Amazing!! - My tour guide Roy Aoki was so knowledgeable about the city of Hokkaido and its history; my family and I learned a lot. He had a very good sense of humor and personality that we had so much going around Sapporo. He recommended us really great restaurants, too. I would highly recommend him and this tour to my friends because it's something they should not miss! Very good man, we were lucky to get him as a tour guide!

Our Sapporo Trip - This was our 1st time to travel to Japan. Our tour guide Roy was very helpful & knowledgeable during our tour. He helped us learn how to use subway system that we were going to use the remainder of the week. He also helped us obtain & use IC card that made transportation much easier to navigate. We would definitely use this service again & recommend it to anyone taking a tour.

Wonder Experience in Sapporo - Our tour guide Roy was very helpful & courteous. He was well informed about Sapporo & its history. He went as far as to show us how to use subway system for things we were doing on our own.

Excellent private tour of Sapporo - Our guide, Tamaki (Tom), was excellent with his communication before and during the tour. He customized the experience to the interests of my family. I would highly recommend him if you visit Sapporo and are planning for a private walking tour of the city.

Wonderful Day in Sapporo - Nozomi san was a gracious host and showed us around her lovely Sapporo with such kind hospitality. We very much appreciated seeing the city from a local’s perspective, eating sushi at a restaurant that she recommended, and learning about the history of the city, which is apparently is quite young compared to the rest of Japan. I highly recommend this tour, and hope that you have the good fortune of having Nozomi san as your guide!

Fantastic Sapporo Tour! - Tom was an amazing Sapporo guide! He was able to come up with a slightly modified itinerary that perfectly suited our interests. He was very responsive/quick to communicate with before the scheduled tour, and provided excellent insight and direction on helping to help make the most of our tour during the planning stages and while we were out and about. We can very much confidently recommend Tom - his enthusiastic demeanor, excellent English, and thoughtfulness were everything we could have hoped for in our tour of Tokyo. Thank you, Tom!

Sapporo tour - We loved the tour with our guide, Tom (Tamaki Yakuwa)! He told us all about Sapporo history, took us to the most important places in the city and gave us many tips about what to do and where to eat. Thank you Tom for your kindness! We had a really good time!

Great tour - we saw lots of things - Mr. Yakuwa was an outstanding guide. He spoke English well and had very good local and historical knowledge. We opted for a tour heavy on walking and got in about 20,000 steps! We saw Odori Park, the Nijo fish market, subterranean retail arcade, the Olympic ski jump at Okurayama with an incredible panoramic view of Sapporo, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, the Sapporo beer factory and finally the historic Sapporo Clock Tower.
