Magical Fukuoka Tour - I took this tour 2 days ago from Hakata Station in Fukuoka. I loved visiting the heartland of Fukuoka and seeing the shrines, beautiful Takachiho Gorge and Amano Yasugawara Cave. The scenery was breathtaking. Our tour guide, Louis, was fun and funny and very articulate. He had amazing knowledge of the history of the area. If you are visiting Fukuoka soon I highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful tour with a fabulous guide :-) - This tour offered a wonderful experience with the chance to see some beautiful parts of Kyushu away from the ctyscape. The event was very well organised in all aspects, and ran smoothly - and to time - from start to finish. We visited some gorgeous locations and were fortunate that the sun shone all day! The tour was brought alive by our fabulous, energetic and enthusiastic guide, Jyo, who I can't praise highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she switched effortlessly between languages to keep everyone informed of the tinerary and about the places we visited. Jyo helped to make this tour a real highlight of my visit to Fukuoka. Thank you, Jyo!

Solid day trip - Excellent guide, good route planning, as expected long bus travel times, sufficient sightseeing time at the individual attractions, enough options for food, toilet visit etc. All in all solid day trip that keeps what it promises.

It was a great tour! - I'm glad the tour guide was so kind, detailed and guided. I just felt it was a bit harsh on the older people because there was no time. It was a good opportunity for me to exercise, so now I want to get fit and try again. Thank you very much.
