“Fun Walking Tour of Hakodate with a Local!”

Bobby and I had a fantastic day around Hakodate. It was my first time in the area and Bobby is a local, so she was able to recommend plenty of delicious things to try as well as fantastic spots to visit in Hakodate! The walking tour was fantastic and I had a great time, we were able to visit Mt Hakodate, Goryokaku, the morning market and more sightseeing spots! If anyone is coming to Hakodate and wants to learn more about the area, Bobby is knowledgeable about Hakodates history and about the best spots to visit!

Hi Elisa! Thank you so much for your review! You are such a warm person with a wonderful smile, and I truly enjoyed spending time with you. Hearing you say that you met so many kind and welcoming Japanese people during your solo trip made me feel proud and happy. Thank you for sharing that with me. Meeting you in person made me feel that your character and warmth truly brought smiles to everyone you met during your journey. Our lunch was amazing too wasn’t it? I hope you’ll visit again someday, next time maybe with someone special. I’m so grateful for this encounter, and as a friend in Japan, I sincerely wish you happiness in everything ahead. Thank you for choosing Hakodate and for choosing this tour! Big hugs, Bobby

“Magical Hakodate”

One of my family's most memorable times spent in Japan has been in Hakodate with our informative and vibrant guide, Bobby. Her love of her city shone through with every site we visited. She was very attuned to things we'd enjoy experiencing-from my 14 year old grandson trying various market delights, sharing family stories with my daughter and showing us a quiet off the beaten path shrine, to the wonderful views on Mt.Hakodate, it was a truly magical day in Hakodate with Bobby.

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It truly warmed my heart to read your kind words! Spending the day with your beautiful family in Hakodate was such a joy for me as well. This time, we explored some of Hakodate’s must-see, iconic spots, but there are still so many other wonderful places I’d love to show you. I hope next time you’ll have a bit more time to enjoy Hakodate at a more relaxed pace and see even more of what makes this city so special. Your curiosity, warmth, and appreciation for local culture made the day feel extra special. I feel honored to have been a part of that experience. Wishing you all many more joyful adventures together. Please do visit again someday! Warmest regards, Bobby

“Bobby is Exceptionally Amazing”

Bobby was very responsive with contact prior to our tour and meet us at the cruise port promptly as promised. She took us on an incredible walking tour, showing us some of the best highlights. She was very flexible in planning our day to match our interests. Bobby even purchased tickets for the places we visited prior to our arrival so we could avoid long lines and waiting, making every moment of our time together pleasant. Her English is very clear and easy to understand. She has so much knowledge about Hakodate that she easily answered all of questions. We had 5 ports during our 10 day cruise and we ranked this tour #1. If you are visiting Hakodate and Bobby is available you should consider yourself Lucky. We strongly suggest you book her services if you want to explore this city as a local and not a tourist. Thank you again Bobby for the most Amazing Day!
