Best ramen - Ryuki is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had the best ramen ever in a restaurant that I would never have visited without his guidance. He also took me to the seafood market in susukino as well as a sky site and mountain top. Quite an enjoyable experience.

Awesome - The tour guide was considerate by providing his Whatsapp for contact in case I couldn’t find him… which I did initially because I was on the wrong side of the station. Nonetheless, it was a nice leisurely 6 hours. Took me to the places that I had not been to yet. I am hitting up the spots he recommended me today before I head home to LA tomorrow. Great job!

First solo trip experience - This was my first solo trip, and my guide, Shiunn, did an absolutely wonderful job. The tour was little bit of everything and exactly what I desired. She showed me the scenoc sights and the local hotspots. Im absolutely grateful for her excellent care and it made my trip one I'll never forget!

A Taste of Sapporo - With just a day to explore Sapporo from our cruise ship, we decided to get a taste of the city by booking a food tour. Shiunn was a fantastic guide who took us to an amazing fried chicken restaurant, followed by a visit to the Sapporo TV Tower and a popular bakery where we tried some savoury treats and onigiri. We then saw some sights on our walk to Shiunn’s favourite soup curry restaurant, and finished off with an icecream parfait. So much food!! It was a great way to see the city and enjoy some local delicacies at the same time. Thank you Shiunn!

Great tour of Halifax - Excellent tour and our guide, Jay W. was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire tour and the many stops and photo ops we made. His history of the city was extensive and his narrative was engaging. He was easy to visit with, made sure we saw all we had requested and included much more than we had expected.

Memorable Sapporo Experience - While the tour did not fully align with the advertised food-focused itinerary, our experience with Ryuki, our knowledgeable and engaging guide, made it memorable. Ryuki's excellent English skills and deep knowledge of Sapporo and Japanese culture enriched our experience. He took us to an overlook of the city, explaining its history, and guided us through the Sapporo shrine, sharing insights into local rituals. We enjoyed exploring local eateries and indulging in authentic ramen and sushi. Ryuki's expertise in guiding us through the sushi menu and encouraging us to try new flavors made it the best sushi experience we've ever had. It should be noted that the tour's actual itinerary deviated from the advertised food-focused experience titled "Eat like a local in Sapporo". Despite the itinerary discrepancy, we recommend this tour for travelers seeking a personalized and informative experience in Sapporo. Ryuki's expertise and the opportunity to discover hidden gems, including a truly exceptional sushi experience and cultural insights, made it a worthwhile adventure.

Food Tour - Akhiro is a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The whole evening felt like hanging out with an old buddy and bar hopping around cool local spots. He will listen to your questions carefully and provide honest feedback about what's good and what's not so good when it comes to best places to eat (e.g. tourist trap vs. where locals actually eat). His recommendations were all spot on when I tried the next day.

Thank you Ryuki for a great tour of Sapporo! - Our tour of Sapporo was fantastic! Ryuki went above and beyond what we expected. We were expecting to pay for taxis to get around to the various sites in the city but he drove us around in his own very comfortable car. He was friendly, outgoing and very knowledgeable. Not only did he take us to the various sites, but he also explained to us the cultural history and significance of the various sites. His English was impeccable. If you're looking for an English speaking tour guide in Sapporo please do yourself a favor and use Ryuki!
