The best of fukuoka through its food and its people - The 6 hours of the tour flew by! Bruce was wonderful, he is passionate about life in Japan, its culture and its food. He passed on his love for the place. He's a happy man!

Excellent tour guide - The experience Yu provided felt like catching up with an old friend in a new city rather than being taken around on a tour. This was excellent. The experience was a very warm welcoming to a wonderful city.

Ken was an excellent guide - Lots of walking (good) and stimulating conversation with a cool local. Ken kept the tour moving along and we visited a number of places that didn’t appear in the guides. My personal preferences were taken into account. Highly recommended.

Inside Fukuoka - The tour with Yutaro was exceptional and provided my wife and I with a lasting impression of this beautiful city. Yu's passion and knowledge of his home town enhanced our time together as he shared his experiences visiting the local temples as a child. He also provided valuable recommendations of local restaurants that were high in taste and vibe but off the typical tourist circuit. We appreciated Yu's personal touch and have a much greater appreciation for Fukuoka than if we had tried to navigate this great city on our own. Many thanks Yu!

best tour ever - yu was an exceptional tour guide during our visit to Fukuoka, effortlessly blending his deep local knowledge with a personal touch that made us feel like lifelong friends. As a native, he took us to hidden gems only a local would know, giving us a unique perspective of the city that went far beyond typical tourist spots. His insight into Fukuoka’s history and culture was both fascinating and detailed information that would have been impossible to uncover without his intimate connection to the area. With his warm personality and incredible expertise, Yu truly made this one of the best tour experiences we've ever had.

Not what everyone would enjoy, but I loved it and that was the whole idea. - Having Mone tell me what the Japanese sweets were so I could make a more intelligent choice from the huge array of Japanese sweets. Given that I use a walker and that it was a rainy day, Mone was able to accomodate that in our planning. I didnt really want to go to Museums and galleries I was able to share lunch and chat for quite a while about Japan and hear from Mone about her life here. Not what most people want but it suited me very well indeed.

Great local experience - Our guide Mai was very accommodating. Not only did she come directly to our cruise port to meet us, she was very open to adjusting our itinerary due to unpleasant weather. We were able to see and do many of the things we wanted and still manage to stay relatively dry through a very wet day.
