A potentially disastrous day saved by the brilliant efforts of Coco from Gogoday.
Alastair S,Apr 20, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00We arrived early at the meeting point and there was no guide there. Half an hour later a Gogoday guide appeared with another group who pointed out we were not on any of their lists. That guide Coco did a great job of adding us to her tour and looking after us all day. Including getting getter us aboard the scenic train back to Kumamoto. We booked through Viator received WhatsApp messages from Trevatour Travels in Pakistan. Who we tried contacting along with Gogoday as we were wandering around lost for the first hour. The castle was disappointing because there was no guide telling us about it. We couldn’t get close to the crater because of excessive gases on the day.
