Overall we had a pretty good experience. This is not considered a "guided tour" it's more of a mode of transportation. I wish we had a little more time at the furano park and Biei pond. I felt like there were a couple of unnecessary stops that prolonged the day (shopping stops, I think one is enough). The parks are all worth the visit though, and we were happy we got to visit these places.Shunpei_O

We would have never seen as much as were able to in such a short amount of time if not for the tour. The tour guide and bus driver were extremely kind and professional. The bus left promptly at 7:35 from our hotel and we made our way up to Furano/Biei as planned. The flower fields were beautiful and the highlight of our tour. The curry lunch had generous portions and amount of time allotted at each location was spot on. This was one of our highlights of our time in Sapporo. We returned to Sapporo station around 7PM.Doris_M

Highly recommend this day tour from Sapporo! Would have been 5 stars If English speaking tour guide😊. It was great to include Everything from visiting Tomita farm, Ningle Terrace, cheese factory, Blue Pond, and lunch. Just a note, however, the tour guide and driver did a great job!

The flowers were so beautiful! We tried the Lavendar ice cream - a different taste from the usual milk ice cream in Hokkaido and it's nice! The blue pond was a a rather small pond and it was very crowded with tourists taking photos but it was amazing to see the colour of the water change from green at one end to a sea of blue at the other end. It was beautiful! Worth going!peekek

We've been on two tours, of which I liked this one the best: all explanations and sights were explained in both Japanese and English, which was very helpful for us because it helped us understand what the day would look like and when we should gather back. There was some promotion of local businesses, but excessively much. There was enough time to walk around and explore the advertised sights.
