A highly recommended itinerary! A few days ago with another group, the itinerary did not say much but could not go to all the destinations, and thought the guide here does not talk is normal. After going to this tour I realized that there really is no comparison without harm! First first, the destination is where I really want to go so it is often worth it, and then second, a week before departure has received serious clear instructions from the guide meeting point (really do not know the way do not know the way), I was early that day Half an hour to arrive, the tour guide was already there very well, and finally and the most recommended in the whole group was the tour guide Habi! It's the handsome version of Tiger @mirror no chat, he is very sunny, nice, take the initiative to help turn on the lights to take pictures and videos, patient with late customers, angry but not mean strong good temper, all the way in the car in fluent English Mandarin and Cantonese introduced the day The itinerary and Hokkaido, providing a huge amount of information, before the end of the tour he also emailed Hokkaido food, shopping and play recommendations, he is the guide ceiling! His service alone is worth the price of admission!

A well organised day trip tour with Harbi our tour guide explaining in 3 diff languages: English, mandarin and Cantonese. A little bit suggestion maybe less time in Hills of Buddha and more time in Ice Village would be better. It wasnt enough time of only one hour in ice village.

Having been to Japan so many times, this is the first time I tried a one-day local tour. The overall feeling was good and the weather was very good. The tour guide Ms. Li was also very attentive.
