Fantastic Tour and Guide - What an amazing tour! Remakr (Jaksik) is a fantastic tour guide--full of great information about the major sites of Fukuoka. The tour is like walking around your best friend's home town--lots of laughter and stories interspersed with the beautiful sites. The shrines and the reclining Buddha are must-sees! Do this tour--you will not regret it!

Personalized Outing - Rad provided great explanation on places to see so we could get the most of the day and see the sights even in such small amount of time.
He provided great tips of places to eat and it was not disappointing in any way…the restaurant selected had the best food and atmosphere 10 out of 10.
In addition, he provided numerous tips for places to see and eat during the remaining time we had left.

Great way to see Fukuoka for the first time! - This tour was a lot of fun! Our guide was knowledgable about the main temples and touristy areas that we wanted to see. He also had great recommendations for food in Fukuoka. I brought two children (ages 10 and 6), and he was cheerful and patient with them, too.
