Kaz was a great guide and our small group became fast friends. All the food and drink we tried were delicious. Will not dissapoint.
Wonderful tour with small group and the guide was a lot of fun. More food than I expected. Quality may not be the best but most of it was tasty.
We had an amazing time with Midori. She was friendly, informative and really welcoming. The tour ended up being just myself & my husband so we got a true flavour of local Sapporo nightlife and she made the experience unique to us, by finding out what kinds of food we liked - they oysters were a real highlight!

This was the best experience we had of Sapporo! Ayumi was a great guide! We got lucky to have had a private tour and visit 3 izakayas with unlimited drinks (both alcohol and non-alcohol). The skewers tasted really well in the first, and the sake that wemt with it capped the experience. Of course we had Sapporo classic beer which lived up to its reputation. The plum wine was likewise good. The lamb at Genghis Khan next was also amazing. Then the 3rd bar also offered treats whixh were nostalgic of childhood in the 1970’s and 80’s, and I got a good cold orange drink. But it was Ayumi who made the experience great with her stories and personality. This is a must-do tour in Sapporo!
Aika was a great and knowledgeable host- she showed us places we would have never ventered into! It was fun going to local bars and meeting people, everyone was so welcoming! A great experience overall!
