    Amen to that! Klook helped me so much in so many ways. I'm a DIY traveler and I don't join guided tours - I'd rather explore on my own (I enjoy my freedom hahaha). On my recent trip to Osaka (as in last March), I availed most of my tickets via Klook: JR Kansai, JR Rail, and USJ. It's why I advertise them too. I wouldn't promote something that I don't use or don't believe in.
