything. The trip is truly worth trying, and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

Highly recommend the tour, easy to book, service was great, good transport. All planned well, our group was big, tour was bilingual in English and Mandarin. It was ok for me as I understand both languages. Just a bit short on each stop and a bit rush if u want to do shopping. But overall we managed to do shopping or eating during the stops. Really convenient for tourist. I would do the same next time to visit other areas.

I especially love tour guide Xixi!!! Although it was our first time meeting today, I felt particularly close to her. When I ran out of cash during the trip, tour guide Xixi thoughtfully helped me exchange it so I could eat without worry. She helped us take beautiful photos at Lake Toya and patiently explained every scenic spot along the way, telling us about local specialties and where to buy them more affordably. Overall, today's experience was great!!

The tour guide was really kind and considerate. It was unfortunate that we had a crying toddler in our van though, sleep and rest in between stations was compromised. Nonetheless, it was a great tour. Kind of rushed — especially during the Bear Farm visit with the lunch — but worth it. Another plus is the free ice cream, it was good!

Not forget to mention this package includes satisfying scallop set lunch ( 4 type of scallop dish). For this price, you must pick this package without any hesitation. I recommend this to all my Indonesian fellows .

Very enjoyable, very satisfied with the tour guide Sisi, explained the various backgrounds of the places to be visited, recommendations and very helpful. It's a bit difficult to eat during the tour, so it's better to prepare food for the whole day. I went with children and a baby, as well as elderly people, it's quite helpful to use a tour like this.
