it was a great and fun day with our guide Akihiro, being a single mom with my 4 year old son I thought that my son will be able to be cooperative and walk the length of the underground pathway but nearing the tourist information center he did not want to walk, I asked Akihiro if he can meet us there and go back to the hotel to get his stroller. I am grateful that he is very kind and understanding. he personalized my tour to my tastes and he did it perfectly. it was a memorable fun tour! I would definitely recommend! thank you klook!

We only had two full days in Sapporo and we loved our 4-hour tour with our guide Akihiro, a Sapporo native who studied in the US. We wanted to make sure we hit the highlights and his tour was a great orientation given our limited amount of time. We were able to change the meeting point to our hotel which was very convenient. Good communication over WhatsApp beforehand where he considerately asked if we were ok with walking or if we wanted a more relaxed pace. He met us promptly and helped us set up our travel card for the subway and bus - the tour is mainly walking but using public transportation got us to the attractions quickly. Really enjoyable tour of some of Sapporo’s highlights (Maruyama Park & Hokkaido Jingu shrine, Okurayama Ski Jump where, after going up in the chair lift, the view over the city is amazing, Sapporo Clock Tower, Nijo Fish Market). Sapporo is a lovely city with a lot to see and do - if only we had been able to spend more time there.

Akihiro was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and made the experience wonderful from beginning to end when he placed us in a cab and waved goodbye.

Travelling with my 4 year old son for the first time and walking around to see places was not his thing. He had a feat because he did not walk to walk, I am grateful that Akihiro went to meet us where we were when we were lost before the meet up and travelled back to get his stroller. I loved the wagyu beef restaurant, mikyuyoshi mecca of food and tea shop since 1935 where I got to try matcha tea and ice cream. Ended with Sapporo tv tower beautiful and so memorable.I look forward to booking again another trip. Thank you Akihiro it was a trip for the books! until next time!!!
