Tomio was fantastic. Knowledgeable , patient, punctual and friendly. His English was excellent. We had a fantastic tour of Hakodate with him. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much David. I also had a great day with your family in Hakodate.
We were only in Hakodate for 1 day. Tomio, our guide, was able to fit in a full day of activities into the day with being flexible at each activity to allow us the time to enjoy it. At the Market, Tomio, made sure we visited all the unique stalls and the stalls with the best food selections. We opted to take public transportation which worked well out well with our budget. Overall, Tomio was a great guide and my family enjoyed the day.
Thank your for the review. I hope you and your family member had great days in Japan.
