Lovely guide! - Kevin was a very good and lively guide! His english was a bit hard to understand at time but he made up for it with great sense of humor. The tour, also, was not a max of 21 people as advertised. We went in a 42 people group.

Epic View! - We stayed close to the meeting point, so it only took a few minutes to walk there. The guide contacted us the night before and sent us a photo, making it a smooth pickup. Our guide Lara is a very kind, talented, and enthusiastic lady. She pointed out the most photogenic views, which helped a lot! It was worth the money and I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful Scenery & Excellent Guide! - The tour company messaged me on WhatsApp the day before, so no need to worry about losing contact. Our guide spoke three languages — very impressive and super friendly. Takachiho Gorge, Amano Iwato, and the scenic train were all amazing. Really worth the trip!

Long day but an enjoyable one - Our guide was seki. She was excellent and did a great job giving the commentary in English , Chinese and Japanese . The day was long and we had to grab lunch on the run but the shrines and gorge were all beautiful . Seki was very tactful and polite when we lost a couple of people at the gorge stop .

Great gorge and train ride. - Contrary to other reviews. I think its important you show up at 730am a lt Lawson as there are about 100 people easy looking for flags and tour guides. There are many similar flags and its easy to lose your guide. Overall was a great experience as YANG knows her stuff and airdropped a list of Fukuoka places to eat and shop. A lot of walking and a Ztip, get a taxi at 690Y up the gorge unless u want to walk up like 15 stories on a slope and be exhausted for the rest of the trip.
