    Tour: Hakodate Food and Exploration Tour with Private Guide Date: April 3, 2025 Booking Ref: 1228063125 We recently took this tour, and while our guide did his best to provide a good experience, we found the tour description on Viator to be lacking in accuracy. 1. The tour involved extensive walking and city bus travel, which was not clearly stated in the description. This should be highlighted for travelers to set accurate expectations. 2. When booking from the United States, it appeared that lunch was included, but upon arrival in Japan, we learned it was not. This caused some confusion and should be clarified in the listing. 3. For the price point, we expected a more curated experience with a clearer focus on food exploration. We hope Viator updates the tour description to ensure future travelers can make an informed decision.
