"We were very delighted about the service provided by Fiona and our Sapporo Highlights Tour. Our guide Chiyomi was very charming, spoke a very good English and provided us with very much interesting information. The booking procedure was easy and reponse times from Fiona always very short! We can only recommend Japan Shore Excursions."
