Wonderful day , loved the experience - Excellent experience. The Guide Rita was very fluent in English and two other languages ( Mandarin & Japanese). She was very pleasant, helpful and answering all questions very patiently. The driver also drove carefully and we had a lovely day visiting all the sights in Furano. The Tomita Farm and Blue Pond experiences are the most cherished .

Beautiful landscapes! - This tour is well worth it. The blue pond and the lavender fields are BEAUTIFUL! The tour was very well organized, the tour guide was terrific and very friendly and knowledgeable. The bus was comfy enough. The buffet was quite good (better than expected). HIGHLY WORTH IT AND RECOMMENDED!

Awesome full day experience - We generally avoid tours that are part of large groups whenever possible. However, since it would have been difficult or impossible to take this trip on our own, we decided to give it a try. I'm pleased to say we had a great time on this tour and saw so many things we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. Our guide Rita was awesome! She was pleasant to interact with, funny and provided some great anecdotes while traveling to various destinations. She even offered to take pictures of us many times throughout the trip. She is a true professional being able to manage such a large group of various languages all while being fun and engaging. Each of the locations we visited speaks for themselves and were outstanding in their own way. One thing to note, some of the locations like the Biei Blue Pond will be packed with other tours. So be prepared to deal with large crowds at key photo locations. The only minor negative for the whole trip is the lunch buffet. Generally speaking, it wasn't terrible but compared to all the other street food and restaurants we visited throughout our Japan trip we'd rate this at the bottom. Keep in mind this is a full day trip. If you can't pack enough food/snacks to hold you until after 6 PM, you'll only have 1 very short opportunity to stop at a small conbini (Convenience Store) early on in the trip for snacks. Despite that minor negative I would still highly recommend this tour.

As it was still the end... - As it was still the end of summer, we were fortunate enough to catch the sight of colourful flowers but sadly no more lavender. Our guide, Rita of Gogoday Travel, was very cheerful and informative through the full day tour. I appreciated her pleasant disposition on a long day travelling in a bus. Thank you, Rita!

Country side of Sapporo - It is a tour to the country side of Sapporo. It took about 2 hrs to the blue pond which is man-made. It was cloudy and we didn't get a chance to see the volcano in the distance. The better season for the Furano flower Form is later July to Sept. The drive is bit long for the tour sites, just wish the tour agency uses the bigger bus to make the trip more comfortable. The tour guide is friendly and accommodating to all passengers.

A BIT OF A BAIT AND SWITCH… - Farm Tomita and the Blue Pond are definitely worth a visit…just not with this company. Even though Sophia, our tour guide, was very nice, the tour was not as advertised. I specifically booked with this company based on the tour size and the different places that we would be attending even though it is more expensive than the other tours that I researched on both TripAdvisor and other site sites.The description states that there would be a maximum of 10 people on the tour and that we would be visiting five locations (stopping at four) along with a stop for lunch. First, there were 16 people on our tour. Although there was enough space for most to sit comfortably on the small bus, it definitely was not the small intimate tour group that was advertised. There was very little difference between this tour and a bus tour in terms of size. Second, we did not make it to all the locations…the stop at Shikisai-no-Oka was omitted. This was not due to traffic conditions or weather, but planned at the beginning of the trip as Sophia never mentioned it on the list of places we were going. Going to both Farm Tomita and Shikisai-no-Oka was the main reason why I booked this much more expensive trip with this company. Definitely go to Furano and visit Farm Tomita, the Blue Pond, and the other attractions…but not with this company!

Meh - I guess we were just paying for the transportation? Overall pretty disappointing experience for the price. Everything felt rushed and a little underwhelming. I thought we would get some information about the sites. The Rollercoaster road and the wooden shopping houses at the end could be skipped entirely. The buffet was pretty decent actually but again not worth the price. I wouldn't recommend to my friends.
