5.00Great Tour with a great Guide! Leo was my perfect company for that late afternoon walk. He brought me to some amazing places and provided the best experience with a dinner in a home cooking restaurant.
We had an amazing time!

5.00We had a great time exploring Sapporo with Shiunn. She was very patient with my elderly grandfather and we enjoyed her company and she felt like family. She was knowledgeable on the city and speaks fluent English and Japanese, so breezing through the city was refreshing!
Very Friendly guide but...

3.00Very Friendly guide but nothing historical to see in Sapporo (not the guide’s fault). It was hard to fill the 4 hours, we had to spend time shopping in sweets shop with the guide
Fantastic Guide and wonderful tour!

5.00Zarina our guide was most patient and professional. She took us to so many places and told us so much about the city, all the notable buildings, neighborhoods, sculptures, temples, shrines, and parks. She is full of knowledge and I don't know how she remembers all of that! She took us to this amazing curry soup noodle place and it was to die for. She was so kind. We had a most memorable day! Highly recommend it!
Wonderful Sapporo
