It’s a great tour! I learned so much about the city! The guides had great restaurant recommendations. I do wish the tour were a bit longer with stops at the university and other historic areas.

This is a great way to get an overview of the founding of the city, and some landmarks that are particularly important to locals. Our guide was knowledgeable about the evolution of the city from its founding to present day.

Our awesome guide Iku provided a very helpful and informative introduction to Sapporo, complete with some wonderful photos and helpful suggestions for what we should prioritize for our remaining time in the area! We’re really happy to have begun our Hokkaido visit with Iku!

Great overview and history of the city. Really helpful to start your trip here so you can make better plans to experience the city. Iku was so sweet and kind with our tour. She went above and beyond to introduce us to Sapporo as well as great recommendations and help making plans for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend and request Iku if possible.
Great tour with Iku on our first day in Sapporo!

Sapporo was our first stop on our trip to Japan, and we knew very little about it, so we were happy to find a walking tour for our first morning. Iku was our guide and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. At first we couldn't find her because there were a lot of people at the meeting point and we didn't know what she looked like or her name, but she found us within a few minutes. The tour was really interesting and we learned a lot about Sapporo and the area around it, as well as learning a lot about the landmarks we visited and the current daily lives of the people in Sapporo. The tour was very short - I think we were done in an hour and a half - but we went to every place listed on the tour booking. I think because we had only four people + Iku and we're all in good shape we were able to walk quickly between places. After the tour Iku told us a few recommended places to go and eat, and they were all good recommendations. Highly recommended that you do this as an intro to Sapporo when you get there.
Absolutely essential, wonderful introduction to Sapporo

Our guide Iku was really great! She was charming, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We enjoyed learning about Sapporo’s history and landmarks a lot, and we especially enjoyed our trip to the TV tower to get an excellent view of the city! At the end of the trip, Iku recommended an excellent soup curry restaurant and was kind enough to personally guide us there, using the underground city passageways which we hadn’t been aware of beforehand! This tour and meeting Iku have been real highlights of our trip to Sapporo!
Great experience in Sapporo!

I had a great time with Iku! I booked last minute and ended up being the only one on the tour. It was also a holiday, so there was a special chance to climb the exterior steps of the TV tower. Iku made sure I was game, which meant a schedule change, but I was hyped to get the chance. We hit the high points with city hall, the clock tower and old government building. It was closed, but Iku made sure to get lots of photos of me! The walk up the TV tower was super cool. Iku made learning about the history of Sapporo fun - it didn't feel like a lecture. I highly recommend this tour. The time just flew by.
