The scenery was amazing. ... - The scenery was amazing. It took moderate amount of effort to climb up and down the stone steps to get to the Gorge, but it is worth the effort. The guide (Kevin) was very good and entertaining.

Great gorge and train ride. - Contrary to other reviews. I think its important you show up at 730am a lt Lawson as there are about 100 people easy looking for flags and tour guides. There are many similar flags and its easy to lose your guide. Overall was a great experience as YANG knows her stuff and airdropped a list of Fukuoka places to eat and shop. A lot of walking and a Ztip, get a taxi at 690Y up the gorge unless u want to walk up like 15 stories on a slope and be exhausted for the rest of the trip.

Loved all the scenic... - Loved all the scenic views on this tour, and our guide Kevin was friendly and did a great job keeping us on schedule. If you have trouble with stairs or a fear of heights though, take note: this tour has both.

Great and Not So - The bus driver was very enthusiastic. He gave some colorful comments to enrich the main guide. I was able to convince the guide to take a group picture on the train. The train should have been added to the overall price because it was so integral to the overall experience. The operator should have gotten advanced tickets to the boat tour.
