Fantastic 5.0
Smooth transaction and ride. We could have gotten this at a lower rate if we booked early, but due to the need to wait for visa, we only booked 2 weeks before our trip. It was easy to book and request to be dropped off at disney hotel rather than at Disneyland.

Our driver mr 神藤志良 is such a nice and understanding driver, we enjoyed chatting with him along the way, and he is very attentive to our needs. highly recommended if you have young kids travelling with you as it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. he recommended us nice spots and also a nice place for lunch as it was our first time in Japan. thank you so much!

bought on the morning and received instant confirmation. the bus wait was reasonable. For multiple stops, it is best to check the bus schedule after alighting so that you can plan how long to stay and when to take the next bus.

Great 4.0
A good way to travel in the summer if you are not renting a car. cover areas like Shiraito Falls, Kita Karuizawa to Kusatsu. Took the bus from Kusatsu to Karuizawa station. Seamless travel. just a little confusing when getting on the bus as there was no QR shown on the Klook App but the driver read the ‘so called ticket’ and we could get on the bus. Perhaps better instruction or an amendment on Klook App regarding the QR code as there was none.

We neglected to realize that this wasnt an english tour, but the tour guide (carp) so kindly accommodated us anyway! All the places we went to were so cool. The trip was an overall massive success on our end!

since the place is far from Tokyo most of the time was taken in the journey. However, The journey itself is very peaceful and scenic. The guide has given the instructions clearly and has been very helpful throughout the trip. major highlights are the Hoshino resorts and clock tower. We couldn't go to shrine,as we reached there after the closing time due to traffic. However there's a museum very near to clock tower that highlights the festival there. It was just 100 yen ticket to enter yet totally worth the experience.

we had a fantastic experience. Our driver Akira, was kind, informative and very helpful throughout the day. We organized and customized our tour and he helped make changes in real time so we could fit everything in during our day. Definitely recommend.

Thank you, Director Liu, for today's tour. You're always so thoughtful and helpful. The weather wasn't great today, so we couldn't visit Kumoba Pond, but I really loved Koedo on the way back. 🥰 I hope to visit Kumoba Pond next time.
