A fabulous introduction to Sapporo - This was a fabulous day tour filled with some great local highlights lead by the knowledgeable Akiko who was professional, thoughtful, considerate and had so much to tell us about Sapporo. We went to the fish markets, chocolate factory, Olympic Ski Fields and also the TV Tower. We walked, took trains and buses and had a really fabulous day. The ramen stop for lunch was another highlight and all together made for a wonderful day. If you book this tour see if Akiko can be your guide, she was brilliant.

Sapporo gems - We have booked this tour for the first day of our Sapporo trip because we wanted an insider’s take on what to see in the city. We were not disappointed! Our guide, Nori, is so great! He showed us the highlights that we would have surely missed if we went alone. His English is very good and he helped us with the public transport tickets, lunch, and even took photos of us. The six hours flew by fast. Highly recommended!

Winter tour in Sapporo - Nori is an excellent tour guide and made a positive impact on our visit to Sapporo. He is knowledgeable and kind-hearted, and took care of all the public transport tickets for us which was a relief since we don't speak Japanese.

Great tour around Sapporo - Ms. Chieko was an amazing tour guide. Family friendly and patient with our 8 and 6 year old daughters, who are not the easiest to travel with. Saw so much because of her ability to navigate the local public transit lines. Very enjoyable day ranging from a trip to the top of a mountain with a very cool Olympic Museum and exhibit and ending and a great chocolate factory. Great memories highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to get around Sapporo.

Great One Day Highlights Tour with Akiko - Thank you so much to Akiko for the wonderful tour! Akiko is a very friendly and helpful guide. Akiko met me at my hotel and we first went to the Sapporo Clock Tower. After that we went to Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium and went to the top of the mountain which has a great view of Sapporo. Next we had lunch at a Ramen restaurant in Susukino district. Lastly, we went to Shiroikoibito Park (White Lovers Park) chocolate factory. I had a great time seeing Sapporo and I highly recommend this tour!

Splendid Sapporo with Expert Guide - We have the absolute highest praise and gratitude for our Sapporo guide, Chieko, who proudly showed us many splendid highlights of Sapporo and patiently answered all of our many questions (as new arrivals to Japan). Our favourite parts were Olympic Ski Jump (amazing), chocolate factory (yummy), fish markets (wow, to see the seafood!), and learning how to catch public transport successfully. Thanks. Our major delight was our delicious lunch curries and ramen at Fukunoki restaurant- we all highly recommend! We are Hugely Thankful to Chieko for her friendly, accommodating hospitality.

Unique Walking Tour Experience - Nori is a very helpful guide. He helped us carry our handcarry trolley while we walked through the snow filled sidewalks & streets. Ski museum itinerary was canceled due to road closed after heavy snowfall overnight. It was changed to Sapporo TV Tower. We were able to finish Nijo Market & Shiroi Koibito tour on time.

Ensure Sapporo not Shin Sapporo to avoid extra travel time. - Our tour guide had good English and was very helpful. Unfortunately our accommodation was in Shin Sappora not Sapporo. This meant extra travel time, therefore less time at places of interest.
