My wife and I booked this as we really wanted to see the Hill of the Buddha and Otaru but we're worried we wouldn't fit it all in if we did it ourselves. This tour fit the requirements perfectly, gave us plenty of time in each location and the transfers were spot on. Sei, our guide was excellent throughout, giving us useful information about the tour and each of the places we visited. he gave us plenty of recommendations for snacks and where to eat for lunch too. In summary, a really enjoyable side quest from Sapporo.

Mali sme fantastický výlet, počas ktorého sme navštívili Shakotan Blue, kanál Otaru a park Shiroi Koibito. Náš sprievodca Hong bol výnimočný – jeho komunikácia týkajúca sa miest stretnutia a očakávaní od prehliadky bola vždy jasná a dobre zorganizovaná. Obzvlášť na mňa zapôsobila jeho schopnosť plynule hovoriť po kórejsky, anglicky a čínsky, čím bez námahy vychádzal v ústrety rôznym národnostiam v našej skupine. Vrelo odporúčame!

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.

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.

Skvele sme sa zabavili na našej súkromnej prehliadke s naším vodičom 维钢. Jeho dodávka bola pohodlná a čistá. Cena, ktorú sme zaplatili, bola vyššia v porovnaní s inými prevádzkovateľmi, ale bola to rezervácia na poslednú chvíľu a sme radi, že bola k dispozícii dodávka a vodič, ktorý sa nám mohol venovať. Ďakujeme. Len tak ďalej s vynikajúcimi službami.

Moja sprievodkyňa, Rii, bola veľmi informatívna a ohľaduplná. Dokáže komunikovať v angličtine a mandarínčine. Dostali sme 13-miestnu dodávku pre 6 náhodných ľudí. Predné sedadlá prispôsobila môjej zranenej nohe, aby mi to bolo jednoduchšie. Sama od seba nám fotila. Hoci čas strávený na každej zastávke bol pomerne krátky, našťastie nebola sezóna davov, takže sme stihli pokryť väčšinu každej zastávky. Počas výletu sme získali poznatky o histórii Hokkaida a podrobnosti o každom mieste. Trochu ma mrzelo, že som nemohol navštíviť jazierko Oyunuma, keďže som nemohol vyliezť na kopec v Noboribetsu. Vychutnal som si jogurt Bocca pri jazere Toya a Guarana (Hokkaidská Coca-Cola), ktoré mi odporučila Rii. Malé hnedé medvede boli na medvedej farme super roztomilé. V Otaru nebol čas na nákup známych sladkostí (Letao, Rokkusei, Ryugetsu) kvôli davom (ale všetky tieto značky sa dajú nájsť na stanici Sapporo). Navštívili sme Otaru kanál, sklo Kitachi, múzeum hracích skriniek, mestečko Miffy Port (špeciálne navrhnuté predmety len pre Otaru).

Our guide Allen was very helpful and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of local stories & that’s so much better than reading articlesssss about Hokkaido history & culture. Wish we can have 30mins more at Otaru to take a slow stroll to soak in the beautiful town.
