Wonderful Tour- EXCELLENT Tour Guide Jay!

5.00We had 1 full day and chose this tour, as it covered a lot of interesting parts of the island. We lucked out getting Jay as our guide, he was wonderful! Jay had a lot of interesting information that he shared with the group and answered all of our questions. We had just the right amount of time to spend in each unique and interesting place. Jay took great photos of my husband and I, so we could both be in the photos. It was hard to pick a favorite spot that we visited. Hell Valley was interesting, Lake Toya is stunning, I loved feeding and watching the bears at the Bear Ranch. Otaru was one of my favorites, we loved the steam clock and music box store. We enjoyed dessert and tea at La Tao. All of Jay's recommendations were spot on, we knew how to make the best use of our time. We also appreciated the food suggestions and would've missed out on the yummy pudding balls if we hadn't been given the heads up. This is an excellent tour, we really enjoyed everything we saw and did, plus having a great guide made all the difference in the world.
Great tour and tour guide

5.00A great tour. Covered a lot of area without driving ourselves! Rii is a great tour guide. She told us a lot of history of this area and provided us with additional restaurants even after the tour has ended. Strongly recommend this tour!

3.00Good: Hell Valley was great to see. The volcanic landscape was awesome Otaru was a lovely town with lots of unusual shops and eating places. Loved the steam clock. The guide was fantastic and gave good details despite being hampered by the weather Bad: alot of time was spent on the bus travelling between sights.....of the 10 hrs about 7 is on the bus. We were very unfortunate that we had a very bad weather day so Lake Toya was totally covered in mist...I think this would have been pretty otherwise and we couldn't really see much out of the windows as they got very misted up. Minivan was a real bone shaker.
must-see

5.00A very interesting trip, beautiful scenery, good guide must-see!A visit to the bear sanctuary is not included in the price; you have to pay separately. I didn't understand this from the excursion description.
Great tour to must-see locations in Hokkaido

5.00Fabulous tour to amazing locations. Wouldn't have been able to do all locations in one day by ourselves and considering our limited stay in Hokkaido, this really came in handy and the price was very reasonable as well. Sophie/Sakura-san was very helpful, giving detailed instruction on the meeting point with pictures the day before. And throughout the day she was great as well, providing highlights of all the location and taking pictures when needed. She even gave us recommendations for dinner, which we are very thankful for since it was delicious. The only downside was the vehicle was quite small so difficult to fit the shopping within such limited space.

5.00Great way to see the parts of Hokkaido outside Sapporo on one day. Jay did a great job describing interesting points along the way. A fair bit of driving but worth it to see the countryside and the 3 interesting points along the way.
