Had a wonder time with Shiunn, she showed me everything from the history of Sapporo to the hidden gems. She showed me great food, beautiful gardens and unforgettable places. Not only that but she also gave me some great advice on how to navigate and how I should be dining. Shes very knowledgeable, very kind and even let me take my time to really take in certain spots. I highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you Shiunn!

Emilio was a wonderful guide! He customized our tour to fit our personalities and age. Being older we skipped some of the traditional sites and saw more intimate locations and got more of a better sense of life in Sapporo. Walking through the forests and eating the buckwheat treats was so special. Many thanks to Emilio!

Emi, our tour guide and life-long Sapporo resident, was spectacular in her preparation for our half-day walking tour of Sapporo. You could sense the pride and passion Emi has for her city. She allowed us to experience hanami.......I will not be able to thank her enough for providing us this very special opportunity. Tornado potatoes will mean WAY more to her and us after our time together happened to coincide with actual tornado warnings back home!
