The tour guide's performance on this trip was consistently above average, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and patience. He switched seamlessly between Chinese and English, and his explanations were accurate and extremely detailed, making him a veritable walking encyclopedia of knowledge.
During the visit to Moji Port, his explanations of the local history, the appropriate time allotted, and local specialties like curry and banana cake were all very thorough, greatly benefiting the travelers. Even with traffic congestion, no one in the group experienced any problems; even common traffic jams didn't disrupt the itinerary, ensuring no budget was lost or the trip was delayed.
Regarding the experience at the attractions, there were some minor fluctuations. The terrain of "Motonosumi Shrine" felt slightly dangerous, and I was briefly out of sync with the group, so I couldn't quite locate the famous "Ryugu Ushiwakazuki" (Dragon Palace Ejaculation) spot. Unfortunately, the torii gate path was closed. However, the experience of visiting Mt. Sarakura at night was amazing. Although the crowds were unusually large, and even standing room was a bit cramped, the stunning night view was well worth it.
In summary, the tour guide was very talkative, possessed extensive general knowledge and a deep understanding of Japanese culture, making him an invaluable asset to the tourism industry. Such excellent human resources are definitely above average, and I strongly suggest that the travel agency assign him more important tasks and give him a substantial raise as encouragement!
Thank you so much for the guide and driver for an exceptional and memorable travel experience. 😉😗😚🥰😀
I don't know why I bought it when it was suddenly on sale for a little over 300 yuan. Just redeeming one of the restaurant vouchers for that price almost broke even, plus it included a bus ticket from the station to the airport. Redeeming a few more attraction tickets would have exceeded that value. But if it were originally priced at over 1000 yuan, it wouldn't have been much of a bargain.
Mr. Liu was in charge of our two-day trip. From the moment he picked us up from the airport, he sent us videos explaining how to get to the pick-up point. At each attraction, he would take us out for a walk and provide explanations along the way. He even thoughtfully provided us with umbrellas when it rained, which was very considerate.
After buying food at the Karato Market, there's nowhere to eat. The second floor requires a fee, and the air conditioning isn't very effective; you'll be sweating buckets while eating. The outlet mall is great for shopping; I wanted more. The night view of Mount Sarakura is beautiful, but there were many people waiting for the bus down. Our guide eventually led us down on foot (10 minutes), which was also fun. Highly recommend our guide, "Xiao Guo" (his service was excellent).
The limestone cave is definitely worth seeing, and the day tour price is very reasonable. Thank you to the tour guide and driver for leading the way.
