The tour guide Oscar was witty, fluent in English, Japanese and Mandarin. He took care of us throughout the process, helped us take pictures, and took care of our lunch at the seafood market. It was a pleasure to meet this good tour guide

This is my third trip with Indigo Travel, starting from Taiwan to Fukuoka and then to Sapporo. I feel this every time, but even when my friends travel abroad, they only recommend good restaurants and places to see. Many people don't know about the characteristics of the country or the reasons why it became a tourist attraction. However, after experiencing Indigo Travel, I can confidently say that it is a reliable and complete guided tour that I add to my schedule every time I travel abroad. All the guides were kind and sensible, but I think the 'Gyaru-san' guide I met in Sapporo today was definitely the best. Despite the bad weather, she showed passionate energy and creative thinking, so it seemed like the rainy weather since morning stopped for a moment. And she read my stories and developed wonderful photos to make the trip not boring, so I am very grateful. I felt like she had a lot of experience that was not suitable for her age, and I thought she was truly a natural person. Thanks to Gyaru-san, I have another unforgettable memory of Sapporo, so I'm happy. Thank you, Gyaru-san guide!

Onodera was a knowledgeable and welcoming tour guide who made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Despite the rainy weather, her positive energy kept the group engaged and made the day feel fun and relaxed. She shared interesting insights about each location, adding depth to the beautiful scenery we explored.
The tour was well-paced, with a great mix of natural spots that highlighted Sapporo’s scenic side. The food stops were also a real treat.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore the quieter, more nature-focused side of Sapporo.

I was going to go to Otaru by public transportation alone, but I ended up using a tour product because I wanted to go to Shakotan too! The guide Haru was cheerful all day long, and the drivers were so kind. It was so windy in Shakotan that it was hard to take pictures, but... I almost regretted not going! Otaru had a really European feel, and it was nice because it felt like it was Japan but not quite. There were so many snack shops that I couldn't try them all, which was a shame ㅠㅠ I'll use it again when I come back to Sapporo next winter :)
