Perfect Day In Fukuoka - Radim is an excellent guide and a great ambassador for Japanese culture despite not being a native citizen of Japan. He is able and willing to plan the day around whatever priorities you have, and can make recommendations when asked (as proven by his three superb ramen recommendations). He offers a bespoke planning experience and is very responsive using email, messaging, or a phone call. I can't wait to have Radim plan my next holiday in Kyushu!

A great learning experience - The tour given to me by Mike was amazing. I learned a lot about the history of Fukuoka and got to see some great shrines and temples. Mike was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of the questions I had. They also made some great recommendations for other things to see and do during the rest of my stay in Fukuoka and the Kyushu area. I highly recommend this experience to others that are looking to learn more about the attractions in Fukuoka. Thank you!

Informative, cultural and a highlight - Had a lovely tour with Remakr who showed us some lovely spots including the wooden Buddha and the trip to hell! He recommended some evening spots which resulted in us stumbling on the Nakasu Kunihiro women’s makoshi festival! Fabulous

Great memorable tour - Aloha This was our second trip to Fukuoka- still not enough time to experience all that Fukuoka has to offer. We requested to see the reclining Buddha at Nanzoin temple. Awesome, Nanzion Temple is more than just the resting Buddha... a must see in addition to many other famous temples and shrines. Other than that Radim had free rein in our tour. He did not disappoint. We revisited Kushida Shrine. Our first time, because of Hakata Gion festival, much of Kushida Shrine was inaccessible. This visit we saw an Inari Shrine w/ a short red torii gates tunnel, sacred stone Chikara-ishi... also we were lucky to witness a kendo tournament and a wedding. Radim took us to a rooftop garden and lookout at Hakata Station, ate lunch at Kawabata shopping mall ending our tour at Brtish Pub Morris. Mahalo Michael and Jo Ann

Great walking tour - I got a little lost at the bus station meeting point, but there was great communication from Radim and he was able to find me. I had a wonderful time learning about Fukuoka as we visited some shrines and did some shopping. He was very knowledgeable about the area, culture and language. The best part was seeing the bronze Buddha. I would definitely recommend doing this tour.
