It was a fantastic day tour filled with wonderful itineraries and lasting memories👍 The guide (Andy) led the schedule smoothly without a single hitch, and it would be a true pleasure to meet him again in the future💕 He provided kind guidance in both English and Korean, comfortably leading the tour without any complicated or tangled schedules. The Hill of Buddha was truly beautiful with the Moai statues, expansive lawns, blue skies, and lush cedar scenery even without the lavender, making me think how much more wonderful it would be when the lavender blooms, inspiring me to want to visit again during lavender season👏👏👏 The Otaru Canal, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, and Shiroi Koibito itineraries were all fulfilling. Although the 30-minute free time at Shiroi Koibito was a bit short, there were many pretty souvenirs, so I quickly grabbed a magnet, a handkerchief, and chocolates.🤭 He offered a complimentary printing service of one preferred photo for those interested among the participants, so I requested a photo of my husband and me at the Hill of Buddha taken by Andy. The printed photo can be used as a bookmark, which made me feel happy thinking it will vividly bring back the joy of the trip even after it has ended🥰 Andy is the best for guiding us so well to create wonderful memories 💯👍👍👍👍 Thank you so much for today. If we meet again next time, it will be such a welcome and reassuring sight👏👏👏 Thank you, Andy😊

The itinerary was well-planned, not too rushed and not too slow. My favorite part was the first stop, the Hill of the Buddha. Our guide, Hikaru, was very nice and impressively fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English 👍. If you enjoy architecture, nature, and history, I highly recommend this route.

Mainly booked this tour because I wanted to visit Cape Kamui, which is not easy to reach by public transport. Seeing the famous Shakotan Blue on a clear day was absolutely worth the price and the long journey. The added bonus was getting to see the Shakotan Coast, visit Otaru, and stop at Shiroi Koibito Park all in the same day. As expected, the schedule was quite tight, but this is understandable given the long distances we had to cover and the number of places included in the itinerary. Our guide, Cici, was pleasant and helpful. However, I felt the tour could have been more informative. She provided translations in Japanese and Chinese and read the English descriptions from her notes, but there wasn't much additional interesting information or storytelling about the places we visited. A little more background, local history, or interesting facts would have made the experience more engaging.

මෙම සංචාරය ඉතා ආස්වාදජනක විය. මන්ද අපට ස්ථාන බොහෝමයක් නරඹන්නට ලැබුණු අතර, සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා ද ඉතා කාරුණික විය. මෙම සංචාරයට එක්වන ලෙස මම සැමට නිර්දේශ කරමි.

It’s a good tour to explore the West part of Hokkaido. Last half of the tour would require hiking and lots of stairs to climb. Just letting travelers with young kids/elderly know in advance.

We really enjoyed the trip to Hell Valley, Lake Toya and Otaru. Our tour guide is very nice,professional,and thoughtful. He explained the history of Hokkaido and every scenic spots in detail . we booked three tours via klook. We got to say that compared to other tour guides in other tour group, this tour guide has excellent language skills in English, Chinese and Japanese. And we also noticed that during our trip only one visitor from Spain needed to have English interpretation. In order not to disturb other visitors, he walked to the back row,sat with him and interpreted for him. Other things which impressed us a lot are a variety of music boxes and steaming Hell Vally. By the way, we will definitely come back to Hokkaido in the winter again.

The schedule for this trip was very well organized, with appropriate time allocated for each attraction. The tour guide, Xiao Liao, provided prompt reminders and warm, professional service, communicating very well in Chinese, English, and Japanese. By the way, participants can choose between the Yoichi Distillery and the fruit-picking orchard based on their preferences, and the driver will pick everyone up individually.
