Latest reviews from our guests

The tour guide was considerate by providing his Whatsapp for contact in case I couldn’t find him… which I did initially because I was on the wrong side of the station. Nonetheless, it was a nice leisurely 6 hours. Took me to the places that I had not been to yet. I am hitting up the spots he recommended me today before I head home to LA tomorrow. Great job!

Had a blast touring Sapporo with Zarina! She showed us some of the structures in the city center and told us places to shop, took us to Shiroi Kobito Park (very very nice place where she treated us for hot choco), and we had the best soup curry at Picante then dropped us off at the tv tower. just be reminded that food and train tickets are not included in this tour so you need to pay for your guide. also dinner would take up time from the 4- hour tour so maybe you can skip that . but of course tour can be customized to your liking

Zarina is a very good tour guide. She was detailed and had all the information needed for the short tour plan. She has also a lot of good activities for the kids which makes her an excellent choice for family with kids.

Very nice tour. Enjoyed an overview of Sapporo - loved the local perspective. Loved starting, with the ski slope views over the city. Had a lovely mix of activities.
