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.

We had a fantastic trip visiting Shakotan Blue, the Otaru Canal, and Shiroi Koibito Park. Our tour guide, Hong, was exceptional—his communication regarding meeting points and tour expectations was always clear and well-organized. I was particularly impressed by his ability to fluently speak Korean, English, and Chinese, effortlessly catering to the diverse nationalities in our group. Highly recommended!

Naging maganda ang aming karanasan sa aming pribadong tour kasama ang aming driver na si 维钢. Ang kanyang van ay komportable at malinis. Ang ibinayad naming rate ay mas mataas kumpara sa ibang operator, ngunit huling sandali na kaming nag-book at natutuwa kaming mayroon pa ring available na van at driver na nag-asikaso sa amin. Maraming salamat. Ipagpatuloy ninyo ang mahusay na serbisyo.

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.

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.

Ang aming gabay, si Rii, ay napakabuti at maalalahanin. Nakakapagsalita siya ng Ingles at Mandarin. Binigyan kami ng 13-seater van para sa 6 na random na tao. Inilaan niya ang mga upuan sa harap para sa aking napinsalang binti upang mas madali para sa akin. Siya ang nagkusa na kumuha ng mga larawan para sa amin. Bagama't medyo maikli ang oras ng paglalakbay sa bawat hintuan, salamat na hindi ito panahon ng maraming tao, kaya nakayanan pa rin naming masakop ang karamihan sa bawat hintuan. Sa buong biyahe, binigyan kami ng mga kaalaman tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Hokkaido at mga detalye ng bawat lugar. Medyo nalungkot ako na hindi ko nakita ang Oyunuma Pond dahil hindi ako makakaakyat sa burol sa Noboribetsu. Nagustuhan ko ang Bocca yogurt sa Lake Toya at Guarana (Coca-Cola ng Hokkaido) na inirekomenda ni Rii. Napakakyut ng mga baby brown bear sa bear ranch. Para sa Otaru, wala nang oras para bumili ng mga sikat na matatamis (Letao, Rokkusei, Ryugetsu) dahil sa dami ng tao (ngunit ang lahat ng mga brand na ito ay matatagpuan sa Sapporo Station). Nakita namin ang Otaru Canal, Kitachi Glass, Music Box Museum, Miffy Port Town (mga espesyal na disenyo para sa Otaru lamang).

Guide Jay conducted the tour in three languages. Extremely knowledgeable, he told us about scenic spots, local delicacies and souvenirs. All attractions were well worth visiting, and the scenery at Otaru Port was also beautiful.
