This was my first time in Japan and in Sapporo. I connected with Shiunn few months before my arrival; we exchanged multiple messages about my plans, interests, wants and needs for what I'd like to get out of the tour. With everything said and done, I suggested a 2x 8hr tours, to which she agreed. And we had a fantastic time both days! Lots of walking (I think we did a little over 20k steps each day!). Shiunn is a great tour guide with a lot of historical knowledge about the city, its history, and knows all the right places with delicious food! If I stayed in Sapporo any longer, I'd love to book a third day with her and go hike the local mountains! She's an amazing companion and a friend! It was great getting to know Sapporo with Shiunn!

My family had a great time with Karina in Sapporo. One thing that really makes a tour great is when the guide's love of their area really shines through. We greatly appreciated Karina's joy in describing Sapporo's history (including the Ainu indigenous people), its plants and animals, seasons, and everything else that came up. In addition to seeing many historical buildings and parks and gardens, she took us to one of her favorite restaurants where we had delicious curry soup. It was a great day, and she left us with wonderful ideas of where to go explore next.

A very thorough and enjoyable walking tour of Sapporo. Our guide Zarina was knowledgeable and very informative. She made a real effort to find out what interested us and what we wanted to see. We feel that we have seen the major sites in Sapporo and have a better sense of Hokkaido history.
