Aso tour - Guide only knew how to give directions in English, no explanations of the sites or any other important information given. He was fluent in Chinese and Japanese only.

Worst Experience with a Tour - Scam. - I booked this tour three weeks in advance. The booking said the tour started at 8am and the night before I’d be notified of the meeting point. By 9p the night before there had still been no notice. I contacted the company via phone and messenger, no response. By 10:30p by the time I had gone to sleep, the company sent word that the tour starts at 7:40a. It was too late by that time, I already had work meetings in the morning. Departing by 7:30a, I informed the tour contact I may run 5mins behind due to the late notice. I was corresponding with them via WhatsApp as instructed in which they informed me they will not wait. I arrived at 7:43, I did not find them. The entire time I was corresponding with the tour guide. As soon as 7:40a hit, the tour guide no longer responded to my messages or offered to assist when I asked if there was another way there. See all correspondence attached. Luckily, I found other tour groups there and the tour guide of another company was kind enough to let me pay on the spot and join their tour. Which, properly started at 8am. As a solo traveler, these tours are booked weeks in advance and my entire time in Hakata was planned around this tour. I am very disappointed in the misrepresentation on the booking, the late notice, and the lack of accountability by this company and the tour guide. I cannot say enough that this entire situation was unprofessional. The tour guides name is Ada. I would not advise booking with this company or this tour. I would recommend GoGoDay tour instead. They were accommodating, helpful, and saved my trip in Hakata!
