I chose this tour for my solo trip to Hakata. I was a bit anxious when I later found out that this tour was aimed at foreigners. However, when I mentioned at the meeting point that I only understood Japanese, they assured me it would be fine. The female guide, Lee, was very kind and attentive to me, the only Japanese participant, while explaining in Korean and Chinese.

後で知った事で焦りましたが、このツアーは外国人向け。しかも申し込み時に英語での説明を希望していたらしく、集合場所で日本語しか分からない事を伝えると、大丈夫と受けてくださいました。
女性ガイドのリーさんが、韓国語、中国語で説明をする中、日本人1人の私に丁寧に接して頂きました。
ツアーの内容が私が行きたい所ばかりで大満足な旅でした。
とても暖かいツアー会社です。

It was my first time in Kyushu and my first time at a safari park, so it was refreshing.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have much time, but well, it was just about the right amount of time, I suppose.

At night, I went to a seafood restaurant recommended by the guide and was very satisfied.初めての九州　初めてのサファリパークでしたので新鮮でした。

少し時間にゆとりがなかったのが、すこし残念でふが　まぁ　程よいと言えば程よいな

夜はガイドさんに教えてもらった海鮮屋さんにいって大満足

A mysterious day where multiple languages are spoken, even though it's within the country.

I expected there would be many foreigners, and there were seven from English-speaking countries, two from China, and the rest from Korea, with only me being Japanese. The guide, Chuchu, secured a seat right behind me and provided guidance through the microphone, then came over to assist me, so I was able to enjoy everything without any problems.外国人が多そうとは予想してましたが英語圏7人中国2人あとは韓国で日本人は私1人でした。ガイドのチュチュさんがすぐ後ろの席を確保下さりマイクで案内後に隣に来てご案内下さったので何も問題なく楽しめました。

There was one Japanese person, and the rest were from various countries.

The Kamado Hell and Umi Hell in Beppu are impressive onsens that you can't enter, especially for first-timers. The pudding and onsen eggs at Kamado Hell are delicious.

At the African Safari, the animals were just lounging around, so it wasn't very thrilling.

After soaking in the onsen, my skin became smooth.

Thank you for a wonderful day! 日本人1人の、あとは多国籍でした。
別府のかまど地獄と海地獄ははじめての人には迫力のある入ることの出来ないおんせんです。かまど地獄のプリンと温泉たまごが美味しいです。
アフリカンサファリは動物たちがもうのんびりしちゃって迫力なかったです。
由布院は食べ歩きで、ガイドさんに教えて貰った椎茸焼きと唐揚げ、コロッケを食べ、絶品でした。現金のみの対応のようです。
温泉に入り、お肌スベスベになりました。
1日ありがとうございました。

I participated with my daughter. I applied without realizing it was a tour for foreigners, and I was worried until the day of the event.

He was very cheerful, and the conversation was enjoyable. The driver was also friendly, so we had a great time during the bus ride. Before I knew it, I forgot that we were the only Japanese among the foreigners. The tour content was fulfilling, and we were able to have a very enjoyable day. Thank you very much. 娘と二人で参加させていただきました。
外国人向けのツアーだと気づかずに申し込みをしてしまい、当日まで大丈夫かなと不安に思っていました。
集合場所に行って最初に声をかけた方が、たまたま私達が乗る予定のバスのガイドさんでした。
日本の方ではなかったので、大丈夫かなと思いましたが、不安はすぐになくなりました。日本人は私達だけだったのですが、バスの中でもすぐそばに座ってくれて、日本語で色々と説明してくれました。とても明るい方で会話も楽しく、運転手さんも気さくな方だったので、バスの道中もとても楽しく過ごせました… 娘と二人で参加させていただきました。
