Recovery from putting down stress in Japan - Dear Viator, Apologies for my late reply because I have a new job to handle after the trip. I would like to appreciate my tour guide- Taiyo. He is a responsible and nice person to bring me to a specific place in Fukuoka, and bring me back to meeting point. I would feel peaceful and comfortable during the trip. He also has a good interpretation to explain the location point’s history and deeper understanding. I learned a lot from him. He never gives up to motivate myself to explore the good view in Japan. Finally, I want to thanks his honesty and true during the trip. He shared his background and story about his life. I think it is a valuable opportunity to let me know about Japan from a local person. His background enriches his mind to open my heart to trust him, which I could share more about my life and Hong Kong situations with him. He seems like a life mentor in Japan, which let me know how could I use the experience in the tour after back in Hong Kong. I would like to have him for second time in Japan with my friends if he is available also. Please let him know I am really enjoyed the trip, even I am few depressed from my local news during the trip. However, he is trying to use a lot of things to let me recovering. Wishing him to have a beautiful life soon. Best wishes, TSOI Tsz Fung Keith

Enjoyable day in Fukuoka! Nice weather, great food and beautiful sights! - Thank you to Bruce for meeting us at our hotel and showing us around Fukuoka! We really enjoyed going to Nanzoin Temple to see the Reclining Buddha (Nehanzo) world’s largest bronze statue and the Sasaguri Pilgrimage! We loved having a delicious & authentic Japanese lunch of the beaten path, frequented by locals in a hidden alleyway. So reasonable and tasty! Loved strolling and exploring the beautiful sights at Ohori Park and stopping by Starbucks for a refreshing drink & snack only available in SB Japan. Also, thank you for all your suggestions of things to do, places to visit and how to get to and from places. It was great meeting you Bruce! Thanks for making our visit in Fukuoka so memorable! We will be back!

We love Fukuoka! Thank you Bruce! - Bruce provided exceptional service as a Fukuoka tour guide. As this was our first visit to this area he communicated prior to our arrival to get an overview of our expectations. His wealth of knowledge and warm personality made it a memorable day. We experienced delicious snacks and a traditional Japanese lunch, walked through Canal City and Tenjin, and strolled through Ohori park to name a few. Bruce provided information on the train system and made many suggestions for favorite food spots and other places to visit for our remaining days. He is definitely passionate of Fukuoka and loves to share!

Thank you, Mickey-san. I couldn't ask for a better guide. - It was a great pleasure meeting Mickey-san, and kudos to City Unscripted for a great tour. CU obviously invested on training their guides well and on their website, which made communication and conveying my areas interests super easy and convenient, before they matched me perfectly with their guides. Mickey-san is a true local guide, who grew up in Fukuoka. She is patient, very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She speaks perfect English. She helped me not just with the 6 hours walking tour that i booked via CU, but also with suggestions on what else I could do for the rest of my days in Fukuoka. She even highlighted some not-to-be-missed sights in Hiroshima, my next destination after Fukuoka. I really couldn't ask for a better guide. 😊
