5.00Very good trip, a lot of valuable information. The food and drink was great. We ended up buying extra drink but it was worth it. Midori was a fantastic guide and took us to great spots along the way.
Remarkable!

5.00Ayumi is super friendly and kind. She took us to three different Japanese-style bars and restaurants, each with its own vibe. It was such a fun experience hanging out with someone we had just met, chatting about life and cultural differences over drinks and really tasty food.
Delicious local dishes and fun

5.00Kay was an amazing tour guide, bringing us to tasty izakayas, telling us about the rich history of the Hokkaido region, and letting us try regional dishes that were delicious: 100% would recommend this tour

5.00Our tour with Satoko was great! Based on previous similar experiences, the price of booking a Magical Trip tour is a bit more expensive but definitly worth it. We had our money's worth, without a doubt: lots of drinks and food during the tour, plus a great guide. Our small group (4 people on a Monday) was given a bunch of options to personalized the tour and we got to pick up the next stops based on our personal preferrences. I've never had so much control over a group tour before, it was really great. Finally, our guide, Satoko, was great. We learned a lot from her, had great talks and she even stayed after the tour to give us a bunch of recommandations on her local favorite spots in Sapporo. This tour is a must do in Sapporo
Best experience for first time visitors

All 3 spots included in the tour were unique and well planned to provide the ultimate experience in Sapporo. Looking forward to the next time.
A ‘must-do’ excursion in Sapporo

5.00I had a great evening out with delicious food and drinks and Kay was a fantastic guide! The variety of izakayas we visited made for a varied evening with lots to eat. We all had such a good time that we carried on to several other bars after the tour until well after midnight! Sapporo is a very safe city and it’s no problem walking around late at night. Thanks to Kay for making a really memorable evening.
Great tour that took us...

5.00Great tour that took us to some hidden gems in Sapporo that we would have not discovered otherwise. Kay was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Sapporo. She also recommended more food spots that we could explore in the future.
