Hakodate Tour Reviews

“Would have missed much in and about Hakodate without our guide.”
Hakodate was one of our favorite stops while circumnavigating around Japan. Even with a language barrier we were able to communicate easily with her with both of us having good translation apps. We were shown many very special areas in the port. Thank you GoWithGuide!

“Bobby is an amazing guide!”
We had such a good time with Bobby in Hakodate! She is an expert on the area and was very informed. Her English is great and she is super friendly and conscientious. She made sure we saw everything we hoped to see and more while sharing her perspective on each site. At the end, we felt like we had made a new friend! Great guide!

Dear Don and Family, Thank you so much for such wonderful words in your review. As a tour guide, I couldn't have asked for a greater compliment! It was such a warm and enjoyable time together. I loved not only sharing my hometown, Hakodate, with you, but also getting to know each of you. You are such a lovely family, and the kind of family I truly admire! You were all so active, curious, and open to new experiences, which made my job as your guide such a pleasure. And most of all, your Japanese brought smiles and warmth to everyone we met along the way. On behalf of the people of Hakodate, thank you so much for that! and I feel truly happy and honored to have been a part of such a special birthday trip for your son. I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday! With warmest wishes, Bobby

“Private Exkursion with Bobby”
Thank you so much for the opportunity to go on this excursion with Bobby—a small woman with a big smile and a warm heart. This day will remain in our memories. She explained everything perfectly, chose great locations, and took our personal wishes into account. Our conversations were wonderful, and we learned a lot. If we return to this region, we will definitely choose Bobby again. A thousand thanks for the guiding

Dear Anetta and Henry, I was so happy that we finally got to meet after first hearing from you back in February! After your original plans were cancelled due to COVID, I was especially happy that you finally made it back to Japan and got to discover Hokkaido. I feel truly honored to have been a part of this special trip! The lunch we shared and all the photos we took together are precious memories that I will treasure. Thank you so much! You have also given me a new dream, one day, I would love to visit Germany and try ''Hokkaido''! I would be so happy if our paths crossed again someday. Until then, I hope you enjoy every moment of the rest of your journey! With warmest wishes, Bobby
